  Description

  Animals, building, breathing and Art.
  
  We are Miriam & Simon( from Germany) and started our Project of Self-Expression four years ago on La Palma. We bought some land with lots of almond trees. and an old canarian stone hose, wich we are about to renovate. We have been living in a Yurt ever since and put up a wooden house for guests and a outdoor citchen. We have been already working with Teenager from Germany who spend some Months on the Island and some days a week at our spot. Simon is Educator and i am an Artist and training myself for Coaching with animals. In Future we want to work more with people who need a change in life.
  
  Our beatuful daughter Maya came one year ago in our life. We also have a Dog Panda and two Horses. Marquito and Bonita.
  
  I am practicing the Trust Technique with James French- wich is all about cooperation and peace and no pressure. What i really love to work with and i can recommend it to everyone. There are some free videos online, really nice to watch.
  One of them you can find on youtube. With “ james french- i have a dream.”
  Our dog is a rescued one and she needs a lot of time to trust new people wich can be challenging to some visitors sometimes.
  
  -Our fica can have tough condition's too. In Wintertime it can get rainy and cold. And in Summer very hot and dusty, but the days inbetween are amazing. We are looking for someone who is not too picky and has no problem with compost toilet and outdoor shower and appreciate being in nature.
  
  We would love Someone who is good with tools and likes building, cooking or child and animal care.
  
  We live on 1200m next to a forest and you can reach the ocean after a 40 Minutes drive. The next village is 15 minutes by
  car.
  
  If you are interested and have more Questions, drop us a message and tell us about your self and ask what you want.
  
  I am super sorry if can not reply everyone or fast enough. If it fits it fits if not please led it flow and stay respectful without hate messages.
  
  Saludos
  Miri & Simon
