    Dear fellow adventurers 🙏

    We warmly invite you to our vision of a life not separated from ourselves, each other and nature...
    Where we together create a responsible & playful environment we want to live, work, learn, thrive and grow in.
    We are privileged to live in one of the most free countries in the world, with amazing suroundings blessed with 4 very different seasons.
    These seasons have its unique qualities as well as possibilities, challenges and tasks.

    In spring there are amazing opportunities to dig in to the various outside projects and make ready before summer
    As we are currently expanding our vision with a large retreatcenter as the new "heart" of the place, the land around it is "under construction" - meaning we will soon create and maintain the magical garden we have envisioned from scratch.

    Here you will be part of an international team of volunteers - sometimes a larger group and some times smaller, depending on the season as well as activities and current needs of the center.

    You will have an amazing time here with lakes, nature, reconnecting and detox in a great home.

    Your tasks will be very diverse. It includes both indoor & outdoor work, we follow the weather to make it a nice experience for you. Some easy and some requires more adept knowledge...

    Presentation:

    My name is Ludde and I live in a beautiful countryside farm/community together with my amazing 5 year old daughters Milou and 17 year old Sienna.

    Our neighbour is a big horse stable so there are a lot of Icelandic horses surrounding the houses.

    At this point lots of things inside needs attention - we are painting, repairing, fixing, sewing and nourishing the houses. We also need some extra help with technical stuff sometimes.

    About our place:
    We have been renovating and preserving the houses and garden the last decade. The garden is a flowery haven with lots of small "rooms", allowing both interaction and privacy. The houses is designed for many people to be able to stay over. We sometimes create communal living weekends where we live, cook, eat, meditate, do yoga, play, dance and do everything together in a nice and harmonious flow.
    Our main objective is to host retreats with a focus on personal development as well as wellness.
    When we have retreats, parts of the land will be off limit but there is plenty of space to be in anyway.
    We are only 30 minutes with car from Stockholm city center, about 1 hour with public transport, which means you'll be able to combine city life with natures silence and peacefulness.

    The farm is today centered around a communial house (the Temple) and the new big retreat center, were we usually Meditate, share, dance, yoga, play and watch movies on the large cinema screen.
    Life here is a combination of peacefulness and full action...

    At this point we are specifically looking for people that have some kind of experience of carpentry and planting.
    Drivers license is important but not mandatory.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    Talk soon...

    Help

    The main help required is maintenance and handy projects as:
    - creating stone roads
    - ceremonial fireplace
    - creating a healthy grass lawn
    - repainting the houses
    - look after the garden which constantly needs a hand with lawn mowing, weeding, watering
    - constructing a place where all wood of it can be stored
    - cutting down busches
    - support with maintenance in the houses.
    Some other help around the house with cooking, cleaning and laundry would be appreciated as well. We can share cooking, however if you are skilled in that, I would be more than happy to leave more room for that quality. We eat gluten free and slowly transferring into vegetarian/vegan food.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There's wifi in the house, which you're free to use when you're not working. Down by the lake you can go swimming and we sometimes enjoy the sauna there. There are beautiful forests you can walk in, and if season there's plenty of berries and mushrooms to pick.

    You are a bit remote out here (which is the whole idea) but there's a bus leaving about 1 km away, taking you to Tumba's commuter train station, which takes you to Stockholm City, if you want to go more Urban on your days off. The whole ride with bus and commuter train takes about 1 hour. Also there is an extra car that can be used to get to Tumba and run errands as necessary.
