About the project

ESC: Natural Life & High Thinking: Meeting the needs of body, mind & soul.

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

You will learn direct ways to provide for the needs of your body, mind and soul. The learning experience includes knowing how to grow your own food, arrange your own shelter, make your own clothes and household paraphernalia and produce your own energy. It also includes discovering your individual ways to learn, your personal character strengths and the character of your unique spiritual self. You will learn the ancient art of mantra meditation, and learn from the Vedic knowledge about reincarnation and the purpose of existence.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be sharing living space with other volunteers, staying in double or single room facilities. The location has shared bathrooms, hot water and WiFi. Vegan/vegetarian breakfast and lunch are served and taken together, while an evening meal is available when you want in the evening. Around five minutes minutes walk from the farm there are several buses free of charge on weekdays to the nearest town (2-3 connections in the weekends), from where you can easily travel cities around, like Malmö, Lund, Copenhagen and Ystad.
