Growth is a shared practice.
Emerge Lakefront is a residential community in historic Sköndal, sharing daily life and growing the human capacities our times are calling for.
This land has been for becoming long before we arrived. For over a century, Stora Skondal has been a place of threshold-crossing — healing, service, care for those at turning points. Generations came here to transform, then returned to the world capable of more.
Lakefront continues that thread. Different form, same purpose. We operate with respect for this history of care, dignity, and service.
Who we become is shaped by the people we live alongside. We believe that growth is not a program you complete but a practice you repeat. That the kitchen, the conflict, and the hundredth ordinary Tuesday do more work than any workshop.
Inside that conviction, there is programming. Talks and workshops on leadership, inner development, and systems thinking. A global network of people doing similar work in other places. Tools grounded in research. Daily life as practice. Open to residents and to anyone who wants to take part.
This is not a retreat from the world. It's preparation for engaging it more wisely.
Emerge Institute
The ten-week intro programme that every new resident goes through. Workshops and talks that are offered. Focus on what is actually being delivered — not courses "under development."
The tone: this is how we help people find their feet and grow together. Not an academic programme, but a shared practice that makes the community work.

K9 COLIVING
Our predecessor created in 2016, a coliving in the centre of Stockholm, with residents that we regularly invite to our events.
The door is open, if you're curious.
Come for a coffee by the lake, or book a digital fika from wherever you are. No application, no presentation. Just a chance to ask questions and get a feel for the place.
Or apply for residency directly
