    FULL FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER - SEARCH FROM 6 OCTOBER

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Hello,

    We are a new team working on this magnificent group habitat in Northern Brittany, near Plestin-Les-Grèves (22), 5 minutes from the sea

    We are:

    • Noémie, 32, former Nomad and happy single mother of little Zaïan, 8 months old, and deeply into permaculture. "On site, I take care of the greenhouse and the vegetable garden, and of course, my little Zazou."

    • Hugo, 20 years old, came to the place to avoid bad company and get back in shape: "At the place, I take care of the red fruits and the Volunteers' house. I fish a lot at sea, thanks to my dad's boat: fresh fish, lobster, etc... and I would be delighted to take you there!!!"

    • Rémi, 54, specializes in teaching traditional dances (Irish, Breton, couple dances – Mazurkas, Scottish, 3, 5, 8, 11-beat waltzes, etc.), whether traditional or neo-folk, and, more recently, I've become a dance master for medieval, Renaissance, and 18th-century dances. In our home, I mainly take care of maintaining the grounds (a farmhouse spread over 1 hectare) and growing yacon and goji berries.

    We are currently accompanied by a family consisting of a single mom (Claudie, 38 years old), Milan (13 years old), Melvin (15 years old), and Myrone (5 years old), as well as Kévin (35 years old), who bring joy and good humor to the place. They take care of the chicken coop (11 hens, 3 roosters, and recently, 11 chicks!!!), help with the maintenance of the estate, and refine their personal project.

    If you'd like to visit Brittany, if you'd like to learn or improve your skills in traditional or couple dancing, If you're considering getting your hands dirty and learning about permaculture, If you would like to learn caring for children AND can gain the mother's trust, Or simply, if you'd like to have a good time,

    We invite you to come and spend some time in our group accommodation, where you'll be welcomed in the volunteer house (with basic amenities) or in a tent if you prefer your own private space.

    We look forward to seeing you.

    See you soon.

    COMPLET POUR LE MOIS DE SEPTEMBRE - RECHERCHE A PARTIR DU 6 OCTOBRE

    Bonjour,


    Nous sommes une nouvelle équipe à être sur ce magnifique habitat Groupé, en Bretagne Nord, près de Plestin-Les-Grèves (22), à 5 minutes de la mer.


    Nous, c’est :

    Noémie, 32 ans, ancienne Nomade et heureuse maman solo d’un petit Zaïan, 8 mois et à fond dans la permaculture. « Sur le lieu, je m’occupe de la serre et du jardin vivrier et bien sûr, de mon petit Zazou. »

    Hugo, 20 ans, venu sur le lieu pour éviter les mauvaises fréquentations et se refaire une santé : « sur le lieu, je m’occupe des fruits rouges et de la maison des Bénévoles. Je pêche beaucoup en mer, grâce au bateau de mon papa : poisson frais, homard, etc… et je me ferai une joie de vous y emmener !!! »

    Rémi, 54 ans, spécialisé dans la transmission des danses traditionnelles (Irlandaises, Danses Bretonnes, Danses de couple – Mazurkas, Scottish, Valses à 3, 5, 8, 11 temps… Trad ou néo-folk et depuis peu, Maitre à danser pour les danses médiévales, Renaissance et 18eme siècle). Dans notre habitat, je m’occupe essentiellement de l’entretien du terrain (un corps de ferme étendu sur 1 hectare) et de la culture du Yacon et des Baies de Goji.


    Nous sommes accompagnés en ce moment par une famille composée d'1 maman solo (Claudie, 38 ans), Milan (13 ans), Melvin (15 ans) et Myrone (5 ans), Kévin (35 ans) qui apportent joie et bonne humeur sur le lieu. Ils s’occupent du Poulailler (11 poules, 3 coqs et depuis peu, 11 poussins !!!), aident à l’entretien du domaine et peaufinent leur projet personnel.

    Si tu souhaites visiter la Bretagne, si tu souhaites connaitre ou te perfectionner en danses traditionnelles ou de couple,
    Si tu envisages plonger tes mains dans la terre et t’initier à la Permaculture,
    Si tu as de l’expérience dans la garde de nourrissons ET que tu peux gagner la confiance de la maman,

    Ou simplement, si tu souhaites passer de bons moments,

    Nous t’invitons à venir passer quelques temps dans notre habitat groupé où tu seras accueilli(e) dans la maison des bénévoles (au confort rudimentaire) ou en tente si tu préfères avoir ton propre espace d’intimité.

    Nous t’attendons avec impatience,
    A bientôt

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    *I only speak French, so if you'd like to learn French, don't hesitate!
    However, Jerkatoo is fluent in several languages.
    *I'm passionate about the Hang drum (musical instrument). I own two, which I'm willing to lend. The melodious sound of this instrument is very pleasant and relaxing.
    *Traditional dances! Being very present at folk festivals, I know all the folklorists (especially in France, but also in Europe). I can easily introduce you and teach you the basic steps. The atmosphere is very friendly. It's a wonderful experience!
    *Justine is a specialist and trainer in energy healing and therapeutic massages.
    *Noémie is knowledgeable about permaculture.
    *Friendliness, sharing, smiles, and mutual support.
