    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Work hard and play hard is the name of the game. As we embark on making this vision come to life we need people who share our level of ambition and have the right screws lose. We will try to create something that has never been done before and we need people who want to share this journey with us. It will be hard, fulfilling and filled with purpose. As hard as we work, we value days where we venture into nature to draw energy and inspiration. You can expect some wild ski tours, surf days, climbing adventures, hiking and camping under the midnight sun and swimming in freezing waters. We are building a creative space from scratch. so you can expect to be learning how to renovate a space, everything from the individual floors inside, creating a garden to helping build a new dock. You can also expect to be in the trenches with other hyper focused and creative doers that love to build the future.
