Programme · Ekskäret Island
Retreats at Ekskäret Island.
Residential retreats of three to five days on the island that has hosted the Institute's work since before it had a name – held apart from the mainland on purpose.
Ekskäret sits far enough from Stockholm that arriving takes intention – under two hours from central Stockholm by car or bus, then a boat. That threshold is part of the design. Retreats on the island are residential and run for three to five days, sometimes held in silence.
Registration for every island programme runs through an external host. Each listing below links out to the one it uses.
IDG Ambassador Programme
