    Beschreibung

    We are two couples, French and English who are interested in spiritual and energetic matters and 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 enjoying aspects of co-living and co-creating in this peaceful hamlet 2 km from the village of Artigat.
    We have a passion for classical, folk and traditional music and singing mainly with guitare as accompaniment..

    Marie and Pierre, the French couple, have renovated an old house in a nearby village, so knowledge for maintenance projects woud be an advantage.

    There was a group project to build a bicycle workshop now completed as three in the household have a passion in cycling. Some knowledge of, or interest in bicycles would be valuable.

    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. 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 of recreational drugs other than very moderate and occasional consumption of alcohol. For your awareness, no one in the household has had the CV-Vax.
