Community
"We all get lost in life sooner or later. For those of us who fell hard and learned to get up again, finding meaning and an inner strength becomes a turning point that lasts."
Back in the Ring, Arendalsuka 2022

We believe in the power of yoga and community

Social work is part of Nøsen's DNA, and much of the reason the house exists. Some of the people you meet here are rebuilding their lives, and Nøsen is a meeting place for that work.
