Join us and other women to transform the world!


Margaret Mead
 — ‘Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For indeed that's all who ever have. ’ 


Our big idea 

We want to explore how women can lead and create change for a better and more sustainable society and world. We want to offer a co-creational safe space where we explore ideas and actions that might be considered as controversial today but mainstream tomorrow.

We want to both create and affect change on the larger system level and the local level as well as smaller “micro” changes on the personal, private level. Every action counts.

What does ecofeminism mean to us/our approach to ecofeminism

Ecofeminism is a feminist approach to gender inequality, human rights and the rights of nature/ ecology. Ecofeminism sees a direct connection between Patriarchy, hierarchy, the abuse of power and the oppression of women, groups with less power and nature.

We see Ecofeminism as a platform for facilitating a paradigm shift in both our personal connection to how we live, what we value and our connection to others. It is a means to creating a more sustainable society and resilient climate-smart future with respect for all beings, animals and nature.

Isolation and disconnect from our selves and others keeps us from making the impact we have the capacity to make. Together we are a force for good and a force to be rekoned with.

Vad är ecofeminism för oss?

Ekofeminism är ett feministiskt förhållningssätt för att skapa ett mer hållbart samhälle och en klimatsmart framtid med respekt för alla människor, djur och natur på planeten.

What do we expect from you?

You decide. You can go all in, follow the happenings and events from the sideline, or cheer people on- we are all needed! Even the smallest bit of engagement is worthwhile and meaningful. You can join to be part of discussions, drive discussions, be a creative force, turn ideas/ visions into action or satisfy your curiosity of what is possible. We are in need of all kinds of different women because it brings greater perspective and possibility. It is our diversity and inter-connection that creates magic.  ( sustainable change)

  • Treat each other with respect

  • meet our differences with compassion

  • listen with our whole heart

Our Vision: The form to make this happen

We arrange physical meetups a few times a year in an unconference forum or open space. An unconference is basically a conference without predefined topics. The high level structure and theme of our meetings is ecofeminism and the climate, but actual topics are generated by the participants on the spot, and breakout groups are formed dynamically based on interest and relevance - World Café style.

Aligned Action comes from being, then doing.

First Meetup 17 June, kl 17.30 to start the discussion and find your aligned action
Klustret, Birger Jarlsgatan 58
please sign up (please note this is a group for women)

The Facebook-group EcoFeminism Sweden is our everyday forum. This is where we can continue to develop the ideas, in the groups formed at our meetings, and turn them into action.

Why do we think a feminist approach is important to solve the climate crisis and restore this planet?

“Climate change is not gender neutral. Women and girls are more vulnerable to its impacts. Equity is good for everyone. Enhancing the rights and well-being of women and girls could improve the future of life on this planet.” Drawdown

We hope you feel as inspired as we feel!  We look forward to meeting, connecting and acting for our interdependece with the Earth! 

Much love, Cissi and Heidi
