  Description

  Hi!
  
  About us:
  We are a mum and a 10 year old girl, which im home(un)schooling /worldschooling. We are into sustainability and community living. As much as possible we try to tread gently on the earth and work in harmony and communicate with compassion. I am also a clown, yoga teacher and a regenerative practitioner and im looking for ways to have some time to work on projects, i am also very happy to talk about this if you are interested 🌞🌏🥳
  
  My daughter is fluent in english and has a social energy. At the moment she is planning to become a dog hotel owner and has been loving making puppet theatre videos 😅 She is easy going and fun to be with. My parents live in the neighbour house.
  
  We also love having visitors and people can spontaneously pop in for a stay. We dont always know what tomorrow brings, but are open to life and the magic that happens 🥰
  
  About the place:
  
  We are stewards of this place for a short time until next generation takes over.. We aim to play our role to care for everything that lives here.
  
  Oue mountain is Lihesten, with spectacular views and gives the water and soil copious amounts of minerals and protects us from some of the winds, the water connects to the Lifjord which is an arm of the Sognefjord- going into the North Sea/ Norwegian Sea. We are nested in the municipality of Hyllestad (which is 2,5 hrs north of Bergen) and the greater area of Vestland (west coast Norway).
  It is rural for sure- beautiful hiking opportunities to the mountains around and also a fjord to look out on and a little boat and a kayak that we can use in the summer time...
  
  It is good if you love nature and being in nature.. that you enjoy the beauty of birdsong and wind in the trees.. and west-coast Norway unpredictable weather - it is important that you are comfortable with your own company, can communicate your needs and make yourself feel at home so we know you have a great stay!
  
  
  The main contribution that we would like at this stage is child-care, housework maintenance and work on the land.. And a likeminded friend :) ...its a bonus if you play an instrument, we have some here!
  
  This is a place to practice a playful way of being, to be in service to the whole living system, meditate and bring joy and nourishment into the world!
  
  Impromptu dancing and silliness may happen!
  
  If you have handy skills we love it!
  
  You are welcome as you are and also contribute what brings you joy.. (eventhough sometimes the tasks are mundane.. We try to figure out what you would like to do of what needs to be done)
  We are all learners and in development. So perfection of anything is not expected. We do our best, reflect and look for new ways.
  
  
  We could accept a family coming too..
  
  
  So if this sounds like it will suit you please get in touch!!
