And the question of whether it is possible to be an entrepreneur and still believe that our resources are limited? I’ve been pondering this for a long time and always been fascinated by how differently people relate to resources. When I was little, I didn’t experience the feeling of lacking anything, even though the sky-high interest rates in the late 80s were an economic reality that I never had to worry about.
This morning I started the day by writing. I am a natural early bird and most days I wake up long before the rest of the house. This day I had decided to finish this letter to you.
Today started with a meeting being cancelled, which created a bit of free time in my day, and instead of rushing off, I found a spot in the sun on a bench on the way back from nursery and listened to a podcast.
This Thursday, we are once again inviting everyone to gather around the long table at Losæter. This time, to honour everyone who, in their own way, has left their mark—big or small—on the co-creation of this place, which has evolved into so much more than just a location. It feels a bit as if the grassroots installed a magnet that pulls right at the hearts of those who truly care, are curious, and wish to understand, and that this force doesn't let go easily.
At this very moment, I am sitting in a packed café, while outside it is pouring down. The summer holidays were suddenly over; emails have started ticking in, and tasks suddenly have a deadline approaching. This summer, I have truly unplugged, given myself a proper break from everything, limited input and noise like news, social media, and mobile scrolling. We have worked both physically with restoration, carpentry and painting, made beds, and communicated with guests. But I have been very selective about what kind of input I wanted to take in.
Lately, I have been working on creating two collections for everyone behind the Future Library in Oslo. It has been an incredibly honourable assignment. To be allowed to dive into work with so much love, and to give care and love back to those behind it, is one of the finest invitations we have received this year.
Field notes from the process with us in Food Studio & Future Library. It has been a long time since I have felt that I could say "we" in Food Studio. There have been many years where I have steered the ship alone, cut costs down to a minimum and only said yes to commissions I knew I could deliver on my own.

Riter ILD
It is from this period that we find many similarities between Norse and Sámi practices here in the North, but also parallels if you look at Vedic practice in India or Shinto in Japan. Together we wish to explore this question; "What function did rites have in society, and how can we today reclaim these in a meaningful way, one that is religion-neutral and speaks to the diversity that the community of this place represents today?"
