Description
Staying with us in our old farm you can enjoy Swedens most famous nature with lakes, forests, mountains, calmness and still some summerlight nights.
We live here with our 4 cats, always poking around the garden, the green house and teach yoga and meditation to people.
Our old farm i located in the middle of silent nature by the lake, mountains, forests, wildlife and in Southern Sapmi, the land of the indigenous people of Scandinavia (Jämtland). We moved to this far out countryside in 2016 longing for and finding nature, silence, fresh air and the best place to be.
Because of our cats you unfortunately can't bring your dog to our place.
We eat vegetarian organic food prepared together with love and respect. We do excursions or show you where to explore the wild nature nearby and visit old cultural places in the area, i e carvings from 5-8000 years ago.
There is possibility to join yogaclasses, gongsessions, mantrachanting, meditation, fascial maneuvers sessions and sauna as our guest of honour.
Our workawayers are not working in the Retreat Center/with paid guests and spaces
The farm is located 20 km from the nearest foodstore, 80 km to the big city where you will find all you need included an adventurous open air museum (Jamtli) and shops, railway station, busstation and airport. There is a bus going into the city with a few departures per day. Pick up from the railway station or airport can be arranged.
