Hi my name is Jacqueline I run a non-profit Community Interest Company we registered in 2015 and since then run projects and workshops supporting individuals and groups with mental health and well being within our local community.
I am 53, I have a daughter Ffion 26 and son Cai 24. We live in a mill near Carmarthen in West Wales. It is an ancient corn mill with a farmhouse and a cottage on a plot of land that sits next to the river Pibwr in Bolahaul (which translates to Belly of the Sun) It is a beautiful place with bags of character and charm. We have all the home comforts, electricity, hot water, showers, Wi-Fi, and television, but we are environmentally conscious we like to recycle, there are vegetable gardens, composting loos, and solar power. We can cater for vegetarians and vegans and we enjoy our food. We are relatively early risers as we like to get the most out of our days. Carmarthen is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive, it's one of the oldest towns in Britain, ancient Roman, It was also the home of Merlin, King Arthur's Druid, and is steeped in Pagan history.
We also have two dogs and a cat. Suri the Spinoni, Lilly the mini poodle and indie the tabby cat. I have a busy life style which includes having fun, dancing, board games, cycling, swimming, seeing live music etc
I have a herd of therapy horses, I practice and teach Relational horse/Human ship based on Parelli as well as other models of natural horsemanship. I also manages stables and land in Pembrey, which is next to Pembrey Country Park, where there are 500 acres of parkland and an 8-mile beach which can be accessed easily. I'm also hairdresser, therapist and a Yoga teacher. Ffion lives in the Mill with her partner Joe they are both tattoo artists and run a shop in Carmarthen. Cai also plays in a band, he is training to be a Psychiatric nurse in Bristol University. We are a globally-minded family and keen to share our experiences with people from different cultures. All task are, horse, animal or garden related. There is also some general housekeeping and maintenance to keep the shared living place clean and tidy.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje
