Description
Right now we need help these dates:
1st to 9th of June.
Hello! Me, my brother and my mother are in the process of building a new guesthouse by our country house in the archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden. We have two small houses where you can live and one yogashala house on our property.
During the summers we use it as a retreat centre and family summer house. Me, Sofia also teach some drop in yoga classes (you are welcome to join).
So mainly short term at the moment, since we are working in Stockholm during the weekdays sometimes and since we're not sure how long the project will take!
Exchange: You'll get your a place to stay, all meals of course! Max 5 hours of help with preparation & some breaks included in that time;) Check our reviews to get a clearer picture of this place and us!
In you message to us:
- Write shortly about you. (We would like to match well with the persons that comes here, since we live together a bit like a family and eat/cook together and so on)
- Any previous experience that could benefit us here (construction building).
- Your preferred dates? (arrival+departure or flexible)
- Let us know also if you have any of these experiences: pharmaculture/gardening, construction, design/architecture, artwork!

All meals included.

Accommodation
You'll get your own house upstairs by the yogashala to share with another workawayers (if more than you). There is two rooms there! So depending on the number of workawayers, you'll get your own room.
What else ...
If you're from abroad Arlanda Airport is closest by for you to fly to. Let me know when you arrive and I can help you find a good bus to the retreat! The cheapest way is to travel by local transport: download the app called "SL" to see time schedule & prices. Our bus station station is called Glyxnäs (Norrtälje)
On your free time you can go for walks in the forest or to the water. Go to the local cafe or another event happening on the island. Read a book, lie in the hammock, paint, bicycle making art etc.

Leaving this place, I only keep in mind good memories and laughters.
