Description
Hello hello !!
My name is Fleurs (She/her), I am transfem a non binary person and I am looking for queer and feminist folks to help with a collective project !
Every summer small queer events are organized in the deep forest (see pictures and comments about the land). The place is gorgeous, there is a river, a prairie, some big magic stones and even small waterfalls…
I need help during June to improve and prepare the land for the events.
The tasks will be things such as :
- Cover a wooden yourte structure with wood planks, make it waterproof and cover it with dirt and plants, build walls and a solid ground...
- Tream trees and weed to keep the land clean
- Build dry compost toilets
- Build showers
- Make a big colorfull queer painting on a 2mx3m wall
- Paint a wooden cabin
VERY IMPORTANT : I am looking for queer and feminist people conscient and educated about systemic oppressions such as sexism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, biphobia, ableism, ageism, etc… Allies and People questionning their gender identity and/or their sexual orientation are very welcome too !!!
I need help from June the 1st to June the 30th
I prefer if you can stay at least 2 weeks... There are 6 beds in the house so if you want more intimacy you can bring your own equipment and sleep in the forest (camping, bring a tent and sleeping gears !!) there is access to a hot shower and a collective kitchen.
THE FOOD IS NOT PROVIDED !! but there is the possibility of self organizing collectively to buy what we need and cook together.
Participation is based on free will, there is no amount of work expected, and you can choose what task fits you best on a daily basis… Listen to yourself and take care, you diserve it ;-)

Accommodation
It is located in a valley, a prairie surrounded by forest and crossed by a fresh and clean river (drinkable water after filtering or boiling). Lots of wildness and beauty. There is no car access, only a small dirt road through forest, it looks like a bubble of nature outside of the modern world…
The land is located in Creuse (Limousin) in the middle of France. It is a wonderful nature preserved area (no factories, no big cities, only small fields and forest hills...). Friendly neighbours, quite life, amazing wild nature...
There are lots of fruit trees already planted that start to give fruits !! A nice forest for sleeping, a river to bath, a kitchen, dry compost toilets, a bit of sun and joy, what else do we need ?...
The collective living space is a small wooden cabin built on a piece of land in the lost french countryside. No big cities, no cars, no pollution, only green grass, flowers, small trails, trees, old style farmers, wild animals (and cows of course...)
Toilets are dry compost toilets. There is a washing machine for laundry. The confort is basic, don't expect anything fancy or like a modern house, basically you can prépare yourself to go camping into the wilde.
There is light, electricity, hot water and internet wifi.
Food is not provided, only accomodation is offered. i don't want to create a relationship based on commercial exchanges ("i work because you give me food, i give you food because you work for me..." is not my philosophy. I think that it is important to base our exchanges on happy gifts and free will rather than obligations and measurments... And also the festival is a non profit event and I don't have a lot of money so I can’t afford feeding an entire team during several weeks... I don't want you to feel forced to work because I buy food for you. I prefer this kind of relationship where we both feel free to give what we can and want... I can teach you rock climbing in natural areas, playing guitare, mathématics, or Shibari in exchange for your help ;-)
What else ...
The land is located in Creuse (Limousin) in the middle of France. It is a wonderful nature preserved area (no factories, no big cities, only small fields and forest hills...). Friendly neighbours, quite life, amazing wilde nature...
