The Northern Lights

At The Northern Lights, we are dedicated to empowering communities through food sovereignty. We believe that everyone has the right to access nutritious, locally-produced food that honors the principles of ecological balance and sustainability. Through regenerative agricultural practices, educational programs, and agroecological collaborations, we nurture a resilient food system that prioritizes local resources, biodiversity, and independence from industrialized food chains.

We envision a future where energy needs are met sustainably, equitably, and locally. Our initiatives focus on harnessing renewable energy solutions that reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote resilience in the face of global energy challenges. From solar power installations to low tech designs, we empower communities with the tools and knowledge to produce and manage their own clean energy, contributing to a regenerative, self-sufficient future.

The Northern Lights is more than a place—it’s a hub for social connection, cultural exchange, and shared creativity. We hold spaces where people come together to celebrate diversity, engage in meaningful dialogue, and co-create projects that strengthen social bonds. Through workshops, cultural events, and shared meals, we nurture the spirit of community, creating a foundation for collective action and mutual support.

We host workshops, seminars, and work exchanges focusing on permaculture design, market gardening, agroforestry, food preservation, seed harvesting, renewable energy, zero-waste lifestyles, natural building, non-violent communication and more.

Our farm is a teaching and production space, creating food forests and gardens that support both pedagogy and local food resilience. We operate our own green house where we produce vegetables that are sold during our Friday Market encouraging sustainable and local food systems.

From woodwork and metalwork to natural building with cob, we experiment with eco-construction methods using recycled and natural materials to build and renovate infrastructure on our farm, made possible by our workshop area fully equip with tools and necessary machines.

We offer hands-on workshops, participatory projects, and peer exchanges. Participants engage directly with agroecology and eco-construction to gain practical knowledge and skills empowering them to adopt sustainable methods in their own communities.

Acting as a hub, we connect young people with eco-projects across Europe and abroad, helping them deepen their knowledge in ecology, permaculture, natural buidling and renewable energy by cross-collaborations across borders. 

We dedicate parts of our land and efforts to creating natural habitats for wildlife through bioretenetion ponds, tree plantations, as well as hosting farm animals such as sheep and chicken to reintroduce biodiversity in the region. 

We organize cultural events and serve as an intergenerational meeting place, connecting young people with the local community through shared meals, Friday Farmer's market and other social gatherings. 

We offer co-creative spaces and artistic activities like acroyoga, circus, and theater performance giving time and space for participants and volunteers to offer their expertise and lead their own workshops. 

Music is a big part of our culture. Musicians and enthusiasts gather to explore improvised sounds, learn how to play new instruments, and harmonize together in a friendly, open environment.
