In the springtime of 2025, YIP 17 welcomes you to the Sowing Seeds of Connection Initiative Forum.

We see a crisis of disconnection in our world; a lack of connection to ourselves, to others and to our environments. YIP17 feels called to explore how we can sow seeds of connection in ourselves and our community to create ripples of positive change in the world.

This forum will tackle this theme through creative workshops, music events, and lectures from the renowned Dr. Vandana Shiva.

The accomodation that we offer is a very basic dormatory style and requires you to bring your own mattress and bedding.

We look forward to meeting you between the forest and the fjord here in Ytterjarna, Sweden.
