Description
Update : we are now in the south of france near Toulouse where you are welcome !
We use to travel as often as we can all over the world and we found a great way to go on travelling while we’re in france : hosting volunteers !
We are a friendly and creativ family :
Maud : writer, musician and naturopath, specialist of Detox diet and fasting, practice yin- yoga and meditation and two beautiful souls : Zacharie (9) and Enki (12).
Enki and Zacharie are great French teachers, they are very talkative!
Rolland is also living at home, involved in the projet. He is musician (clarinette, piano and doublebass).
We live in an ecological way and we eat mostly vegetarian or vegan food. Made sometimes from wild herbs that we find around .
If you feel like spending time in nature, living simply, sharing lifetime, come to join us !
We need a hand for different kind of things : we are happy to get help to make the outdoors nicer and nicer, plant flowers and create new outside spaces, you can also help with Enki and zacharie (games, drawing, sport...), to help with computer work, to create colorful wooden signs, for cooking, for cleaning the house and the outside.
Regularly, Maud gives detox and yoga retreats. When it happens you can learn about yoga, meditation, dance, writing...
Very close to home, you will find nice walking and biking tracks... Lot's of festivals around !
It's ideal if you are mature, able to help with cooking, cleaning or wash dishes spontaneously. Our home is a good place for those who love music, simplicity, quietness, family life...
Of course we provide all meals that we cook together!
We like a minimum stay of 7 days.

I went with the idea of working on their project but I found myself helping with other domestic activities, even giving space to reflections and talks.
