    Hello my friend

    My name is Anders, and I sometimes make use of this rural place located in an area of Denmark called Falster, which is just south of the island Sjælland and close to Germany. The closest small towns is called Meelse and Halskov. Here I manage a house for some friends, mostly in the winter season. I live a somewhat alternative lifestyle, traveling almost like a hermit with the world as my home :) I usually live in another area of Denmark in the summer months, and sometimes I stay in meditation schools or other places that I find interesting and meaningful. The house here is located right next to a forest called "Fortidsminde", and you will only have to walk or bike a few meters more to enter another big forest, located all along the coastline in this area and right next to the ocean. Such a nice area for walking and spending time in nature. Around 4 kilometers away, you have a small local organic vegetable shop, with locally grown good stuff to add to the kitchen. I personally prefer quite simple and organic plant based food, but I am sure we will find a common ground or maybe eat a few things separate. Although you will have to live without eggs and meat while staying here. I don't have many expectations when it comes to the actual "work" to be honest. I do hope that people are interested in learning about themselves, and maybe seeing karma yoga, seva or volunteering as a natural part of that. Or in other words, I hope that we have fun and enjoy ourselves in whatever we decide to do, and that the line between working and not working will blend and blur. But having to officially write something, and putting things into boxes, I guess we can sort of agree on 3-4 hours a day, 5 times a week :) First and foremost, I simply want to create opportunities for all of us to grow and get a deeper understanding of ourselves. I feel like coming together in communities has a lot of value, with opportunity to mirror and learn a lot, even in shorter amounts of time. In terms of work it can be anything to do with the farm. One of the owners is very knowledgeable when it comes to permaculture, and so preparing the garden with these principles in mind could be a task for sure. I would also love to attract and welcome people interested in meditation in one way or another; to facilitate space for those already practicing, but also to help and support anyone that would like to learn more about it.

    There is a very nice ping pong table in the barn! :) there is a good and stable internet connection, if you have other projects to manage for example. Although I enjoy a very social community vibe setting when I have visitors, you will of course have plenty of time to explore or relax on your own as well if you prefer. I can offer 3 yoga / meditation sessions a day (if you want to join). Loud speakers for any kind of dancing, if interested. Board games. Social conversation. Social stillness.

    There is a small car we can use for emergencies, or for picking you up at the local railway station for example. That being said, I also enjoy showing people around on the island by car sometimes :)

    The closest big city is called Nykøbing Falster and is located around 17 km. away from here. If needed, I can pick you up from there when arriving and drive you back when leaving. I know there's a bus driving quite close to here as well, but I don't really mind either way.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

    Best regards (peace and love),

    Anders

    Learning is everywhere, all the time. Lets be aware of that together. But yeah.. people visiting here can improve on their English and learn Danish words. Learn about classical hatha yoga, meditation and health. Improve on their social skills.

    For any questions, please get in contact with me. I will try and add photos of some of the rooms and stuff. Overall, you can say that it is a renovated house, and that general comfort will not be an issue, although the place could overall still be considered a bit primitive for some :) There are at least one completely private room available. I usually stay in the other private room, that is a bit colder this time of year than the other spaces in the house. And then there are two beds standing in the main living room area, warm and cosy with the main heat sources right next to them. Contact me, and we will make arrangements so that everyone is happy :)
