What we do

A small scale farm close to the sea on the Swedish west coast. At the end of a road, with a big forest in the back.
Aiming for self-sufficiency by permaculture farming. Hens, bees, sheep, ducks, dog, cat. It’s not aiming for a village (yet), more of a main house and small one-room satellite houses around it. Small off the grid, low impact, low standard houses, tiny houses. 12 hectares. 1 hectare for animals, 1 hectare for farming, the rest for recreation and firewood and building material.
We focus on water, food, shelter, warmth, building (with natural material), sewage (dry toilets).
We are attached to Erasmusplus, ESC, WWOOF and Couchsurfing. In the summertime there is a lot of visitors doing adventure activities and some yoga. Some 30+ people here.
We are looking for volunteers that would like to do an Erasmusplus/ESC volunteering (6-9 months)
A strict no-drug policy. Not even smokers of nicotine are welcome. We try to eat less sugar, avoid carrying and staring into mobiles.
We are not so “hippie-peace-love and understanding”, more like green entrepreneurs.
Hästekasen is preparing for potential collapses in economy, ecology, “energy”. Hard work is needed, more producing, less consuming.
We eat some meat, but only if it is home slaughtered. We are mostly atheists. We like nature, our own music, sport/yoga, handicraft.
We are currently saving money to be able to buy neighboring land and expand, but it is an expensive area due to proximity to the sea.
We have got a few huts for rent.

Introductorio DRAGON DREAMING

El Dragon Dreaming es “una filosofía de diseño integral que toma en cuenta la sostenibilidad en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas”: John Croft, co-fundador del Dragon Dreaming. Es una herramienta para conseguir construir empresas y proyectos resilientes e inspiradores que hagan realidad los sueños y favorezcan una cultura más sostenible y humana. De esta manera, Dragon Dreaming se puede aplicar a fines diversos, tanto para el emprendimiento de un proyecto, la creación de nuevos servicios y productos o la implementación de cambios estructurales y de visión dentro de una organización. Este taller está dirigido a proyectos y redes comunitarias de acción social, permacultural, apoyo mutuo, economía alternativa; asociaciones y grupos de ámbito social o educativo, a familias interesadas en crear proyectos grupales de educación respetuosa, a personas interesadas en el diseño holístico, participativo y colaborativo de proyectos sociales… Pincha en el link suguiente para saber más sobre la filosofía del Dragon Dreaming y inscribirte en el taller de Sevilla: http://www.molinodeguadalmesi.com/index.php/dragon-dreaming/talleres-dd/… Para participar: Queremos promover otro modo de economía, por eso el taller se financia por el método de economía consciente. Primero es necesario hacer una reserva de plaza aportando 20 Euros Tras el taller hacer la aportación por la cantidad que conscientemente consideras que vale, que cuesta y que puedes. Con carácter orientativo cosideramos que un mínimo de valor razonable estaría en torno a los 50 euros (reserva aparte).
