  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  The center of our ethos is that everybody has the potential to bloom and grow. If blooming for you means helping design and build an amazing set of gardens and learn how to teach others how to do the same in person and through video, this could be for you. If blooming for you means working in a creative musical environment, then this could be for you. If blooming for you means shamanic journeying with the help of others, then this could be for you. Do you want to write a book? make a film? build a tiny house, learn how to grow organically, harvest ethically, and make medicines that work in line with your body's needs, this could be for you. I (Fran) am well informed about special diets, especially gluten and dairy-free.
  If you love music, good debate and conversation, gardening, fowl, and don't mind getting your hands dirty with physical projects, we may just be perfect for each other.
