Description
20 years ago I moved from Germany to Sweden, working as a doctor. My family has gone their own ways, and now I try to realize a dream: to create a place were I and other people can meet nature, eachother and, of course, me. I bought a minor cottage out in the forests in between Herrljunga, Ulricehamn and Borås, started with reconstruction - and suddently needed medical help myself....
So: if You are interested to create a meeting place out in nature, a place for retreat, a place for meditation, a place to find yourself! Wellcome!
Bed and food is free , but I even can imagine to pay a minor salary.
Work to be done: wood works in general, painting, but even creating a garden...
English, german and swedish works fine!

Help
I am not and proffesional building expert and I dont expect this from You either. But some expierience from bulidning projects is a clear advantage. All buildings are traditional swedish wooden constructions, >100 years old and so most of the work is woodwork or connected to it.
The garden I want to start is thought as a "permaculture gardening".

Accommodation
A room for yourself with a normal standart, or a own small "house" (guesthouse). You will share my food, and I am flexible: so if you have special requests or allergies or just dont like certain food, should not ve a problem. Because next store is about 8km away there is a well filled storage...
What else ...
