  HEY YOU - You want to have a peaceful experience in the peace of nature?
  
  Yes right now there is a great possibility to learn a few things!!!
  
  - Autumn tasks in the garden that support the next growing season and having the mindset of creating more perennial forest gardens that in the future takes care of itself - yes it includes also weeding :D
  
  - Wild berries season - there are still some berries we can collect in the nature!
  
  - Building a composting drytoilet and another very simple DIY-building project - it is very good if you know some basics, like how to use some tools etc.
  
  And the tiny trailersauna is ready!!!! Wooohoo! So happy about that! :D
  
  This is what we´re on right now! Join us if you like to stay in a really nice nature place - here you won´t hear cars and the lake is right here! Life is simple and good!
  
  We live in a peaceful nest in the middle of nature - simple living, natural gardening, collecting wild food, swimming in the lake and ejoying Life as presence with gratitude.
  
  
  We have a cottage, a tiny house on wheels, a yurt (not up this year, but the floor building procet for the next season is one that we can do!) and a beautiful garden and 3 cats in the middle of a forest - you can´t hear no cars, and yet, it´s just 10 minutes by car from the 2 closest villages.
  
  We are Malla 43yo - natural gardener, doula, Zen Coaching practitioner and - and mother of Hilla 10yo. We really love to live here in the nature and be creative, make music and meditate and make fire in the evening.
  
  If you are interested in living in nature and all the various and interesting works that belong to the daily life in this kind of lifestyle - gardening, cooking, collecting wild berries, herbs, some small building works, yoga, dipping in the lake, simplicity, truth, meditation, making music and growing together - please tell us more about yourself and why you would like to come!
  
  If you understand about computer and know for example how to EDIT videos, I would be interested in learning that. Also if you are a digital nomad or have build social media and can share your advice in that, that would be very welcome! Also website desingning and insightful are welcome!
  
  !!!!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR 1 or 2 PEOPLE. The best would be if you can stay longer time. We´ve had great experiences when someone stayed the whole summer, she came back 3 summers in a row! New friendships can be born! About 2-3 weeks is quite optimal stay often.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  If you like to learn about simple life - how to live in nature and outdoor life - here it is! If you like DIY - we have built the tiny house ourselves and we create things as we go along.
  
  Presence and meditation is also essential part of our life, as well as non violent communication and practising genuine connection to ourselves and each others.
  
  I play charango and harmonium - quite simple - and I would love to share music if you play also, especially medicine music and such spiritual music interests me mostly. We can learn form each others!
  
  There is a guitar and an ukulele in the house as well.
  
  If this kind of things interest you - Welcome!!!

  Arbeit

  Most of all when you stay here, I would like it to be some kind of family vibe and for you to learn about this kind of lifestyle. In practise this would mean sharing tasks and relaxing time, so that everyone enjoys both.
  
  Weare creating a sustainable garden that grows perennial edible plants with minimun effort. How ever that means some effort in the creation phase, so that the perennials find their strenght and can take over unwanted weeds. It´s all about the balance. This can be very interesting to someone who's into natural gardening, permacultute and no-till. That´s also why help in April - May is very welcome, cause tahts the time to start gardening season over here. How ever with this kind of garden there are tasks from April to October. If you have studied some permaculture or similar and/or would like to learn how to create a garden, then this period would be perfect for you!
  
  We like to do everything finding natural ways - respectfully in harmony with nature. It is great if you have been working with earth and gardening before - and like to use your body and creativity. The tasks are not physically demaning or heavy - but it´s good if you like to get your hands into natural tasks! :D
  
  I am aiming to build a platform for my yurt soon as well, so if you like carpentry, thats awesome!
  
  It´s very cool if you also like to create food!! Mostly organic and vegan / vegetarian foor is available - it is local when ever possible. The lake close by has plenty of fish, if you like to go fishing. I have gear and a canoa.
  
  I am quite flexible with things, and yet I expect you to also take part to the daily tasks, like cooking and cleaning, which are not part of the helping hours. Some poeple like to count hours, some just like to join the daily flow. What ever is your style, open communication about your needs, plans and ways to help and what you wanna do outside the helping time as well as what ever needs to be said, is highly welcome and encouraged here. If you find it challenging to communicate about something, please let me know and I´ll support you. Here we always wanna know what´s true for you, and it is safe to share your needs.
  
  Depending on the time you come, you will get your own ancient, yet modern logghouse cabin or the cozy and warm belltent depending on availability. We are living in the tinyhouse. Usually cooking for all happens in the logghouse, cause it has running water and fridge. Breakfast we sometimes like to take as familytime especially when my child is here and eat in our own hutamd you can also start your day in your own way and have breakfast your style. If you meditate or do yoga, we can share some morning practise.
  
  It is good idea to come with woolen underwear, especially in the winter, but I wear that stuff all year around, except June - July - August, can daytimes go witout. Also woolen socks and a woolen jumper can come handy also in the summer.
  
  Bring your own working clothes. I give you working gloves.

  Unterkunft

  Usually you can stay in the main cottage. There is a double bed upstairs and 120cm bed downstairs. It is one big space with a upper loft, so there are no private rooms. Kitchen is in the same space. We all use the kitchen, but mostly the house is yours.
  
  If you like to sleep outside, you can sleep in a hammoc or in a tent (Bring your gear). Here is super lovely to sleep outside! Very peaceful!
  
  Sometimes it might be that we have another helper (if you also come alone) and in that case you can share the house. Let me know in advace wether you would prefere to share it with someone else or would appreciate more your own space. If you come as a couple or two friends, then I dont take other helpers at the same time.
  
  We don´t have a regular shower or bathroom - only outhouse drytoilet (soon a brand new one!) and camping shower that can be used outside. Of course we also have a sauna now that is the best way to get clean and the lake is just 5 min walk away. Please note this, cause this is not for everyone, but absolutely perfect for us and for anyone intereted in living more simply and sustainably and also an inspirations for those who might want to find more economic and ecological ways of living!
  
  Also please note that you cannot use chemical products here - things like deodorant, chemical shampoo, skincare, parfumes etc. I am very sensitive with smells and chemicals and cannot handle that stuff in the house.
  
  However you will get to use my selfmade shampoos and soaps and also natural skinlotion made by me and my daughter, so you don´t need to worry about those things!

  Was noch ...

  This area is really the best of Finland - I would say! There are a lot of interesting people around - mostly families with school age or younger children. There are some get togethers in the village every now and then. This is just 1h busride away form Helsinki and Turku also - so you can get here very easily both from ferries to Turku or Helsinki or the airport.
  
  You can go paddle on the lake, which is just 5 minutes walk away, swim in the lake, wander in the forest, enjoy nature and silence, play sacred songs with us, enjoy fire and light nights.
