Description
When I took part in a week of community life try out, I fell in love with it.
I like being in nature and in a natural state of being, taking care of myself and my surrounding.
I love gardening, animals, helping out in the kitchen... And in general anything with interaction from the heart, sharing & caring.
I have a specific interest in edible weeds. I love to explore my environment and discover what grows and can nurture us.... how to work with the abundance of nature.
I am always open to learn new things, and explore new ways.

More details about your skills
I lived for 4 months in a small yoga center in Spain where I took responsibility for the land: the irrigation systems (keeping the canals open, bringing the water to the land), weeding, trimming trees, making the place more beautiful (f.e. by hiding hoses).

I also invested a lot of time in the dogs: 2 energetic ones who could use some training and a lot of walks to channel their energy. Some people had troubles with their wild behaviour. After watching the dogs and people for a while, I could see and understand the underlying patterns. And with the help of other volunteers we learned the dogs new behaviour: f.e. instead of jumping in your face to get attention, to go lay down at your feet. I could see the dogs got more relaxed, because now they got what they actually wanted: just some loving attention.

I loved to jump in whenever there was something to fix. I am a creative problem solver. And I like to take some responsabilities, when I feel capable 😉 In the other case I love to be guided, or just follow the flow of someone more experienced.

In general I am a very sensitive person and I am more and more able to use this as a gift by being open to the natural flow, and also taking my responsibility when I feel something is off, so things can be aligned again. I love open communication, loving understanding and respect for each other, and an open space for being. From this, work can flow and be enjoyed.

Peyloubère is an international community where very unique individuals create a beautiful place, together with local people (gardener, house help, farmers...). It is beautiful to see how much attention there is for the local French commmunity and how this gets implemented in practical ways very naturally. It is a sign of the general openness that… read more

Sofie was a delight to have in our community. We’ve had several Workaways over the last 3 years and she is up there with the best. She was interested in our community, has a good sense of humour and is intelligent. Sofie was with us for just over one month and during that time cared for our two dogs with care and attention to their individual… read more

This is a very lovely and unique place to be... in so many ways. I felt very welcome and accepted from the very first moment. Everyone is taking care in a very unique way. I think it's because this place and its people just invite you to be who you are and to feel comfortable in the community, and this is why you feel connected with yourself,… read more

It was such a pleasure having Sofie with us! She effortlessly blended in and embraced our way of life here. She worked hard in the garden, always with a positive attitude, and was happy to put in extra hours when needed. We shared many lovely conversations and moments during the evening ceremonies at the temple.

Thank you, Sofie—we’d be very… read more

I really enjoyed my stay. I felt very welcomed by Thibaut & Hanna, very lovely people. Also other people of the community where very kind. I felt very free to join any ceremony if I wanted. For me, the community was new, but a very nice experience! I even miss the evening kirtans! Such a nice way to end the day.

I loved working in the garden. I… read more
