Ängsbacka is a renowned center for sustainable living and personal development, offering courses and festivals in yoga, meditation, personal growth, and sustainability.

The vision and mission of Ängsbacka are: We are internationally renowned source of inspiration, exploring how human beings together consciously can create the life they desire on earth, and demonstrating paths to sustainable development, well-being, and harmony.

The place is owned and run by a non-profit association of about 500 members and a core team of 45 people. In the adjacent village live about 200 people that were attracted to this rural area due to Ängsbacka events and activities.

With over 25 years of experience, we attract approximately 6,000 visitors annually.

We reinforce holistic community development by integrating the economic, ecological, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainability. We provide a transformative experiences through courses, workshops but most importantly the immersive experience in our intentional working community. Our volunteer program involves Swedish and international volunteers who contribute to the development of the place, organize festivals, and run their own learning programs.

We also initiate projects that unite and empower the local community, such as a food-saving project, a holistic preschool, and primary school, and a community cafe.

Our focus on climate change prevention and resilience has increased since 2021 in response to global challenges
