  Description

  My name is André, I am living in Denmark for eight years, last months also with my girlfriend Maria, who is an artist and run drawing retreats here. I am also an engineer with a corporate job on the daily basis, yet very connect to nature.
  
  We love to get things done in harmony and beauty, to laugh, cook healthy vegetarian meals. And I am particularly fond of yoga and meditation, so if you enjoy it too, you will probably notice that it has great conditions for your sadhana/mindfulness/yoga/exercise sessions in the house or sorroundings 🙌🏼
  
  The place allows you to connect with nature while nurturing the forests, seeing the wildlife (dears, hares, birds). Workwise you can expect to be connected to gardening, to help keeping the forest healthy (strong focus this spring), possibly plant trees, flowers and take part in many other activities needed to keep the place - such as building planters, cleaning, cooking and alike. Heavier DIY work normally is done during weekends, when I am not at work.
  
  You will very likely also participate in the planning and preparation of food, which we prefer to enjoy together, early dinners together at 17:30. And you are expected to actively help our maintaining of the place as organized and clean as possible as often there are rooms rented in booking.com to help covering bills 💪🏼🙏🏼
  
  There are two houses in a 3 hectare piece of land with two forests of one hectare each in it. It is located about one hour west from Copenhagen, about 20 to Kalundborg and around 15min by car to beaches. And we can give you hints on what to explore nearby if you would like to, normally easier by car, but we also have one bike to borrow if you need.
  
  The main house has 5 rooms where you can stay comfortably and have your privacy when working away. This is the place where we eventually have paying guests, who also enjoy their privacy and silence. Being silent and tidy is quite important. In selected weekends we my host retreats, that also require a certain reservation and privacy - but that of course will talk and agree on that beforehand.
  
  Worth mentioning that the place is smoke free, and almost alcohol free as well :)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Benefits are many... depending on your needs, focus, abilities and interests of course :)
  
  First there is the place in itself. If you want to experience Danish hygge.
  The forest allows contemplation and mindful work. Learn about the plants and scene of the Danish nature.
  
  You will definitely be able to have time for your self, if you want to work away (remotely), retreat yourself a bit, read, write.
  
  Third, there is some quite nice cultural exchange and language aspect (Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, English, Danish), which include also some aspects of food, in particular vegetarian/vegan (good) recipes. If this is an aspiration or ambition of yours, you will definitely be able to learn on this area.
  
  Lastly, the place is designed to provide conditions for well being. Meditation is held regularly and there is enough fitness gears for crossfit-like work outs if you are up for it!

  Hébergement

  The main house has 5 rooms with option for single or double beds. So you can count on an individual nice room for yourself or if into nature, also can pick a tent in the garden or in the forest, closer to the dears.
  
  Something important is that there is no meat consumption in the house, we would like to keep it this way (in the house). But worry not, the nutrition needs, with good flavours, is granted :)

  Autres infos...

  This is about 1h far from Copenhagen by car, about 1.5h by train, so definitely enables planned tourism there and enjoy the cultural aspects of the Scandinavian capital.
  
  On your time off you have the nature around to yourself. There is plenty of places for a good hike. Or just sit and observe the hares and dear - for some they don't show, for others they can come quite near by 😊
  
  During fall and winter, you can light the fireplace in the main room. A bicycle is available to enable to moving around (use of the car can be discussed).
  
  Regular meditation practice is held, you are more then welcome to join. A few books in the house as well - feel free to read them :)
  
  There is a beach about 15 minutes drive - not sure by bike. And about 15 min by bike you have the station with an hourly train to Copenhagen.
  
  The whole experience of being here is based on trust, respect, joy and care. This is the main foundation.
