Celebrate Wisely-a New Journey

Next steps and new ideas, Go Nature Market

Celebrate Wisely is not a finished concept. It is the beginning of a shared journey—one that brings together people, places, and practices that may not yet know exactly where they will lead. That openness is part of the idea.

At the heart of this journey are three key personalities connected through Go Nature Market, each carrying a different but complementary perspective on how we learn, remember, and live wisely

Stories told as Bridges- Eva Oscarsson

Eva Oscasson, a key figure within Go Nature Market, is currently involved in EDUT, a group dedicated to bearing witness to the Holocaust through survivor testimony and historical education. Through this work, Eva has come to see storytelling as increasingly essential in our time, not as abstract history, but as a way for people to truly meet each other.

In a world marked by polarization and simplification, stories help us listen across differences. They allow knowledge to become lived experience and create space for empathy, responsibility, and learning across generations. For Eva, Celebrate Wisely is about protecting these stories and ensuring they remain present, embodied, and shared.

Connecting the Baltic Story- Iwona Slojka (Cross Baltica)

Iwona Slojka, founder of Cross Baltica, works with a different but closely connected layer of memory: the shared history of the Baltic Sea region. Her ambition is to reconnect stories that have long been separated by borders, wars, and time.

Through carefully designed journeys, historical encounters, and meetings across cultures, Iwona seeks to show how Sweden, Poland, and the wider Baltic region have shaped each other, through trade, conflict, cooperation, and survival. Her work is not about nostalgia, but about understanding continuity and responsibility.

Within Celebrate Wisely, Cross Baltica provides a framework for learning from history without glorifying violence—using remembrance, dialogue, and presence as tools for insight.

Cultivating a Living System – Malin Axelsson (Ödevata Countryside Hotel)

Malin Axelsson of Ödevata Countryside Hotel brings the perspective of permaculture, not as a trend, but as a living philosophy.

Permaculture is based on observing how natural ecosystems function and designing human systems that work with nature rather than against it. Its core ethics are:

• Care for the Earth
• Care for People
• Fair Share of resources

Rather than controlling nature, permaculture invites collaboration,between soil, plants, animals, water, and humans. Diversity, resilience, and long-term balance are central. In this way, a permaculture system becomes a cosmos: a whole where each part supports the others.

At Ödevata eco resort, these principles are not theoretical. They are practiced through cultivation, hospitality, and everyday decisions. Within Celebrate Wisely, permaculture offers a grounding reminder: sustainability is not forced, it is grown through patience, observation, and care.

Celebrate Wisely- Repairing the World, Step by Step

Celebrate Wisely is an action-based initiative built on four simple principles:

Learn wisely.
Think wisely.
Act wisely.
Celebrate wisely.

Peace, community, and sustainability do not begin with grand declarations, but with living the best life, shared effort and responsibility.

We invite you into a journey where we remember and celebrate wisely,by doing, learning, thinking, and engaging in the what we chose to do.

Act Wisely-Lighting a Kon-Tiki

By collecting brushwood and garden waste and transforming it into biochar, we create both climate benefits and local meeting places. The fire becomes a safe, shared space where practical work opens room for conversation and reflection.

When waste becomes a resource, we train ourselves to act wisely, locally, practically, and with a long-term perspective.

Learn Wisely – From History

Iwona offer a journey to Poland in connection with the 400th anniversary of the Battle of Mewe (1626). This is not a reenactment of war, but an opportunity to learn wisely from history, how conflicts arise, how they shape societies, and how their consequences continue to influence relationships across the Baltic Sea today.

---

Think Wisely – Through Testimony and Knowledge

In collaboration with EDUT, Eva visits to schools and churches make Holocaust history present through testimony and education. These stories provide fact-based tools to understand antisemitism, polarization, and the dangers of simplified narratives.

To think wisely is to accept complexity, and to take responsibility for memory.

Celebrate Wisely – Together

Celebrate Wisely is built on a simple yet powerful way of working: we act, we learn, we think, and we talk—together.

Celebration is not an escape from responsibility; it is part of it.

We do not yet know where this journey will take us. That uncertainty is intentional. We have more questions than answers. Together, through curiosity , willingness to learn and listen, practice and reflection, we will find the essence of what makes these ideas meaningful, and what makes them truly sustainable.

Step by step, we repair the world—wisely.
