  • Description

    Description

    We are the first international & interdisciplinary center for Love-Studies research.

    We are in our 4th year as a project. We arrived on site in February 2021, and opened as a research center October 2021. We've had over 100 residents, so we feel we have finally built a very clear, sustainable, and adaptive structure.

    We're searching for volunteer (3 weeks at the very minimum) to start with us ASAP.

    Most of the tasks will concern caring for external grounds (gardening, weeding, caring for animals, composting...) and building maintenance (re-jointing walls, building water evacuation, waste management, fixing things...), and some domestic tasks (cleaning, laundry, etc.) - so we are looking for candidates preferably with experience in these areas, experienced in community life in an international environment where English is the main language spoken, and able to help in autonomy with given instructions. If you don't have experience but show good spirit and willingness to learn, you are also welcome.

    We will be using a totally transparent system of chore/task allocation. 3 years of this project gave us an extensive experience in developing our own collaborative tools based on archetypal patterns and compassionate communication. We ask for a general attitude of generosity through contribution and a commitment to enjoying life together (fun is part of any harmonious community). And curiosity! Lots of curiosity! We LOVE questions... we are a research center after all!

    So far in our experience, we can see that acting from "self-interest" and/or "self-sacrifice" both create a community of reactive egos, whereby acting towards collective harmony, sharing individual challenges and forms of support creates a community of connectivity, inspiration, learning, and profound enjoyment. That is, indeed, what we'd most like to share: joy and deep learning.

    We are located in the countryside in a basin. Our house has thick walls. We installed an antenna for phone reception but not all carries work equally. Orange network is by far the best. Starlink provides our internet and gives stable, high-speed connection most of the time for video-calls etc...

    Space for parking camper vans

    We have a space to park a camper / motorhome in front of our valley right near our summer kitchen. It feels very nice there.
