    Description

    After 30 years in Berlin and a couple of years on the road in a van in Latin America I realised I wanted a change of lifestyle. We only have 90 years, maybe 100, why not try and do something completely new for now? A vision was born while I was attending a yoga teacher training in Guatemala back in 2019. Fast forward march 2021 when I moved into an old farmhouse in the heart of Brittany - a region I had never been before in my life. I am trying to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle surrounded by a small bunch of chicken, two cats, magical gardens, a greenhouse and fruit trees. I'm dreaming up a place here that has the potential to leave a positive impact on everyone who is staying or passing by.
    I'm running a small BnB and am starting to transform an old barn into a space for yoga, meditation, workshops, small events and more.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travellers will be able to enjoy living in the breton countryside, find some peace and immerse themselves into the unspoilt nature around here and experience market day on tuesdays and fridays.
    I can share with you everything I know about growing veggies, cooking, preserving, hosting and how to tame chicken :)

    At the farm there is no place for discrimination, racism, sexism, fascism, antisemitism nor any other kind of hate.

  • Help

    Help

    The type of help I am looking for is related to gardening (traditional and permaculture based), animal care, eco-construction, general maintenance and cleaning, landscaping, harvesting and preserving produce. Also, your own ideas and visions on how to transform and elevate the farm are always welcome and appreciated!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Depending on the occupancy, you have a room for yourself or you share a room with another workawayer. The room has a pretty garden view, wooden floors and comfy beds.

    We share the kitchen and living room.

    Ample garden space to relax and for tents

    Parking for vans

    Full board

    Living together requires us to be mindful of our spaces and the people around us. It is important to me that we keep all spaces (private ones and shared ones) tidy and clean. Please apply only if this resonates with you.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:

    To make it easier for me to keep track of the messages and applications from you, please follow these messaging guidelines:

    You can write to me in English, German and French.

    Please type your preferred DATES in European format into the MESSAGE TITLE and add the word FLEXIBLE or NOT FLEXIBLE. Please don’t add anything else into the Message Title.

    Examples:
    01.06.-16.6.2023 NOT FLEXIBLE
    October 2023 FLEXIBLE

    Please keep you first MESSAGE relatively compact. I’d love to read up to 5 sentences about you, why you would like to come to the farm and your relevant prior experience. Then please add 5 strengths, 5 skills and 5 interests in a bulletpoint format 😊

    Thank you for helping me keeping things manageable.

    TRAVEL INFORMATION:
    The closest big cities are Rennes, Lorient, Saint Brieuc and Guingamp. Normally, workawayers take public transport to either of these and continue the trip with a carpool – a BlablaCar – to go to either Gouarec, Guémené-sur-Scorff, Pontivy or Rostrenen. From these places I can pick you up.
