Walkabout with Rupert Isaacsson and Emelie Cajsdotter
Right now plans are underway to create a shorter course together with the land, the horses, Rupert Isaacsson and Emelie Cajsdotter. Listen to the conversation between Warwick Schillers and Rupert Isaacsson here.
The idea is to let the land walk us and take part in Rupert Isaacsson's great experience of living together with indigenous peoples in an improvisatory collaboration with what is happening here.
The course starts from Surtung and will last for four intensive days (and nights). Storytelling, wandering and many empathic encounters across species. Expect that we will also (depending on the weather) sleep outside. The idea is that there should be ten places. Preliminary cost USD1200 for the course, food and accommodation included, travel and transport not included. Dates are not set but probably during midsummer week, so that we can experience the midsummer solstice together with the mountain on Surtung.
Interest should be sent to Emelie ecajsdotter@yahoo.com. Applications are reviewed by the mountain and nature at Surtung. The journey begins when we have a group. Which means that we will be in contact, for example, via Zoom already in the spring, as an ongoing adventure and preparation for the course days.
Friskeröd Academy: International courses in empathic interbeing
The are two international on site courses in 2025.
One in May 22-31. And one in September 1-10 in Tanumshede, Sweden (about 2 hours drive from Gothenborg). Both classes are open for students who will continue from last year. Some places are available for new students. We have already received a great interest for these courses, which we are very grateful for. As a complement we are also starting a online course this year.
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 2025 is approximately 18.000 SEK (USD 1800). Food and accommodation is included in the price, but no travel expenses. Options for individual payment plans are available, contact Emelie for.
We are happy to announce that Louise "Lulu" Lindroth caretaker of food and accommodation and holding the essence of the space will be part of both classes. We cannot do this without her!

Friskeröd Academy: Celeste's land management course
Celeste's land management course online turned out really well, many deep and profound processes began. This year we are moving Celeste international land management course to Sundays and changing the hours to make it more available for people around the world to participate.
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 2.00 PM - 6.00 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. 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. 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. 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. Microbes and mycelia. The practice of empathic communication with entities that are less separated. Aiming to find the instinctive knowledge of interbeing.
Day 5. 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. 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.
