Help
Hello!!
We are looking for lovers of yoga and meditation to help create a beautiful beautiful space dedicated to yoga and meditation. We have a large property, with 2 barns, pond and a big house, located outside the cute artist town of Nora (20 min away), Sweden, 1 hour north of Örebro (the closest big city). We will be developing an organic garden, building decks, transforming one of the barns into living spaces, painting barns, beautifying the grounds etc. Every morning (optional) we'll have yoga and meditation in our meditation room before breakfast and work. Every now and then we will have kirtans (mantra chanting). And always interesting discussions around yoga, meditation, healthy food and spiritual life. The person(s) that would thrive in helping to develop this is interested in yoga and meditation, gardening, handy work and building. If this sound awesome to you, please reach out to us and we'll talk. Vegetarian meals will always be available. Vegan meals can be accommodated. No drugs, no pot, no pills. Nothing like that is our style. If you smoke, please do it outside.

What else ...
We are located in the countryside so there is so much beauty all around. There is a local country store walking distance, a lake for swimming nearby, a rowboat (workable but not a beauty). Bicycles available. The whole area comes alive in the summer and there are always tons of activities around us and in local towns.
