    Description

    I am Aurelie and I am creating a holistic house where people are welcome to take yoga classes, do yoga and fasting retreats and participate in wellness workshops on different topics like shamanism, energy work, self awareness, Kundalini and other styles of yoga and many more. At the moment I need help on the private non business part of the property the holistic house will open in few weeks/ months.

    We will share Kundalini Yoga practice "Sadhana" every morning, that you are welcome to take part in. By being in a typical, quiet french village you will meet and interact with our friendly neighbours, can practice your french skills and enjoy riding bicycle around the area and canoe down the Charente river.

    At the moment I am looking for help with Gardening projects on the private part of la maison. for these I offer you to be totally creative. I have a virgen garden, that wants to become a lush oasis.
    Before creating and planting the space needs to be cleaned up from stones, so you need to be in good physical shape for this task.
    There are lots of general tasks in and around the house, that require simple carpentry skills or advanced DIY skills ;) like fixing paintings and other decorations on the walls, help painting walls and bathroom tiles as well as putting in wooden floors.
    Other more creative tasks like bringing new live to my beautiful old wooden staircase and more are waiting here, too.
