Welcome to Walden Woods







Our Project


We love nature, people and Friluftsliv. Those three ingredients are the heart of our project:

Walden, a life in the Norwegian woods. A place where both nature and people can flourish!


Hope to see you there!


What is Walden Woods?


Walden Woods brings people and nature together. We are creating a community where primitive skills and back-to-basics living come together with modern technology and facilities. A place where we live in harmony with nature—not by exploiting or polluting it, but by working with it.

A place where you are free to shape your own life, while respecting the freedom of others.

Walden Woods is like an ecovillage, but with a strong emphasis on individual choice. You live your own life, while always having the opportunity to work together, help each other, or simply share good times whenever you feel like it—but you never have to.

We believe that meaningful interaction should come from intrinsic motivation, not from rules or obligations. Freedom, respect, nature, and genuine connection are at the heart of Walden Woods.

Curious about how it works? Get in touch with us.



Our Vision

To create an

  • off grid self-sufficient ecological village
  • where people can develop their full potential through intrinsic motivation
  • while living together as a resilient community in harmony with nature
  • serving as a source of knowledge and inspiration for the wider region


Food Production

We value organic, locally grown food. Walden Woods has five hectares of farmland, and we are looking for people who would like to help us become more self-sufficient in food production.

We believe in regenerative agriculture—working with nature to build healthy soil, increase biodiversity, and produce food in a sustainable way.

If this speaks to you and you would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email.

Feed the soil and yourself

Passion

When people do what they are passionate about, the sky is the limit.

We believe when you work from your passion, it provides the right conditions for you to develop your talents and flourish.

Craftsmanship

Do what inspires you
Become who you are

Initiatives

Within the project, different products, facilities, and services will emerge over time, depending on the needs, interests, knowledge, and experience of the people involved.

Rather than following a fixed plan, we see this as an organic process, where individuals and smaller groups are free to take initiative, develop ideas, and organize themselves in their own way.

This could include anything from a vegetable garden, workshop, sauna, wooden products, rental activities, or other businesses.

Make it Happen

Ideas grow when people
are free to act on them
