Description
Greetings! Welcome to our beautiful mini village in the middle of the forest in Sweden. We are a low EMF sanctuary, focusing in using technology mindfully and creating our own solutions for living more independently. We are also Amateur Mycologists (yes we love mushrooms) and research the subjects around the mycelium and its applications for decentralised living and harmony at an individual, group and network lvl.
Our property has a mini village vibe in the middle of the forest. We have a cafe area, dome, loft and different accommodations + our beloved greenhouse. The lake beach is only 5 minutes away and we love to go either for dips in the summer and the winter.
The forest is our teacher, this is where we learned the most in harmony with nature. Between May and November, we love to do foraging, mushrooms, berries, plants, herbs, etc.
We love to welcome people who are grounded in practical skills with a sense of aesthetics, who are on a personal development growth path and are curious about how to create a better world and want to connect with other people who feel the same way.
In 2025 we need people supporting activities like cooking, gardening, maintenance of the property in general (paint, deck maintenance), repairs of handrails and repair the sauna. If you have a background in mindful practices and would like to share this is a plus as well.
We are fairly well coordinated and check in daily in the mornings during the week, we have a weekly review to discuss our projects. We make sure everyone here knows what is going on. We are normally between 2-6 people here, all focused on different work and projects. We communicate mainly using English, however other languages are also spoken here.
We have a policy of "no animal products" in the shared kitchen, but if someone wants to eat animal products they can do so in their own space. We also have a no WiFi policy but visitors can have adapters for their laptops and phone, this is a low EMF radiation area but we have super fast 1Gbps wired connections in all the spaces. We have an amazing Cafe area, Sauna, Jacuzzi, greenhouse and loft area. No matter what your personal activities are besides being a workawayer here I’m sure you will feel at home.
We prefer if people can "own" their activity and be self-directed, while checking in with the rest of us at the regular meetings.
We do not have paying guests or sell services as a business. We are very passionate about developing a more balanced lifestyle and are very interested in cultural exchange with our guests.
The closest town is only 15 minutes away and we travel several times in week. During the weekend we like to go on hiking excursions, visit neighbour communities, and study the mushrooms around the area.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Here you will meet interesting people and you can explore topics of independence, mindful technology, off grid living, decentralised software, online marketing. Also we can teach a lot around mushrooms, mycelium.
We are focused on learning and exploring how to build a decentralised settlement, so we have defined some structures and processes for creating agreements, coordinating, defining and doing the work, and checking in with each other regularly.
So if you want to learn about and contribute to these things, you will really like it here!
We also prepare and share whole food plant-based meals, so if you want to learn or express yourself in that way, that is also great.
You will also learn about life for settlers in the countryside who come from outside of Sweden - lessons learned, what to do in future.

Yard:
Maintenance / Gardening / Groundskeeping / Basic Construction / Firewood prep / Rubbish and recycling
Also great if you enjoy creating nice spaces, interior design or yoga and fitness.

Hébergement
We have various rooms available to people for long term or short term stays, from a cottage with bathroom, to smaller rooms with external bathrooms, there are lots of options. All rooms have at least a bed, desk / work area, and fast wired Internet connection.
Autres infos...
The area has lots of rivers and lakes and forests to explore. Several small cities in a radius of 15 to 60 minutes, with all the normal city life activities. It is rural and having a car will be an advantage, as there is no bus service, however occasional trips can be arranged with the host's car if needed.
We have here a nice Spa area, with a jacuzzi and a Sauna (we are rebuilding it from electrical to wood).
Cross-country is one of the activities we also like to do in the winter. We have all the equipment at home.
There is also an opportunity to teach yoga or any other group meeting or fitness class. We live next to the municipality events building, which can be booked and contains all the necessary facilities for someone that wants to take advantage of this.
Nature nearby provides rich opportunities for picking herbs, berries or mushrooms. It is gorgeous.
