Description
I am french father of 2 wonderful children & three cats. Children (9 & 13) They are fun, bright, intelligent beings, who enjoy nature, art projects and playing games. We attempt to live with a higher intention to serve & grow from within, to create beauty with spirit and feed the soul in everyday life. A retreat from conventional life, the land is surrounded by other farms in southern France. We are 30 min. from Uzes or Ales and 10 min. from Barjac, a famous village for its works in organic farming, permaculture and its vision around ecology.
Our land is a small eden. Stunning surround views necklaced with one hectare of diverse trees, orchard, gardens, and spaces to offer sanctuary. Quiet and tranquil and yet a bicycle ride away or buses to near villages, old dolmens, castles, sacred sites and the Cèze river. We have solar energy, a well for water. Mobiles work but we have no wifi cable internet. This is a place to find oneself, to unplug and move with the rhythms of nature.
We are mostly vegetarian and cook great fresh, local, organic food (if you eat meat, this place may not be the best alignment for your needs.) We are practitioners of a Traditional Spiritual Lineage that has its roots in South India. Bruno deals in sacred art, Asian/Indian Antiques and is a spiritual guide and bring people on pilgrimages throughout India.
Directions:
There are a few different ways to get here, mainly 3 airports; Nimes, Marseille and Montpellier. The train comes in Ales and there is a bus that can lead you to our main road and it is only 10 mins from there. Just let us know how you like to come and we can help you to arrange your travel.
Thank you for considering us in your journey, if you have read all of this so far and feel connected to our spirit, please write to us and share why you would like to come and how long approx. you would like to stay. We would appreciate a meeting with you to discuss the possibility of staying with us. It is important that the children and both of us feel a genuine alignment with workaways, before we make long-term commitments. We are sensitive empaths with strong insights and generous capacities. We enjoy good company & the group work process and at the same time, respect personal space/privacy. If you feel a resonance and inspired to work in the garden during these spring or early summer months, we would be delighted to meet.
Thank you so much and wishing you a wonderful journey.
Bruno

Accommodation
There are 1 wood chalet for 2 or more in the back of the garden, quiet isolated, an outside wood bathroom, a caravan with 2 double beds and for now except for this, it can be tents. We are off the grid, so solar showers & compost toilets.
Accommodation:
Tent or Chalet or Caravan - depending on availability.while temperatures are still cool at night, the chalet has a small fireplace. It's not a luxury resort but a very humble yet magical place.
What else ...
We live in south france near beautiful villages, famous rivers and canyons, 8 mins. to BARJAC 30430 (gard).
A stunning river is a few km by, another one a bit further very famous for its amazing canyon. Many prehistoric caves, lots of forests and the Unesco forest called "les cevennes" which is about 20 min away. We provided bikes, however there are reliable buses for day travel. The Mediterranean Sea is only a couple hours away, if you have your own vehicle to enjoy on your days off. Every Friday, there is a charming market in Barjac and sometimes local musical events/artists are featured during the summer months.
