A holistic village for self-sustainable cosmopolites

It is a deep wish of many people:

• To be able to travel and live in a warmer climate part of the year during Scandinavia’s cold season. 
• To move to the countryside while maintaining a base in the city such as a shared apartment
• To have a high degree of self-sufficiency with food for the body and soul etc. in the present risky times 

Cosmopolitan life

I have worked in several Balkan countries and to establish a sister village there is an option when considering southern Europe. Prices are still low. In Monte Negro for instance, there is an absolutely beautiful, huge lake near the ocean and also near the capital. Here they say that you can go skiing in the mountains during the morning and go swimming in the ocean in the afternoon. It is a small country, but really beautiful.

As to have a good warm place during wintertime, Goa in India comes to my mind. The climate is balanced, and there is relatively easy access to other parts of India. That country is incredible, and you have a concentration of big souls and masters as nowhere else on this planet. You are nearer the divine so to say. India is just so different. For Vedapark inhabitant to have a settlement in Goa would be a dream.

A base in the city

Many expressed a wish to live in the heart of nature in the countryside, but still, from time to time, stay in the nearby city. It appears good to have the best of both worlds.

In the longer term it is an option to buy common houses in cities like Malmo, Copenhagen and perhaps Berlin. Those interested in our project find that highly interesting. And add to this: the purchase of a big summerhouse and boat, e.g. in nearby Österlen. In this way Vedapark can become an entry to a life of freedom for you. But it assumes a group which can cooperate on a sharing basis, share is the keyword.

Self sustainable

Ideally people like the village to be self-sufficient with food, energy, job and finance, so that one may stay in nature’s harmony every day. Eco-villages around the globe have a high degree of sustainability in many of these spheres, but usually not in all of them. In our village we have 40HA of land including the common land and it should be possible to buy more over time as a basis for innovative activities.

Further it is paramount to have a retreat and course facility which will be run by Vedapark's educators, with great souls from outside and abroad to come and share their wisdom. This will give vibrant life to the community. Otherwise it may easily turn into a sleepy place – great things must happen there, great beings should develop there in the heart of nature in the heart of Scania and Scandinavia.

Is it realistic? 

Actually, in entrepreneurship there is a saying. It goes like this: ‘It is just as easy to make big projects as small ones’ – for one thing the big ones attract more interest, there is more inspiration, and who wants to be small?
