Creating the community you crave
revillage
Today, Lykkå is a private, vetted, FB community of more than 450 individuals and families in Montreal, born out of an immediate need for day-to-day support and a sense of belonging. Many of us are newcomers, single parents, and people with little to no extended family around us.
Let’s co-create safe and welcoming communities where we each show up in the best way we can
Having worked closely with our members for three years, Lykkå is excited to introduce our new private platform. This platform is designed to help you effortlessly create your own in-person community, promoting trust, a sense of belonging, and sustainable co-living opportunities in Montreal and beyond.
Villagers will be supported by Lykkå’s activities, tools, and resources to feel secure and empowered in our community building and co-living journey.
Life is better together
It's Lykkå village
Lykkå Village uses online tools and in person activities to grow genuine human connections in the city, where isolation and overwhelm is a struggle for many.
Founded during the pandemic as an online support group for parents, Lykkå is now many things to many people.
It’s like a
- … community building and co-living toolbox
- … grow-your-own extended chosen family support
- … skill sharing and fun activities bulletin board
- … village for urbanites

“I was just thinking about how I rang in the new year with someone I met through Lykkå Village, how I'll be taking yoga with another Lykkå mom, and how meaningful the immigrant parent's group has been for me... thanks for all that you do! And the family counseling group is exactly what we've called a dozen therapists trying to find and weren't able to. Thank you SO much! I'm in awe of all that you and Jean-Michel do!”
“I just love the community you’re creating. That's why I’m getting involved a lot in it as well!! Thank you for your effort and work with the platform, the Facebook group, and the community chats and gatherings! I hope this community can grow but at the same time still keep feeling small and like a safe haven.”
