Description
We are two couples, French and English who run a spiritual and energetic retreat space exploring new ways of living, healing and education in rural Ariége, Midi-Pyrénées. This region is part of Occitanie. We are South of Toulouse in the foothills of the magnificent Pyrénées. The South facing property set in 6 hectares of garden and woodland. We are exploring ways of co-living and co-creating in this peaceful hamlet 2 km from the village of Artigat.
We have a passion for classical, traditional music and singing.
Marie and Pierre, the French couple, have a new project for renovating a old house in a nearby village, so knowledge with working with wood or restoration projects. A willingness to be involved with the restoration may be of interest and would be helpful.
There is a group project to build a bicycle workshop as three in the household have a interest in cycling. Some elementary construction of this outbuilding would be helpful.
We have a number of guests and often have visitors throughout the year and especially in the Summer. The house and property are shared with cats and dogs. There is a need to care for in particular two the cats who live in the cabin of Helena and John next to the Tiny House away from the main house.while John and Helena are away in California in June and July. Their son Josef is there for most of this time.
Accommodation is in the main house, the Tiny House or a three room tent in the garden in the summer.
This environment is not suitable for smokers or users recreational drugs other than very moderate and occasional consumption of alcohol. For your awareness, no one in the household has had the CV-Vax.
