Edens Garden does have a new map feature….
Sometimes it is difficult to find us. Because Edens Garden is located on the rural county side despite our adres details. Even for the most smartest and most expensive gadgets, like iPhones with GPS TomTom and whatever, are we hard to find.
We do recommendate to use the traditional maps made of paper!
But for those who are addicted to electronical devices do we have a new feature.
We located Edens Garden for you on this map……: 
There is something special about the long Scandinavian summer evenings. Take an evening canoe tour in beautiful Svartådalen and you will see what we mean. No matter what the weather has been like through the day, the evening is often still and the waters tend to get calm.
This evening I did have the honor to guide guests from Switserland.

A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun. The duration of such transits is usually measured in hours (the transit of 2004 lasted six hours). A transit is similar to a solar eclipse by the Moon. While the diameter of Venus is more than 3 times that of the Moon, Venus appears smaller, and travels more slowly across the face of the Sun, because it is much farther away from Earth.
Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena.[1] They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years. The periodicity is a reflection of the fact that the orbital periods of Earth and Venus are close to 8:13 and 243:395 commensurabilities.[2][3]
The last transit of Venus was on 5 and 6 June 2012, and was the last Venus transit this century; the prior transit took place on 8 June 2004. The previous pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. After 2012, the next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125.
Dispite the thick clouds I managed to make a few pictures:
Yoga, spring time, cutting the grass and bachelor party ….
Yes! This week passed by like a fast train. In addition, we noticed no high speed and no stress at all. Which is an important feature for Edens Garden.
Time stands still and is an relieve for our guests. Peace, quietness, – and silence are key experiences.
During this week we received guests from England for a 5 day fully booked Yoga and Nature retrait under the guidance of Kari Knight. Between all the yoga practising was there time left for cycling trips to Svanå, Fläckebo and Skultuna. During a 2 hours meditation walk in Färnmansbo forests we saw fox, moose and elk! A canoe trip, guided by John, created great impression on Svartådalens beautiful natural environment. The good Swedish cook coffee from a open fire did make wonders happening! The sound meditation, with the Tibetan Singing Bowls, performed by Mandy gives a relaxation that passing all senses.
The beautiful Swedish spring weather did put the crown on this week! The booming of the blossoms-, insects buzzing and the lovely enchanting smell everywhere!
This weekend 14 guys visited us to celebrate a bachelor party with a two-day canoe trip. Leaving from Västerfärnabo and overnight at the half island called Brahe Holmen. Upon returning to Edens Garden we countered by 14 very happy guys who were quite lyrical about this “close to nature” canoe trip.
Between this all, there was time left for cutting the grass, cleaning the houses, and to receive new guests from Holland who celebrate an early holiday in Sweden.

Since Sunday we have a new family member….. a beautyful Golden Retriever puppy, named “Oda“.
The name is not selected by us. Eva, the owner of the kennel “Wood & Water“, gave this name already for this puppy, without knowing that the puppy would eventually end up with us. The name is perfect!!
