Est un lieu de connexion à soi, à l'autre et à la Nature. Ce projet permacole de jardin forêt installé en site autonome (pas d'accès aux réseaux) vous permettra de vivre une expérience riche et originale. Et votre venue contribuera a notre ouverture d'esprit et nourrira le plaisir de la rencontre!
Emilie, 40 ans, maman de Amaya(9ans) et Mélopée (3 ans) vivent là. Ils vous proposent de venir faire un bout du voyage avec eux et voir comment vivre simplement pour que les autres humains de cette planète puissent simplement vivre. Le lieu fonctionne avec de l'eau de pluie et de source, l'énergie solaire et construit patiemment un jardin forêt, pratiquant un régime flexivore, ayant pour visée une transition vers un régime composé de ce que pourra produire le lieu à terme (plantes vivaces et sauvages comestibles, légumes, fruits, noix, spiruline, viande). On pratique les apprentissages autonomes avec les enfants et vous serez invités a partager avec nous vos passions. Vous oeuvrerez dans une certaine autonomie et il vous incombera de demander ce dont vous avez besoin, à partir d'une introduction de notre part à notre lieu et son fonctionnement!. Vous serez hébergés dans de confortables caravanes (avec électricité solaire et chauffage bois) incluses dans un bâtiment écologique original.
L'association propose sur le site diverses activités, ateliers d'éducation à l'écologie. Vous serez bienvenus pour y participer et même, si vous le désirez, contribuer en proposant un atelier ou en oeuvrant en tant que bénévole.
Familles en unschooling bienvenues. Séjour minimum souhaité: 3 semaines
Nous sommes SURTOUT à la recherche d'une femme/JEUNE FEMME (avec ou sans enfant), qui serait intéressée pour partager notre lieu à PLUS LONG TERME (2-3 MOIS ) afin d'y prendre une place auprès des enfants et/ou dans le potager. Nous attendons des adultes une présence respectueuse et claire auprès des enfants, un rôle d'accompagnateur à l'autonomie. Un français minimum est préférable ET NOUS SOMMES DACCORD POUR CONTRIBUER À L'APPRENTISSAGE!
