  Description

  Our place is an old farmhouse in Saint-Avé, near Vannes. The idea is to restore one’s peace and creativity, being and working with the horses, donkeys and other animals. Our place is an association that create links between people who want to work outside (and inside themselves) It was born from the meeting of Gaëlle (psychologist) Yvon (farmer) and Vital (martial art's teacher). In contact with animals and nature, we offer kids and grown-ups meditation and creative workshops, as well as psychotherapy work involving animals and art.
  We are five and 3 children, sometimes more, people living in some differents houses at the farm, the neighbourhood helps us and everyday some volunteers too.
  We believe in art’s healing powers as it has, for centuries, enabled to break boundaries, resettle people in the present, and because it requires awareness and accuracy, both in terms of intention and gesture. Donkeys and horses have a lot to offer to people in need of a break, or a change in their life.

  We’ve been there for 6 years trying to make this work, and your help would be most welcome! We can use any skill in construction and renovation – electricity, etc. – The main forthcoming works are the sanitization of an old farmhouse, and building a phytopurification system and pond.
  We are now building gypsy caravan and yourtes.
  And, of course, there is also work that doesn’t require any skill in particular and we have to make every day : gardening, tending the pastureland ( pick up dung, watching animals, etc...). And, if you’re into making (land) art, there is plenty of space for you to enjoy yourself.
  Every wednesday afternoon, some children come for a workshop, it's great to be there helping children to create and buiLd little things.
  
  Please contact us for more information. We are 10 minutes’ drive away from Vannes (train station and historical city centre), and 15 to 20 minutes’ drive from the Golfe du Morbihan. We can pick you up from the station or drive you on sunday to touristics places but the best for you is to have your own car.
  
  See you soon!
  
  Gaelle and Co
