Hello,
I'm Christel,
At this moment I live here on my own with my son Simon.
4 years ago we have made an ecological swimming pond in the garden with three months of help with you, volunteers! the pond is finished, purifying flowering plants and nice to swim ! thank you all!
for now, I'm looking for help in the garden, the forest tends to take over the open spaces, that means that the blackberries prepare the parts close to the trees
so more trees can grow, I'm fan of blackberries, they give nice fruit, good tea, and a place for the eggs for some butterflies, but for now I want to have some parts clean again, ... so if you have the courage to this, I would be very happy! there is other work too in the garden, like re-organising the wood shed, , clieving wood, dismantling some wooden bedframes, to recuperate the wood, .....
I pick and dry a lot of herbs, So helping me with fine-making and potting is also welcome,
in the garden I have a cocos-bio bed to purify the wastewater of the house, this needs a renewal of the cocos-fibres, where all the little good bacteries live on to clean the water, so I can give it back to the earth , that means scoop out all the material that is composting now, making a new compost-pile and then refill with fresh cocos-fibres
we live at the end of a little road in the woods, nearby a little city, 50 km from Brussels and 25 km from Leuven
Inside the house, we have a lot of wood and round forms with cob-walls.
there is a lot of little corners, edges, parts of cob inside the house that still want to be completed and with a sponge made round and soft and harmonic

many things to experience :) it depends on your interests. I'm used to get to know you and then I can propose possibilities.
there are a lot of nice walking and biking routes, we can lend a bike for you.
we live close to the little towncentre of Aarschot, with some medieval nice buildings, tower, bridge
if you like to visit cities: Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp can be reached by train in less than an hour.
When there is an opportunity I like to take you for a swim in natural water,....
we eat together and it's an opportunity to have evenings with laughter and games, or with philosophic/ spiritual exchanges, or just quiet rest. My way of living invites you to encounter, live and feel alternative ways of making society. I'm also in LETS (local exchange trading system)
and involved in a foodforest/permaculture project on 15 kms.

Living with the family is on the whole very quiet. Everybody is often tired in the evening, so you shouldn’t expect to spend hours talking with each other. This can be good if you want to take some time for yourself 😊 You’ll have your own room in a wooden caravan outside the house, so that you can… read more

We spent just 10 days but we learned so much and had a really great time.
only good things to say, thanks so much christel and peter !
We had good conversation with Christel and Peter and learnt about their way of living.
We recommend these hosts, who we felt went beyond what would be expected.
