Description
Welcome!!
Hello,
We would appreciate your help with chopping wood, gardening and painting. We will also begin a project of renovating part of a barn. It would be great if you are a carpenter but not essential.
We are situated between Karlstad and Filipstad in a beautiful forest with wandering trails some of which lead to the long beach at lake Mangen.
We need help from 2-4 volunteers.
Chopping wood
Painting,
Carpentry
Gardening
5 hours in exchange for 3 vegetarian (organic where possible) meals per day. Also, I have been guiding meditation for years if you are interested I would be happy to guide you.
Note : please let me know in you email request if you like to work slowly.
Mangen beach is a 1.8 km walk through the forest and a sea of blueberries! There's a campground and a shop with ice cream and snacks. It's a popular beach but you can walk to the ends to find secluded spots.
Karlstad is 45 km away, my son goes to school there, bus 400 takes 50 mins
Molkom is 10km supermarket, health clinic (vård central), restaurants, beach.
Lindfors has a great pizza restaurant/bar but nothing else 2km
Filipstad is 20km
This is a beautiful place for hikes and lake swimming 6km
Take 400 bus from Karlstad or Filipstad. Nearest airport Karlstad has very few flights. I use Örebro (100km) or Gothenburg (Goteburg in Swedish 250km)
Volunteers make their own way to Källorna and I can collect you from the 400 bus stop.
No one works on days off, I don't provide food but you are welcome to bring your own and use the kitchen.
