Ekskäret Island Care & Community Weekend

Welcome to the 
Ekskäret Island Care & Community Weekend 🤎

This weekend is an invitation to spend time on the island we love — to care for it, give back to it, and help it thrive for all the groups and initiatives that call Ekskäret home.

Together, we’ll tend to the land and the spaces in simple, practical ways so that the island can continue to support the people and gatherings that take place here. There will be tasks both indoors and outdoors and depending on what the island needs at the time, this might include maintenance, organising, cleaning, gardening, building and other hands-on projects.

The work contribution is at the heart of the weekend, but we also want it to feel good to do it together. Between the work sessions, we’ll share meals, spend time outdoors, have conversations, sauna if we feel like it, and enjoy being on the island together.

Who it’s for & What to expect
