    Description

    This is the non profit foundation , a place where nature, people and simple living come together. We love the rhythm of outdoor life, working with the land and sharing meaningful moments with others.

    We are located in Saint Désiré, in the Allier region of Auvergne Rhône Alpes, a peaceful area with rolling hills, forests and quiet villages. It’s perfect for slowing down, enjoying nature and exploring local markets and lakes.

    We live here as a group of four (Lideweij Eva Dana & Midas) and also with one year old Leo (Kid of Dana and Midas), surrounded by animals: two dogs, three cats and some chickens. It’s a warm and dynamic home where no day is the same.

    If you enjoy a slightly chaotic environment, nature, hands-on work and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, you’ll feel at home here quickly.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Social life is an important part of the experience. We often share meals together, watch the sunset or go to markets together. There are also opportunities to connect with the local community through markets and nearby villages. We also have a friend in the town who teaches French. (classes on request)

    We enjoy sharing practical skills like gardening, working with nature, simple maintenance, cooking and hosting guests. But also the mindset behind it: creating a more sustainable and balanced way of living.
