la geriais a beautiful place not far from Redon 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 workshops and retreats on different themes ; We eat organic vegetarian food
Joy, half owner of the place is a musician , violinist singer , runs a small choir and works as a craniosacral therapist and is also a music therapist she also works accompagning people on alchemical retreats which she studied with a sufi teacher and musician pir Vilayat khan and offers also the Dances of universal, peace in her workshops which include voice and body work , meditation and song and dance ;Maarten, musician , clown .... is still half owner yet lives here on and off in between periods away with a horse and wagon etc
Our aim here is to live well and in the present ,respecting nature , tolerant of each other , being true to ourselves and respecting and encouraging the special and unique gifts that each person has to offer , we are hard working and enthousiastic and ask for people who have this quality too and who are not afraid of pulling up brambles or piling up logs working together with etc !!! bUt of course respecting your limits !
we are living in a place where we respect the nature and practice self sustainable living; respect the earth as being part of us so honouring the land as ourselves ; One aim is to provide a place where people can meet live, laugh ,play sing , dance where art ,music ,theatre and good organic vegetarian food has its place too and we share these talents ;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 , 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 This spring we will finish the kerterre lime house ; 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 ;People are welcome who are both happy to work alone and together and willing to respect a simple rythm that we set up together to make the stay easy for both .
