Testimonials
"I have rarely met so many wonderful people with strong, solid values in one place. The community weekends have been filled with exciting programs, delicious food, meaningful conversations, and a beautiful focus on including and seeing each person. What I’ve found at Opaker is openness, care, generosity, inclusion, and warmth, and a place where it feels safe to let my authentic self shine. Thank you ❤️🙏"– Marit Ulset
"I participated in the Community gathering at Opaker Gård during Easter. WHAT an Easter it was! It was a fantastic gathering of people, creating an incredibly wonderful atmosphere throughout the weekend. A key factor in the mood is the setting that Opaker Gård provides. The communal areas are beautiful, yet unpretentious, and the rooms are large and comfortable. I’m looking forward to coming back to Opaker!"– Marius Lystad
