Silence. Quiet time. Work spaces for writing, reflection and contemplation. Hiking trails. Saga, the pony. An empty space for meditation. // I invite you to set an intention for your stay, which may (but most certainly must not) involve dedicating time to a specific project, making an important decision, recharging, reconsidering or regaining something. // This is an open space in the middle of now-here, where you may rest, reflect and reconnect, to nature, your self and your purpose. // If needed, I offer philosophical guidance e.g. for clarity of thought in case you feel stuck or confused or face existential questions. (Consultations can take place for example during a walk in nature, at the kitchen table, or online – in case I am away, or as a preparation for or follow-up on your stay.) https://rentaphilosopher.se/english/consult.html Bookings available primarily for weekends, but sometimes longer stays up to 14 days are possible. In case you do not easily find available dates for a stay through the booking system at this site, email ida.hallgren (@) rentaphilosopher.se with your requested dates. Summertime the whole house with up to 7 beds or more may be available.
The space
The main guest room has two beds that may be placed together as a double bed or separated as single beds. There are also more beds in the house for extra guests if needed, e.g. a full writer's retreat can accommodate 5-7 guests with bed + work space.
The kitchen
Shared kitchen. There should be most everything you need there. There's even an old wood fired oven for bread making too.
I must figure out how to fix/change the kitchen fan. It's not a big nuisance with vegan cooking to lack a fan so I haven't got around to it...perhaps I have once you get here :-)
Other things to note
If I am around then there is a dog around as well.
During the summer it may be possible to rent the whole house with more than 5 beds.
Until I have had the chance to build a larger bathroom downstairs there is only one small shared bathroom in the house.

Valdemarsvik . Joined in October 2023
I was born in 1978, grew up on a small dairy farm in Sweden, turned vegetarian in my teens, and then mostly vegan after visiting the International Vegan Festival outside Melbourne in 1999. I work as an existentially oriented psychologist and a philosophical counselor. Been trying to finish my dissertation in philosophy.
Ida's property is located in Valdemarsvik, Småland, SE
