    Description

    Animals, Art, Breathing,

    We are Miriam & Simon( from Germany) and started our Privat 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. We have been living in a Yurt ever since and put up a wooden house for friends and family.The yurt will be community space as soon as we move in the house soon. and we also have a community outdoor citchen.

    Our Beautiful daughter Maya came Februar 2024 in our life. We also have a Dog Panda and two Horses. Marquito and Bonita. And one horse from a Friend

    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.
    But there will be somoe space to learn together with the animals.

    -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 flexible, likes gardening, cooking , art and music and is good with children and animals.

    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

    You can help with an privat alternative project and get to know la Palma. We have a lot to teach and are always open to learn from others.

    The help with the horses is really magical and you are able to learn a lot about yourself.

    We also love to make music, to dance to play to be spontaneous

    If it resonates with you, we are looking forward to get a message from you.
