The platform at home
Why a membership is easier
- Cheaper than paying per class
On average ≈ 115 kr a class instead of 130 kr (≈ 58 instead of 70 without the café) — about 60 kr saved a month. The exact sum depends on how many Sundays the month has: with five, the fifth class is on us.
- No paying every Sunday
It is charged once a month automatically, and the receipt comes by e-mail.
- Paid ahead — a reason to come
When the class is already paid for, it is easier not to skip Sundays.
- No commitment
Cancel any time in your account on the site.
Fair rules. You pay for the month, not for each Sunday. Five classes instead of four? The fifth is on us. Missed one? The price stays the same — we don’t refund missed classes.
28 June Constitution Day of Ukraine
Ukraine adopted its constitution on 28 June 1996, thirty years ago this year. But the first one came in 1710, when Hetman Pylyp Orlyk wrote a document limiting the ruler’s power and protecting people’s rights — almost a century before most of Europe thought of it. Today’s constitution has 15 chapters and 161 articles and defines Ukraine as a sovereign, independent, democratic, social state governed by the rule of law. It is not only a legal text: it is an agreement between a people and a state about what is fair.

24 June Raising money for a vehicle for the front
We took part in a volunteer initiative to raise money for a vehicle for soldiers in Ukraine’s armed forces. Vehicles remain one of the most needed resources: they are used for logistics, evacuation and essential missions, so every such initiative turns into concrete support. Thank you to everyone who baked, stood at the stall and stopped by.

21 June Sankthans and Ivan Kupala
Both holidays come from the same source: the old celebration of midsummer, later tied to St John’s Day in the church calendar. In Norway the evening is about big bonfires along the coast, with villages competing over whose fire is highest. In Ukraine the night is about love and fortune-telling: girls float flower wreaths down the river, couples jump over the fire hand in hand, and in the forest people look for the mythical fern flower. Same fire, same night — different stories.

17 June Culture lives in people, not in walls
The cathedral of the Pechersk Lavra, the Art Arsenal, the art museum in Kharkiv, the organ hall in Dnipro — and the entire costume collection of the Dovzhenko film studio burnt to ashes. The Lavra is almost a thousand years old and has survived the Mongols, the Bolsheviks and two world wars. These are not military targets; this is an attack on identity. Norway knows this struggle from its own history: stave churches burned through the centuries, yet the craft lived on, and Nynorsk was fought for because language is identity. Culture does not live in walls — it lives in people. As long as they are here, so is the culture.
