Description
We are a community of a few Germans that have founded the association that includes a small farm with campsite in rural Central France. We have some sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats and some pitches for visitors to build up their tent or park their van. :) The piece of land that we're living on is very big and we are pretty busy with gardening, repairing machines and other things, managing the visitors, keeping everything clean, and caring for the children and animals.
Our goal is to create a room where everybody can live a simple life in harmony with nature and themselves. Therefore, it is very important to us to have a conscious lifestyle, which is why we meet once a week for a sharing circle and cultivate an open culture of debate in general.
We would like to offer projects for self-development, such as family constellations, yoga and meditation retreats or digital detox and are building a yurt for this at the moment.
Also, we want to found a free kindergarten and (later) a free school. Therefore, we are looking for people who are enthusiastic about children and have experience with them, and for families who want to live with us on a long-term basis.
If you are interested in one of the mentioned areas and willing to stay at least one month, please reach out to us! <3

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You could learn about living in a community which will teach you a lot about yourself.
Also, we are happy to share our knowledge regarding the above mentioned areas.
Since we are all Germans, you could learn the German language. In summer, we have a lot of families visiting us from a lot of countries (mainly from the Netherlands, Germany, UK, France, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland), so that you could practice speaking English, German and French.
We are in the Creuse, one of the least populated areas of beautiful rural France with its 11th/12th century architecture. Also, it is fantastic for walking and cycling away from busy life.
