About the weekend

Every man carries his father in his body: the voice, the posture, the sentence he said often. By the fire on Friday we begin with our own fathers — what we got, and what we missed.

Saturday is about being a father and a role model: the young man who is watching you right now, a son, a nephew, an apprentice. And about the man who stood there instead, if your father was gone. On Sunday you write to your father. The letter can be sent, read aloud, burned or left in the drawer — all four are right.

The hands

Planting trees. You plant one you will sit under yourself in twenty years — or someone else will.

Saturday evening

On Saturday evening each man who wants to says one sentence his father said often — in his father's voice. It is simple, and it is enough.

The question to take home

What stops with me?

Before you come

Which sentence did your father say often?

How the weekend lies

Friday

You arrive between 2 and 4 pm and get a room. At 5 we sit in a circle, and at 9 we open the theme by the fire. Sauna for those who want it.

Saturday

Up at 7. A talk, then work until 2 pm. Two hours where you write, in silence. A walk to the sea, two by two. Dinner, and at 8 the evening's room.

Sunday

A silent walk, a short circle, and then we read out what you wrote on Saturday — anonymously, if you wish. A last talk, and at 4 the ferry leaves.

This weekend is best once you have been here before — start with The good argument, for instance.
