My stay at Patrick's house has been a very enriching experience.
Patrick is a good host, he has almost infinite patience with whom we hardly speak his language. The house is full of great restorative energy. It is a place of peace that Patrick has created.

In the evening, Pat can teach you stretching and meditation, he gives… read more
