Planning for 2027 continues at Dalslands Studio
As mentioned in our last update in June, we intend to open Dalslands Studio 2027 to groups, families and individuals who wish to spend a few days or a week finding peace, reflecting and gaining new perspectives – in the heart of the Dalsland countryside, right by the water. Building on our previous experience with…
What else happenend in July?
Some visits feel as though no time has passed since the last one. That’s exactly how it was recently when our good friend Nadja popped round to our studio in Dalsland. Nadja is a documentary filmmaker and has been working for years for ARD, ZDF, NDR, SWR, ORF and ARTE – she has made a…
A neighbourhood party
Some celebrations in life clearly don’t need a specific occasion – the main thing is that there’s a good reason to celebrate. Our neighbour, a teacher of Swedish as a foreign language and a passionate accordion player, recently combined the two: her 75½th birthday and, belatedly, Midsummer. A wonderfully unpretentious combination – anyone who celebrates…
Canasta with stones – a game, a memory
What do you actually get up to when friends come to visit and the summer evenings stretch on so long that twilight can’t quite make up its mind? Here at Dalslands Studio, on evenings like these, we almost inevitably end up at the games table – sometimes with a new game that someone has just…
The new wooden sign at Lock 13
Anyone passing by our Lock 13 this summer will have noticed something new since July: a wooden sign pointing to dalslands-studio.eu. It’s clearly visible directly from the lock chamber – for anyone waiting there, marvelling at the view or simply taking a break – as well as for passengers on the Dalslandia and the Storholmen,…
Lock 13 – our window onto the Dalsland Canal
Right on the doorstep of Dalsland Studio, a small, unassuming structure has been doing its job for over 150 years: our lock. It forms part of the four-chamber lock staircase at Dals Långed, which raises or lowers boats over a height difference of 13.1 metres – the entire passage takes a full hour, roughly the…
The Disappearance of Bengt
There are ways of disappearing that go unnoticed for weeks – until suddenly there is a gap where something familiar used to stand. That is exactly what happened in Bengtsfors this early summer: the small fountain figure, which for generations has represented the town’s namesake, has vanished from its traditional spot – it is known…
Seminar HELLWACH
Become Visible This summer, we once again hosted an intensive seminar here at Dalslands Studio: ‘Hellwach’ – the further developed version of what began last year as ‘Inbetween’. A wonderful week with wonderful people, who explored new paths for themselves through close personal interaction. As with Inbetween, the focus was on intensive, one-to-one coaching in…
Dalslands Studio Newsletter 26 published
On 4 July 2026, issue 26 of the Dalslands Studio Newsletter – June 2026 – was published. In it, you can read about a visit to Tresticklans National Park and the secret paths of the resistance, the fire in Bengtsfors and how small things can have a big impact, memories of Ramsvik and modernity born…
Planning for 2027 at Dalslands Studio – a week to settle in, reflect and take a deep breath
In 2027, we will reopen the Dalslands Studio to groups, families and individuals who wish to unwind, reflect and gain new perspectives for a few days or a week – in the heart of the Dalsland countryside, right by the water. Building on our previous seminars and camps, we aim to open the house specifically…
