    Beschreibung

    Hello, and welcome to this page :)

    I am Thierry living in an traditional farm, close to Grenoble in France.
    But there is also family, friends, worker, woofer, traveler around.. ;) depends of the moment and rhythm of the life :)
    I have 2 kids Timothé aged 10 years and Zephir 6 years but separated from the mother, kids are around mostly the week end and some day in the week.

    The project here is to link art/agriculture/handcraft :) open the space and the possibility. Sharing authentic moment and human beeing. Make connection between urban/rural, wild/domestic, art/agriculture/nature/human, inside/outside.... ... . .. .

    The farm is located in the forest on the upper hill of a small village called Murianette. The place offers a beautiful scenery on the city of Grenoble and the mountains surrounding it (Vercors and Chartreuses) but also the valley where the urban jungle is swarming in a discontinuous movement, great for meditation ;) The region is famous (depending on the season) for hiking, climbing, biking, skiing and swimming activities.

    The place have been bought in 2018 with the intention of developing and connecting agricultural and artistic activities on the farm.
    I am a beekeeper for 12 year now and love to pratices dance like contact improvisation. A sharing and connection practice that has also drive me to buy the land and make the dance studio project on a farm (with also the fun and passion for the funky disco 70's beat dance, folk for live music and sharing, or ecstatic dance party for free spirit ;) I also play harmonica and handpan, a bit shy to play with other sometime ^^ I was a super geek before, made studies in comptuer, marketing and communication, but never wanted to work in this sector.. I decide to change life, make one gap year to help homeless people around Grenoble, and made studies again in natural medecine and ethnomedicine. I traveled and worked in different country between 25 and 30. Travelling is the best way for me to connect to yourself and other. And living, is doing the the inner travelling (sorry for the so so english ^^).

    The project is growing as rhythm of the life, and the mojo word would be "sharing" and "autonomy".
    Basically the red line is to continuing with the beekeeping as well as a substainable vegetable garden, planting fruit trees and taking care of animals for the family and guests. There was some donkeys, sheeps, pigs,chickens.. actually there is no animals, except bees, and cajune, the wonder cat woman ;) the focus is to finish the process of renovation and finishing the dance studio which could be used in many ways (artistic residencies, workshops, yoga, concerts at the farm, cinema, etc...), renovate the guest house, continue improving comfort and dreams (solar system, outdoor kitchen/toilet/shower, wood sauna, biogaz..). Coming back more seriously with agriculture linked with the autonomous project of the place (vege, chicken, lamb..) would be after that, and/or with some people who want to invest the place and develop there own activities :)

    The dream, vision and believed is that connection and bridges between art, agriculture and art craft are connecting human soul and can extend his reality and beauty. It is not only "perched" but "anchored" ;) Looking for the stars, but the feets and the hands in the ground.. The place is trying to be as ecological and self sufficient as possible in the way we live, build, eat, travel... (perma for the modern term :) There is some experiment and creating systems to be autonomous in the energy and food in that way (solar, biogaz, running water electricity.. in process)

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    It is possible to host 3 workaway at the same time. There is the guest house (in process for renovation) and caravan/yurt.
    In winter time there is two room in the guest house (at the moment) or one caravan (heated) we can offer to our guests for sleeping (double bed, small cooking area and storing).
    In spring summer to autumn a yurt is mounted. There is another caravan.
    You will have access to the house guest, kitchen, compost toilets and a bathroom (with hot water, insteed there is the river too ^^).
    Food is life !! :)) Food will be provided. You just manage your addiction ;) (coffee, tobacco, chocolate..). It is also the moment to share, have a moment together, the preference is to cook and eat together, like a family, common sense of cleaning and sharing the task. I love cooking and eating, love discover and sharing new recipe from you :)) Veg are welcome and respected the same way you respect other if they not/different. There is no obligation, as if it possible to have some meals, time alone and separated also, for a healthy habit and respect needs of each other. The most important is to communicate. So, how we organize for breakfast and evening meals could be discussed individually according to your specific needs and wishes :)

    Please be clear and precise in your demand, especially for the dates if you can. Will help to have a clear response and organize :) Thanks !

    Please notice too that the farm is isolated in the forest and that you can only access it with a 4x4 or a 20 min walk in the forest. This requires some logistic as soon as you want to take off for some adventures in Grenoble or in the surroundings ! There a 4x4 and are happy come pick you up if needed.
    From the village of Murianette, there is a regular bus going to the center of Grenoble. It's a 25 min ride. Another way to get to town is to ride a bike for about 45 min along the river side. We can lend you a bike.
    Grenoble has many museums, bars, concert halls, etc.. If you are not so into going to the city but prefer hiking or other outdoor activities, you will find many mountains, lakes, rivers.. and beautiful places to hike to. There are possibilities to reach the surrounding nature with public transportation. We can guide you to some places or help you with choosing your activities. There is also a train station in Gières which is about 15 min away from our house.
