I am a woman at my best age living a simple life in the countryside of Denmark.
The place where I live is called Thylejren and here is a very brief description of it:
Thylejren (the Thy Camp) is a free place in the sense that it contains Life, displays Life, it's complications, it's developments. It's got space for odd characters, imaginative artists, caring mothers and fathers, shamans, horsewomen - and much more! It is both part of Denmark and the society we all are part of, and at the same time withdrawn from the unconscious consumer's race and "samtalekøkkenkultur"!
Thylejren is owned by the association "Det Ny Samfund" (The New Society), which is organized with the general meeting (every year at Aug. 21, 2 pm) as the highest authority, meaning there is no board, nor a chairman. Decisions are mostly taken in consensus, but voting can also occur.
Thylejren is a social experiment in it's 40'eth year!
The reasons why I chose to live here are legio, but most of all it's the personal freedom, which I can't find elsewhere in Denmark, that attracted me in the first place. Here I can express myself in any way I want to - and my neighbours will understand - or at least try to!
Furthermore the nature around here is the wildest and windiest in Denmark - and I love the wind in my hair!
The place also calls for spirituality, diversity and tolerance.
At the same time it's got the characteristics of a small village as well, gosipping about each other, caring for each other, and last, but not least, after living here for some years, it feels like a family!
