Sesselja’s Vision On The Silver Screen
Check out the Future of Food at The Nordic House!
August 8, 19:00
The Nordic House
Possible entrance fee
The Nordic House is showing the film ‘Future of Food,’ which highlights the life and
importance of Sesselja Sigmundsdóttir, who started the Eco-village Sólheimar back
in 1930 after being inspired by Rudolf Steiner, the founder of the spiritual movement
anthroposophy.
Today, it’s a small international community of about one hundred inhabitants
that strives to give everyone the opportunity to reach their maximum potential
through the community. It is also one of largest producers of organic vegetables in
Iceland, and is practicing the most sustainable ways of living in the country, notably
making good use of solar energy.
If you’re an environmentalist or just someone who’s open to new ideas, then this
is not a movie to miss!
