Friskeröd Academy: International courses in empathic interbeing
The are two international on site courses in 2024.
One in May, which is now completed. And one in September 8-17 in Tanumshede, Sweden (about 2 hours drive from Gothenborg).
If you are interested in participating, please send a personal letter to ecajsdotter@yahoo.com where you describe a little bit about yourself and why you are interested in this work. The admission process is done through the horses and other animals. As soon as we know anything more, we will let you know.
Contents of the course, general guidelines:
Day 1. Arriving and settling in from mid-day and on. Spending time just being together with other species. In the evening we gather for a shared meal and storytelling.
Day 2. Different exercises in finding and opening up the self for empathic communication. A walk in nature will be included.
Day 3. We learn more about the concept of non-hierarchal interbeing from different species. The teachings of the Jordanian, Hashemite horses are included in all the work.
Day 4. In order to receive something, we practice giving. This day is free of studies in order to digest what we have experienced so far. The day is spent helping out at the farm, and the duties are guided by what the animals wants us to do for them and the place.
Day 5. Rosen inspired therapy, meeting the essence of the other one. We learn more about how we can help animals suffering from trauma.
Day 6. The basis of riding horses, according to the principle of Mio.
Day 7. A day by the ocean, meeting different species. We visit the nature reserve Tjurepannan where we focus on water and dissolving the concept of linear time.
Day 8. This day we meet and work with plants. We also help out at the farm with whatever is needed.
Day 9. Today we learn more about micro movements and communicating through an enhanced body awareness.
Day 10. Contemplation, practicing gratefulness together with the animals, plants and forest. We finish around lunch time.
The cost for this course in 2024 is approximately 15.000 SEK (USD 1500). In 2025 the fee will be raised to 18.000 SEK (USD 1.800).
Food and accommodation is included in the prize, but no travel expenses.

Friskeröd Academy: Celeste's land management course
The purpose of this course is to help recreate the relationship between humans and the rest of creation. So that we may be part of the same web of interbeing as all other species seem to be.
The course is designed by the grazing planning horse Celeste.
We meet 8 times throughout the year.
You take part of the classes via Zoom at 10.00 AM - 2.00 PM CET, all classes will be recorded. (The time might be variable slightly depending on the countries of the participants).
The price is 4 000 SEK for the whole course, it is also possible to pay 500 SEK per class (8 classes).
If you are interested, send an e-mail to ecajsdotter@yahoo.com Celeste will go through all the applications.
For 2025 the dates are: 2/2, 2/3, 13/4, 11/5, 6/7, 3/8, 28/9, 23/11.
2024 dates:
Day 1, 23/2. The relationship with water. In Sweden some water is frozen now, and it is still too early to awaken the memory of the life to come in springtime. it gives us time to practice finding the contact with water inside and outside of ourselves.
Day 2, 22/3. The awakening of springtime. The water moving and the memory of the individual is brought back to life. For those who are not in the northern hemisphere, awakening is still happening throughout the growing seasons.
Day 3, 3/5. Growth and development of the uniqueness of the individual. Grazing as part of that growing process. How can we enhance the growth and development of each other?
Day 4, 7/6. Microbes and mycelia. The practice of empathic communication with entities that are less separated. Aiming to find the instinctive knowledge of interbeing.
Day 5, 19/7. Coming into full bloom. Reaching the peak of growth on many levels. And how that may affect the grazing planning for the rest of the season.
Day 6, 6/9. The development of seeds. What happens to consciousness when the individual plant splits into seeds, or when the roots grow to give space for more than one plant body? How does this season affect the grazing and the relationship between plants and grazing animals.
Day 7, 18/10. The transformation of vital energy moving from the upper parts to the roots. The grazing habits as well as the movement changes now. How to maintain and store vital energy for the coming winter.
Day 8, 29/11. The final part of the grazing season (in the northern hemisphere). Our role as humans in a wider perspective. How can we be part of an empathic interbeing? Closing the circle and gently move the water within and without.
If a student begins online, later on, the best might be to begin in late winter - whenever that occurs in that part of the world.
