We are a couple in the middle of life, who a few years ago dropped out of the big city treadmill. We moved in 2011 from London to Hållnäs, with the ambition to, amongst other things, create a space for interdisciplinary meetings and creative research close to nature. Here is a little bit of information about us as individuals:

Alex Peck has roots in the UK, a well-travelled chef, coach and former science teacher and classroom assistant with  broad experience of working with young people within the autistic spectrum, as well as in outdoor education. Alex is interested in gardening, sustainable development and resilience. instagram.com/alexofthenorthcoast
