We still have a car, electricity and internet access - but nature is more present and sometimes in control. 1) Resettle the countryside with farming hands. Manual labour (karma yoga) as a way to harmonic life. 2) Self sustainability through low scale ecological farming/forestry/animal products (mainly honey, hens and wool) 3) Courses/retreats with yoga, freediving, outdoor and adventure activities, farming. Personal development through activity. 4) Learning/knowledge/tradition. Finding and practicing skills from before the monoculture specialist farming. Use of permaculture principles. 5) The sea and the forest as places for recreation and rehabilitation and education. The experience of living close to nature.

Det finns olika skäl att söka sig till landet. En dragning till själva landet, naturen, djuren, odlingen, självhushållningen. Det finns ett värde i att för en kortare eller längre tid leva nära naturen i en icke urban miljö. Om man bortser från den rent visuella skillnaden där landet kännetecknas av färre fordon, färre byggnader och istället mer natur, så är den avgjort största skillnaden mellan staden och landet ljudnivån. I en stad finns ett bakgrundsbrus av trafik och fläktar. Där stiger och faller hela tiden ljudnivåen. Motorcyklar passerar, sirener passerar, tunga bussar dundrar förbi, byggnads- och gatuarbeten. Dessa ljud vänjer vi oss vid och märker till slut knappt. Vi kan blunda, men vi kan inte stänga öronen. Hörseln är vårt primära sinne för att upptäcka fara. Sinnet är kopplat till "kamp och flykt systemet" i vårt nervsystem. Den höga ljudnivån och de plöstliga ljuden skapar en underliggande stress, en ständig stress. I staden befinner vi oss ofta i "larmberedskap". Ljudnivån i staden döljer också naturliga ljud från naturen, eventuella djur och människors prat. Inte bara tystnaden försvinner, de små ljuden försvinner. |
