    Description

    Hello! Me and my family are in the process of building a new guesthouse next to our country house in the archipelago of Stockholm, Sweden. We have two small houses (one where you can stay) and one yogashala house on our property. Except the new house, we are also in the process of preparing the retreat center for retreats. This includes different tasks, like organizing stuff, cleaning, repainting, planting etc.

    During the summers we use it as a retreat centre and family summer house. Me, Sofia, also teach some drop in yoga classes (you are welcome to join).

    Exchange: You'll get your a place to stay, all meals of course! Max 5 hours of help with preparation & some breaks included in that time;) We are pretty flexible with our schedule. Check our reviews to get a clearer picture of this place and us!


    In need of workawayers from 9th to 29th of June. Any length of time works!

    In you message to us:
    - Write shortly about you. (We would like to match well with the persons that comes here, since we live together a bit like a family and eat/cook together and so on)
    - Any previous experience that could benefit us here (construction building, cooking, planting, organizing, childcare etc.).
    - Your preferred dates? (arrival+departure or flexible)


    Hope to hear from you! I'll answer as soon as I can!

We need an extra hand and would love to have someone here who would like to help in exchange for learning how to build stuff, getting healthy food cooked by us or together. All meals included.

    Accommodation

    All rooms are shared with one other person (of same sex), but depending on the number of workawayers you can get your own room.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    If you're from abroad Arlanda Airport is closest by for you to fly to. Let me know when you arrive and I can help you find a good bus to the retreat! The cheapest way is to travel by local transport: download the app called "SL" to see time schedule & prices. Our bus station station is called Glyxnäs (Norrtälje)

    On your free time you can go for walks in the forest or to the water. Go to the local cafe or another event happening on the island. Read a book, lie in the hammock, paint, bicycle making art etc.
