Our
Story
Get to Know Us
In 2022 I got ill. I had worked many years as a teacher and had pushed my limits too long.
In my sick leave I signed up for a class in art therapy.
At last I could allow myself to feel, breath and create.
This year I got a vision: I was going to buy a house at a peaceful and beautiful place. I deeply felt that this would be what I needed:
A breathing space.
One day in January 2025 I found an announcement at Facebook, and in March I and my loving husband Svein became owners of the peaceful place called Torpet.
Torpet is for sure a breathing space. For us,- and for all of you who need a place to come to feel, create and breath.
We are looking forward to seeing you here at Torpet:
Your breathing space.
