Are you looking for an adventure, beautiful nature and some important work?
We’ve taken on a remote 100-acre forest farm in Northern Sweden where we have initiated a rewilding/retreat centre and possibly potentially an off-grid community in the longer-term future. We are at the birthing stage of the project. Ask us for our website link
Accommodation is in a guest cottage or main house with a kitchen and lounge area, walking distance to a vast, beautiful lake for wild swimming (or in winter, ice-baths!), mountain walks (and ski-ing) and stunning forest on the doorstep. We can also accommodate anyone who may wish to come in a live-in vehicle or camp.
We are friendly, happy to share our experience and activities, good food and chats around the fire outside. We like to welcome adaptable, conscientious people who enjoy wild nature, good conversations, healthy food and an interest in community living.
This is a remote place! We can offer transport to/from the nearest big town, which is Östersund. There are no shops or services close by, but there is a hotel with a bar/restaurant and a campsite with a ski slope/bike park.
Accommodation and food will be provided in exchange for 20-25 hours a week per person, and you will have the chance to immerse yourself in the beautiful local landscape.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We offer english conversation and shared meals together. Usually we are hosting a group of volunteers and support you with skills to collaborate well together. You'll learn about our emerging land-based resilience project and be able to support the development from these early stages. We are based in a remote and small mountain community in sweden and sometimes help with local neighbourhood projects too, so you may have the opportunity to help out in our wider community.

UPdate for December 2025-
We are looking for 2 people to support a 5 day retreat - involves cooking (following recipes), keeping fires lit, cleaning and being all round angels - suit 2 friends or a couple.

Particularly useful skills:
- Carpentry
- Painting & Decorating
- Forestry
- General Building

Our second longest Workaway project, and our 19th, by the way. We spent 31 nights at this beautiful place, and it was definitely not enough.
