Description
I am Collette and i live here with my 18 year old son Caspar, we have 3 bulldogs and 2 cats . I am an international teacher of psychospirituality and the feminine mysteries. I host online courses and retreats for women. I teach yoga in the local community and hold a variety of workshops and gatherings, I offer celebrant services for marriages and celebrations! I am also a practicing Druid and teach the Bandorai ( Druid Priestess work) to women online.
Caspar is away during the week as he studies his International Baccalaureate in Geopolitics and comes home to us and his love of working on the land at weekends.
We love nature and deep connection to it is the foundation for our spirituality, the land here has gifted us so much and we wish to open this space to others and the community, serving good causes once we get the work done we need. We very much operate as a sacred space so anyone who comes would have to appreciate and respect this.
We would like someone or a couple who can help around the place as we progress to completely off grid living. Chopping wood and bringing wood in for the furnace for hot water and heating. Helping with cultivating the land , by creating deadhedging, pruning, weeding, strimming, creating sacred spaces. There will be general maintenance that is required, so someone who is a general handy person would be ideal. There may be opportunities to make a little money locally by helping out others in the same way.
You will have a free place at our yoga classes , workshops and spiritual events on the land and those we provide locally
There will be an outside yurt available for you to sleep in with a stove and a double bed for you, so you get your own privacy and are nestled by the river in the nature. The down stairs of the house has open access for you to shower , cook, sit with the dogs and us by the stove !
This region of France is in the national park and we are surrounded by forests and lakes. We are very rural and live on a wooded plot right next to the river. There is a good connection to public transport available and usually a car to use if you have a licence.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
We have a very large 7m bell tent with stove , double bed and outside toilet. There is a hot shower and a kitchen to use for cookinh.
What else ...
We are deep in the national park where there are stunning hikes and walks, places of natural beauty such as megaliths, dolmens, templar sites, and Richard the Lion heart trail. In summer there is a different vibe as it opens to tourists who are more connected to adventure and nature, so expect kayaking and festivals of the rural kind! There are many secret sacred sites , ones that host ancient tress and monuments. There is also much to do in the cities surrounding this wooded area , train station is only 5mins walk from the property, buses are available and the nearest airport is 35 mins away in Limoges.
Our place is a sacred space where we work in spirituality, psychospirituality, mindfullness, nature based Druidry and yoga.
