Description
Here we= Steven and Dina, live close to nature and in en very simple way to find a new connection with life, meditation and art. The art of living and creating beauty in all levels. Here is a biological/permaculture farm. And big ateliers for art and a very big garden. The food is vegetarian and as possible straight out the garden. We live in an dynamic meditative way. We do not like to take alcohol, tabacco or any drugs. We communicate in a way of connecting..
I am a Flemish artist : I like to start all kind of art from the dance yoga presence.
I need help in the garden and renovating in an eco way.
With corona I understood that connecting in a dynamic way on a deeper level is a new way of living: it is this new pad I love to go with young people = people open to the new ideas to create a new world.
So welcome during these days to help me and have an amazing time on the farm.
On the farm I do not have extra internet...If you have internet on your phone it is great. My neighbour offers internet if needed. If you come by train I can fetch you at the train. This year the focus for the renovation is to repair walls and repaint some doors and windows.
You can take a hot bath and hot showers in the house, but we save water, because water is very precious and we need a lot for the garden. In the house there are wood stoves to warm you if it might be cold outside. But springtime normally here is hot. You can have a private room and a lot of time to do art or walking in nature. To arrive on the farm I can come and fetch you in Chatellerault: June en July can be a good to come and help in the gardens.
It was a very dry summer last year, I am so happy to see the first rain coming, and all water problems are gone now.
Lets find and live all the win win ways of living in a spiritual way.
be very welcome
Dina.

Help
You are very welcome from now 06/07 2023 to help in the garden and keep the farm clean or to do small renovation work.
Normally the most important work is the help in making the old farm to get a second life .. to make the spaces nice and strong. But anyway in springtime we work in the garden it is a big garden: in springtime the garden needs the most of the care because it is the heart of the farm. Every day is needed to help a bit in the kitchen ... If it is springtime like now, we live outside and the energy is nice.

She was caring for me and make sure I was as comfortable as the situation allowed: the severe drought of the summer let the farm without water. I was not expecting it and was a bit shock.
