Description
Dear workawayers,
We are Sanne (44) and Marcel (52). A dutch couple living their dream in one of the most beautiful places in France. Here you can see more stars then you can imagine, hear foxes play and owls hunt at night. Here you can enjoy the silence, while birds of prey are gliding above the fields.
We came here to start a shamanic retreat centre. We give several retreats a year focusing on personal healing and getting in contact with nature.
Besides our business we are busy becoming self sustainable and living in harmony with nature as much as possible.
All the help needed is for private projects. You will not be working on any projects related to our business.
We like to welcome you in our own little paradise.

When you prefer a tent (with view!), there is the possibility of a shower tent and a compost toilet in a tent, or you can use our bathroom.
Meals will be together, but there is also the possibility to cook your own meal.
