COURSES

For those who have not paddled very much or who strive to improve their knowledge in paddling, we arrange beginners courses in kayak paddling. We also offer excursions with combinations of paddling and meditation, paddling and massage, etcetera. For the coming year we are planning to start a canoe school for children between 10 and 12 years at Karlsnäsgården, where they can learn the basics of canoe paddling and camping. You are welcome to read more about each event by clicking on the links below.

Paddling & Meditation, date not set

Meet the contrasts between the motion of the paddling and the complete stillness of the meditation.

Zen meditation is also known as emptiness meditation and can be compared with practising to be present - to meet oneself here and now. It is normally practised seated on a pillow with crossed legs, but the most important is that one feels comfortable. The foundations of zen meditation is to sit absolutely still no matter what happens in the surroundings.

Three day kayak tour, 4-6/7 2012

Blekinge, that has been given the nickname "The Garden of Sweden", is a paradise for kayak paddlers. The landscape has a wonderfully nice archipelago with uncountable islands, islets and rocks. Here, the oaks grow in the waterline and gives shelter to other plants. The archipelago of Blekinge is sparingly inhabited, which gives freedom to camp and disembark wherever you feel like it.

We meet on the Wednesday at 9am in Järnavik at the youth hostel "Gula huset" (The Yellow House). The return is calculated to 5pm on the Friday.
