Description
[ UPDATE: me and the animals are inviting people who want to share the beauty and cozyness of swedish autumn and winter with us. Still open for one more person from november -> onwards. ♡ ]
Hello my loves!
Welcome to a unique house in the southern Swedish countryside, surrounded by beautiful nature, lakes and forests.
My name is Sunniva and I live here along with some rescue animals: five cats, one dog and two horses. What I love spending my time on is vegetable growing, wild herbs and foraging, sustainability, spirituality, tantra, healing, dancing, consious relationships and communication, restoring old houses, sewing and other old school crafts.
My vision for this place is to create a small community, B&B and seminar/retreat center where people can come, reconnect, spend time in nature, do arts and crafts and just BE in a consiously nourishing space. Do you want to be part of this journey?
The help:
We (me and the animals:)) are inviting heart centered, empatic, animal loving people to come and spend time in this beautiful space. The *work meditation* consists of general maintanence around the farm and inside the house. For example cutting and chopping firewood, make fire in the wood boiler, gardening and preserving the harvest, animal care, fixing fences, cleaning and organizing, projects in the house and sometimes housesitting/petsitting. There is also plenty of time to enjoy the nature or have a cup of tea on the beautiful veranda.
I have my own business as a traditional carpenter/painter and I sometimes travel in my work. During these periods I need someone who can cover for me and help with the necessities around the farm, which includes hanging out with the animals and doing the daily animal chores, gardening, plant care and other tasks. A perfect chance to get a taste of this lifestyle, and at the same time (re)connect to nature, animals and yourself. ♡
You need to have a sence of responsibility and be comfortable with your own company. If everything flows it is possible to settle down for a longer period.
You get free accomodation with your own bedroom and three plantbased meals/day in exchange for ~20 h of work/week.
I hope this sounds interesting! If it does, please send me a personal message where you introduce yourself, your passions, when and for how long you would like to stay. Looking forward to hearing from you! -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love to connect with people from around the world and share experiences, dinners, laughters and languages. Being a host for many years now, I really enjoy the kind of friendships you can build when living and working together. I are happy to share my experiences from this lifestyle in areas such as permaculture, house care, traditional swedish painting and building techniques, animal friendly animal care :) and everything else that comes with living on the countryside close to nature.

What else ...
In your time off you can enjoy long walks in the forest, a bikeride, hang out with the animals or have a glass of wine on the veranda. In the house we also have lots of space for painting and other crafts. Or why not go for a swim in the nearby lake (3 km from the farm). By the lake there is a village with a little shop, an outdoor gym and a sauna that is open once a week. The public transport in the area is limited but excisting.
