    Description

    I am Collette and i live here with my partner Marlon and my 17 year old son Caspar, we have 3 bulldogs, 2 cats , 9 chickens and 5 guinea pigs! 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.

    Marlon is a Carpenter and yoga teacher, also teaching in the area and holds men's circles, he is also a practicing Druid. 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.

  • What else ...

    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.
