Joy is living in a beautiful place not far from Redon together with two other friends who are staying ina yurt and a van ; The place was bought as a ruin 30 years ago with 7 hectares of land ,a place full of natural materials, an old stone quarry in the woods near an old ruined chapel dedicated to Marie Magdalene and standing stones and near a chateau called Le Port D'or
We have slowly been renovating the buildings with little means but lots of enthousiasm and recuperated materials; We love nature and living a life in tune with nature; We run short group and individual retreats on different themes ; We eat organic vegetarian food

We have joined the French organisation of Colibri : with the aim to create an Oasis (Pierre rabhi) sanctuary where people can come and live together peacefully using the tools from non violent communication and collective gouvernance(in french) to communicate when needed , creating a place where we respect the nature and practice self sustainable living; organic garden ,fruit trees ;solar panels ,reedbed drainage and eat vegetarian food ; One aim is to provide a place where people can meet live, laugh ,play sing , dance where art ,music and good organic vegetarian food has its place too and have open days sharing these talents without needing other stimulants ; We do not encourage addictions and habitual use of alcohol and drugs is not part of our way of life ;
at the moment we need to do lots of clearing , planting ,preparing , weeding etc in the garden , and also the house drainage phytoepuration reed beds ; Another job required is to make more cabins and spaces so people can come on retreats and have time to listen within and celebrate their creativity, ; We have had wwoofers for 2O years here so we are used to having people here and Joy was brought up in a community in GB with lots of different people and 30 years of Wwoofers!
Our aim is to build up a small community of friends who share our spiritual values to care and respect for each other and the planet and work towards more unity and love in everyday life
at the moment there are changes and places open for people to come and stay for a trial period to see if they want to join the community
