Welcome to the home of André to help in the development of a self management school of wisdom in Burgundy.
For the pleasure of meetings, for the pleasure of creating, of building yourself through manuel work, contact with nature. Since 1994 already 600 volunteers wrote that they were happy here (on the guest book). After I have welcomed more and more wwoofers (120 in 2019 !! ). I took one year break and unscribe with wwwoof. Thus, I start again on workaway . This is a possibility for you .
After a varied and rich life: BTS of photography , seminar , practice of all the building trades,15 months volonteer in an hospital in Africa ( Togo), management of fifty holidays center for young people from 6 to 20 years old ,etc....Now, I continue to arrange my place to make a small self managed retirement home for a dozen openheart nd open-minded people wishing to advance spiritually through méditation, work on oneself, group life...I am 72 years old in a great shape, working a lot to improve this place, alone, happy, and in peace.
I leave in a small village of 160 inhabitants, on 5000 square meters of land. There is a large organic vegetable garden, 25 fruit trees, a large 300 years old oak tree and three houses.
Bienvenue chez André pour aider à l'aménagement d'un écolieu autogéré de sagesse en Bourgogne.
Pour le plaisir des rencontres, le plaisir de créer, de se construire à travers le travail manuel, le minéral, le végétal, la Vie .... Depuis 1994, déjà 600 volontaires wwoofeurs ont écrit sur les 4 livres d'or qu'ils avaient été heureux ici.....mais devant le nombre grandissant de wwoofeurs accueillis : 120 en 2019 !! (et parce que je n'ai pas de secrétaire particulière !! ....)
J'ai pris une année sabbatique, puis me suis inscrit sur workaway pour rencontrer d'autres personnes .Voilà donc une possibilité pour vous.....
