Description
Hello open minded people . My paradise is located in front of the White Mountains (magnificent view), 500m from the first village and 7kms from a large seaside village with all stores.
I live in an olive grove with a garden for the vegetable that needs maintenance .
I have a mongolian yurt, a small house with kitchen , bath and toilets and a caravan for the volunteers . This is a place I have been preparing since 16 years ago and there is a lot of small things to do , to make it even better. Good hand helpers are welcomed .
For many years I have been involved in spirituality so with a group of friends we do ceremonies or meditations from time to time.
If someone wants to stay long and there is compatibility of character and ideas, he or she will be more than welcome . Because of animal abuse, I am now a vegetarian. -

There is a village at 2,5 km with a bus stop direction Chania(25 km), Rethimnon(33 km) and heraklion(110 km). We are sited at the foothills of the White Mountains so there are a lot of beautiful walks around here.
I also have 2 bicycles for transport. The villages around the area are very traditional Cretan. -

We spent 10 days at Joelles beautiful “paradise”. Joelles little farm is so peaceful and is a little slice of heaven.

Joelle made us feel very comfortable
