  Description

  We are Delphine and Ruben and we have developed a yoga school, an osteopathy practice and a heart connection centre. For the organization of our various courses and events (yoga weekend, women's and men's circles, etc.) we would like to transform our garden into a forest - vegetable garden filled with vegetables and edible plants and medicinal plants.
  
  Nous sommes Delphine et Ruben et nous avons développé une école de yoga , un cabinet d'ostéopathie et un centre de connexion du cœur.
  
  Pour l'organisation de nos différents cours et events (weekend de yoga, cercles féminins et masculins, etc.) nous aimerions transformer notre jardin en forêt - potager rempli de légumes et plantes comestibles et des plantes médicinales.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We believe we can offer a lot of rich life experiences. We renovated the house ourselves and have therefore a lot of manual experience that we can share. Our house is situated in the beautiful Swiss mountains where hiking and other mountain sports are part of the daily activities.
  
  In term of our day to day, direct exchange, we (Delphine and myself) mostly work from home so we will see the workawayers daily. Although we do want to respect our own need for personal time, we would like to have different moments, beside the collaborative working time, together. This could be, for exemple, having meals together, showing the workawayers around the area, going on hikes together (with our 2 dogs), etc...
  
  The workawayers would of course also be invited to join with one of our yoga classes , or other collective courses, free of charge if they feel like it.
  
  In term of what we can teach the workawayers, we imagine different ranges:
  - The practical competences and know-how in wood construction and permaculture/food forest gardening (which we are still learning about ourselves...)
  - In soft skills, the workawayers are more than welcome to follow us , and pick up some tips and tricks, during our work as health practitioners and life coaches. This of course not as work, but only if they are interested...
  - We would love to share our "close to nature" lifestyle.

  Help

  We are developing our garden to become a place of peace and to also integrate permaculture and self sufficiency. For this we would need practical help with a variety of manual tasks. From planting different types of trees and plants, to simple woodwork tasks and installations. The tasks would mostly be outside, around the house.
  To be clear, these tasks will only be for our private garden.
