Anneli Dahlén
FOUNDER
I was born and raised in the countryside of Malung, Sweden. As a cultural ambassador for the beautiful region of Dalarna, I want to carry on the traditions of my ancestors. I value my roots greatly as the 7th generation of “kurbits” painters, dating back to at least the year 1800. It is this connection to my ancestors that have inspired me in my work today. By combining all the knowledge and culture with new thinking regarding meditation and a sustainable lifestyle. I intend to help improve the mental health of others.
When I was 36 years old I suffered from depression. It forced me to turn inwards and really ask myself who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. I mended my soul wounds with therapy and listened to a lot of music. It took a few years to process my childhood and my alienation. I quit my job and started my own company in order to be able to control my time and health.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided that now is the right time to start helping others improve their mental health in an innovative way with Swedish Culture & Lifestyle.
Never give up, you are needed in our world by someone.

The wooden horse Sonja, first made by Dahlénkullan in 2004. It features a painted “Malungsflock” pattern, the same fabric pattern used on the lamp and cloth. Which is an old traditional pattern that was used extensively by people who lived in Malung.
