  Description

  ---- FRENCH AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DESCRIPTION ---
  
  Greetings, I am Vaillant, a native of France with a deep-rooted connection to the land. Over two decades, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey within the dynamic realm of Silicon Valley in the United States. However, the winds of change led me to Costa Rica in March 2020, where I now reside.
  
  In my quest for a life aligned with nature's rhythms and driven by heartfelt inspiration, I birthed the haven known as Theleme. Within its embrace, we cherish values that encompass sustainability, autonomy, the delicate equilibrium between liberty and accountability, human kinships and bonds, personal evolution, mindful communication, spirituality, entrepreneurial spirit, authenticity, fun, and the spirit of reciprocity.
  
  On our idyllic grounds thrive a charming community of 4 goats, 8 chickens, and 8 ducks. A flourishing greenhouse paints a canvas of vibrant vegetables and fragrant herbs. Our present endeavors revolve around the principles of permaculture and sustainable construction. Intermittently, we orchestrate retreats that delve into personal growth, a testament to our holistic approach.
  
  The individual best suited for us would be a harmonious blend of ethical diligence, practical adeptness, a spiritual compass, and the gift of self-governance. We're in search of those who yearn to engrain themselves within our community's fabric on a more prolonged basis. Our current pursuits span the development of economic frameworks, including ecotourism and the distribution of farm-grown produce.
  
  For those drawn to volunteer, your commitment entails five morning sessions of communal labor each week. The afternoons generously unfold for personal introspection and creative exploration. Nourishment and shelter are offerings extended in exchange for your dedication. Still, we remain receptive to alternative forms of reciprocity.
  
  Should the notion of this endeavor resonate with you, I invite you to establish contact. Our volunteer tenure spans a minimum of three months, the initial three weeks serving as a mutual trial period.

  Bonjour, je m'appelle Vaillant, et je suis originaire de France. Pendant plus de deux décennies, j'ai été un entrepreneur au cœur de la Silicon Valley aux États-Unis. Cependant, les vents du changement m'ont conduit au Costa Rica en mars 2020, où je réside désormais.
  
  Dans ma quête d'une vie en harmonie avec les rythmes de la nature et animé par une inspiration sincère, j'ai donné naissance à un havre de paix: Theleme. En son sein, nous chérissons des valeurs qui englobent la durabilité, l'autonomie, l'équilibre délicat entre liberté et responsabilité, les liens humains, l'évolution personnelle, la communication consciente, la spiritualité, l'esprit entrepreneurial, l'authenticité, le divertissement et l'esprit de réciprocité.
  
  Sur notre domaine idyllique prospère une charmante communauté composée de 4 chèvres, 8 poules et 8 canards. Une serre florissante peint un tableau de légumes vibrants et d'herbes parfumées. Nos efforts actuels gravitent autour des principes de la permaculture et de la construction durable. De manière intermittente, nous organisons des retraites qui explorent la croissance personnelle, témoignant ainsi de notre approche holistique.
  
  L'individu le mieux adapté à notre communauté serait un mélange harmonieux d'éthique de travail, de compétences pratiques, d'une certaine spiritualité et d'autogouvernance. Nous sommes à la recherche de ceux qui aspirent à s'intégrer durablement dans le tissu de notre communauté. Nos efforts actuels englobent le développement de modèles économiques, notamment l'écotourisme et la distribution future de produits de la ferme.
  
  Pour ceux qui sont attirés par le volontariat, votre engagement comprend cinq sessions matinales de travail communautaire chaque semaine. Les après-midis sont disponibles pour l'introspection personnelle et l'exploration créative. Nourriture et abri sont offerts en échange de votre dévouement. Cependant, nous restons ouverts à d'autres formes de réciprocité.
  
  Si l'idée de cette entreprise résonne en vous, je vous invite à entrer en contact. Notre engagement volontaire s'étend sur une durée minimale de trois mois, les trois premières semaines servant de période d'essai mutuel.
