life is a neverending meditation if you allow it.
society should be a neverending circle 

our rural project

Norway may seem like a fairytale country. And it really is. Nevertheless we have 40 000 empty farmhouses. Villages die. The last 20 years 40 000 people have fled the countryside.

When you visit  us, you are not a tourist, you are a short term local. You inspire us just by walking past or giving us a smile on a rainy day. Because loneliness, depression and stagnation is the new illness of dying villages.  Digital Nomad societies in a vilage is the new hope, and it makes the houseowner able to keep the buildings. New genertions will probably value the resources we old farmers own, and new eyes telling us what we are set to forvalte, is the future. You are the future by being here. Now. Because if the houses are deserted and eventually demolished, moving back permanently one day will be impossible. Keep up the vibes of rural. Together.

our village project got this deserted schoolhouse in Bjørkedal for free. We are transforming it into a community house where nomads meet villagers, where young meet old where businesses meet housevives. We all have something to learn from each other. Sharing brings inspiration.
for the spring, summer and autumn of 2026 we will be so happy for any help. If you can spend 15 hours a week or more on the project we will need you as a workaway helper.

    How about going to the next level of possibilities in your digital nomad life.  We know by experience that after months and years on movement, it gets in your blood.  The travel, the wind in the sails.  The nomadic life is our ancient heritage.  We might be lonely wolfs, but we also need the tribe, the flock.

As humans, as nomads we are different personalities.  Some are more social than the rest of us who travel for the love of lone-ness.  But we all need the feeling of humans around us from time to time.  In Moritsgarden you have enough space to breathe inside a genuine society.  

A small, untamed coliving on Norway’s west coast — no bosses, few rules, big on care. Nestled beside a protected olivine  forest and centuries of boatbuilding craft, we blend regenerative travel with hands-on living: repair, build, create and appreciation of life, society, nature, selv. Daily life should consist of belonging, space and contentment. Let Bjørkedal tune you back to the pace of life, and by staying here, make this spot on earth richer than you found it.
