    Description

    Our project :
    We wish to create an eco-place aimed at autonomy, respect for living things, respect for natural laws, the development of all human dimensions, with the aim of participating in creating a better future for future generations. This place of renewal will be the vector of common intentions of respect for oneself and others, responsibilities, solidarity, simplicity, autonomy, discoveries, and ecology.
    In an approach of kindness, sharing, tolerance and solidarity, this little haven of peace will be an open, friendly and dynamic place.

    Our location:
    A large terraced house surrounded by several hectares of woods and meadows on which we develop different activities: market gardening on mounds, in greenhouses, tree orchard, berry orchard... We have a few poultry and a few goats as well.

    The residents:
    Chunyan and Manoël who are at the origin of the project, Léon our son, the family who comes to help us, some friends as well. We have Titouille our dog, Ninouille and Adolphe our cats, some poultry and some goats... :)

    List the activities that WWOOFers will participate in and what you want to teach them:
    Here we can learn to:
    - cultivate
    - build all kinds of things
    - tinker
    - make parks for animals
    - take care of animals
    - restore a pond
    - create ponds
    - know the vital laws
    - eat well
    - speak Chinese
    and a thousand other things...

    What might a WWOOFer's day look like at your home (Monday to Saturday)?
    this is just an example:
    - get up 8am, breakfast
    - 8:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m.: take care of the animals
    - 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.: taking care of the plants
    - 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m.: DIY, miscellaneous work
    - 1 p.m.: meal
    - 2 p.m.-3 p.m.: very important, nap
    - afternoon: visit the white waterfall
    - evening: sharing around naturopathy

    Your own hobbies and surroundings (hiking, swimming, etc.):
    - we like soft music, crusine, calm, going to bed early, taking care of Léon and managing the place
    - multiple activities are possible in the surrounding area: white waterfall, green waterfall, various hikes, choranche caves, Arps road, Saint Antoine l'abbaye, bridge in Royans, Saint Nazaire in Royans...


    Notre projet :
    Nous souhaitons créer un écolieu visant l'autonomie, le respect du vivant, le respect des lois naturelles, le développement de toutes les dimensions de l'humain, dans la perspective de participer à créer un avenir meilleur pour les futures générations. Ce lieu de ressourcement sera le vecteur d’intentions communes de respect de soi et d’autrui, de responsabilités, de solidarité, de simplicité, d’autonomie, de découvertes, et d’écologie.
    Dans une démarche de bienveillance, de partage, de tolérance et de solidarité, ce petit havre de paix sera un lieu ouvert, convivial et dynamique.

    Notre lieu :
    Une vaste maison mitoyenne entourée de plusieurs hectares de bois et prairies sur lesquelles nous développons différentes activités: maraichage sur buttes, sous serres, verger d'arbres, verger de baies... Nous avons quelques volailles et quelques chèvres également.

    Les habitants :
    Chunyan et Manoël qui sommes à l'origine du projet, Léon notre fils, la famille qui vient nous aider, quelques amis également. Nous avons Titouille notre chien, Ninouille et Adolphe nos chats, quelques volailles et quelques chèvres... :)

    Ici nous pouvons apprendre à:
    - cultiver
    - construire toutes sortes de choses
    - bricoler

    - restaurer un bassin
    - creer des marres
    - connaitre les lois vitales

    et milles autres choses...

    À quoi pourrait ressembler la journée d'un WWOOFeur chez vous (du lundi au samedi ) ?
