Detalhes
Descrição
We're two artists, Dennis & Ayet. We enjoy freeganism (not to be confused with veganism), like dumpsterdiving and we recycle and reclaim as much as we can. In 2009 Dennis was a volunteer at the Lammas Eco village in Wales and worked closely with Simon Dale who inspired him to live alternatively. Ayet finds a lot of joy in creating art with natural materials and gets her inspiration from this place and its surroundings.
We have a vegetable garden and several small natural houses, such as a Treehouse, the Sculptured House and the Bird's House. We built a small outdoor art studio, a small sauna and we have turned the workshop into a meeting area. For 2024 we plan to build a small natural building, work in the gardens, pick berries and mushrooms. We have also started a new exciting international initiative in which we work with people who want to start and live in eco-communties in our area. If your dream is to move to Sweden and live in a newly created small community, together with other growing communities, another reason to contact us!Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

We can teach building skills and how to grow and make certain food/drinks. You can join us on dumpsterdive trips. We have a large library with 95% English books. Plenty of practice in English conversations, about authentic life and everything that is connected to it.
Ajuda
We need help with the vegetable garden, weeding, constructing and maintaining of small natural buildings. Help with cooking is optional ;) No experience is needed. We're not looking for experts. If anti-consumerism, autonomy, authentic living and creativity is something that you connect with, feel free to contact us. If you do write us, please don't write one or a few sentences but write about who you are, why you choose us and what your expectations and ambitions are, for example. If you tell us that you're interested in sustainability and you come by plane, we're not going to take you serious. If you feel consumerism has gone out of control but still expect to have a warm shower every day or every second day, this is not the right place for you. We have to clarify that we don't check how often you shower and that warm showers is what we have.

I would like to share with you some words about my two months stay here.

Thank you so much for making it possible for me to stay so spontaneously.
