Description
Hello,
I am living in Normandy (France), more precisly in the beautiful area called "swiss normandy". I left Paris 2 years ago to make a wood and straw house weeling to achieve autonomy (as much as possible).
At the moment, I live with 2 goats, 2 cats, a dog and chickens.
Since I am here, things are progressing, life is installing itself in the new vegetable garden and greenhouse.
As hypnotherapist (which is my job), my aim is to build a "therapeutic farm" where people will come to resource themselves among the living.
Depending on the season, workawayers will sleep in a mezzanine room above mine or in a caravan (if they prefer).
There are - of course - many things to do : helping me in building the house (straw, wood and mortar), but also take care of animals and vegetable gardens.
I call my place "star hours" thanks to a Stephen Zweig book ... and ... it works !

This part of normandy is really beautiful, I only eat bio, therefore, most of my friends and comunity pay attention to nature and life (some are english or american some are spanish). You'll share my life (meals of course included) and will meet people I see ... encounters and human discovery will do the rest
Help
Help I need is depending on the meteo : making the house (wood, straw, cob), gardening, feeding goats, and other do-it-yourself stufs that are always appearing !
