Beschreibung
(also nederlands, deutsch, français)
Do you like the "Silence of Wild Nature"? You are welcome to "workaway" on my little former farm, in the midst of forests and mountains, close to a natural lake in the mediterranean climate. Since 2019, I have been a certified life coach, counselling people especially in dealing with unpleasant emotions. This and my training programs are being marketed online.
Also since I moved to this place, a small organic vegetable, fruit & herbal garden has been started. So there is garden work to be done and/or you might teach me some wordpress skills.
I'm a Dutchman born in 1962, who wanted to live in France since he was 25 years old. My mission is to cultivate compassion with all beings in this world.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
The house is in an area where the French are open-minded and relaxed with foreigners. I've searched for 3,5 years to find this beautiful place. If you would be interested, I would love to share with you my enthusiasm for the theory and practice of buddhism and meditation, music and science, including neuropsychology, trauma healing, and much more.
I've been a teacher of business and politics. I now work as a coach and trainer, mostly online, and you can learn about ethical online marketing and promotion with me.
As a consequence of doing much inner work myself, my studies and lifelong spiritual journey and buddhist meditation, I assist people on their emotional and spiritual paths.
Ton is my Dutch first name. We can speak Dutch, English, German or French. I'm fluent in Dutch, good in English, quite good in German and French; I'd gladly help you practice your languages every now and then!
Arbeit
ONLINE
From this remote place, I deliver coaching and training online. Obviously, this requires ongoing online marketing and website maintenance. Currently, I am releasing a program called Getting Past Loneliness. Teaching me some new Wordpress skills for my online activities would be very welcome.
GARDEN + HOUSE
Alternatively, you can (also) help shape this little paradise for yourself and others who come after you. You are most welcome to help with:
> gardening (improve upon the original garden);
> permaculture (there are 2 hectares that need maintenance);
> general maintenance and repairs.
Working 25 hours a week would be a fair rate, but you can do more when you’re enjoying yourself.
I understand that some Workawayers are very short of money. If needed, I can support you with your travel expenses.

Unterkunft

Sharing the kitchen, bathroom and wifi.
Sharing the terrace, garden and beautiful natural surroundings, in a very nice climate.
Was noch ...
Twenty minutes walking distance there is a silent lake, where you can enjoy the pure water.
Half an hour walking away, and half an hour biking away, you'll find little French villages with a bar, a post office, a grocery shop, and more.
All around the place are woods where nature reigns, where other animals like wild boar, birds and insects live, and where you can walk and become empowered by nature.
For other trips and visits, there are plenty of possibilities within 1 hour driving distance.
Are there any contra-indications? Yes, there are. But let me also put them in a positive way:
> in winter, you'd be fine in a cold sleeping room with warm duvets and an electric blanket or a warm water bottle - a farm does not have the luxury of city life
> in summer, you'd be fine in a non-air conditioned room (but in a house with thick walls)
> you are fine with "farm hygiene", and want to make friends with spiders and bugs, and be at ease with some dust or dirt
> you are fine with a rather remote place
> you are conscious about preventing spoilage (of water, food, etc.) or damage
> you are fine with discussions, social talk and a light-hearted atmosphere
> you are fine just as well with limited conversation with me, when I'm in a period of retiring myself
> you are happy with my alter ego Antonio preparing meals, where it will be mostly vegetarian and vegan
> you are understanding when the host wants certain things done in his particular way
> you are not afraid of dinosaurs; this is a many millions years old land, and we must expect Tyrannosaurus Rex to roam around here
So, if you are interested in such an experience and exchange, please send me a message now.
I'd love to chat with you about what YOU want out of this adventure, and how we can make this work for you, me, and the project.
Alrighty? I'll react as fast as I can. Promise.

Me too, I work from home online. The internet connection is more than OK: we now have glass fibre = high speed connection.
Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans
A little bit closer or farther away from my house - there are good options, and there is electricity too.
Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen
There is my cat Charlotte who can be quite territorial to other cats, and afraid of dogs. But after some accommodation time, she goes well with other pets.
