Sköndal, Stockholm

On the Drevviken lake in southern Stockholm

On a beautiful site overlooking the Drevviken Lake, just 20 minutes south of central Stockholm, our community enjoys the perfect blend of natural beauty and accessibility. This tranquil setting, once part of Stiftelsen Sköndal—a foundation dedicated to the education of Christian deacons—now serves as the home for our intentionally developmental community.

The site is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, providing a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere that is ideal for reflection, growth, and connection. The calming presence of the lake and the lush greenery foster a sense of serenity and well-being, enhancing our community's environment and ethos.

Currently, the building is undergoing a thoughtful renovation to meet the needs of our vibrant community. These renovations are designed to create spaces that support our principles of living, flourishing, and contributing. Once completed, the facility will feature modern amenities while preserving the site's historical and spiritual essence.

Our lakeside sanctuary is more than just a location; it is a nurturing environment where individuals can engage deeply with themselves, each other, and the broader world. Here, surrounded by the tranquility of Drevviken Lake, our community members find the perfect setting to explore new ways of being, thinking, relating, collaborating, and acting.

Join us in this beautiful, spiritually rich environment as we prototype the future and build a world where everyone can thrive.
