Yoga, biking, hiking, climbing and help with our permaculture-based garden in Rhône-Alpes, France

  Descrição

  10 years ago with two other couples I bought a 1980s farm building with land and we split it into 3 apartments. We share the 0.7 acre land around the building and finished the interior work. We have some garden beds, a chicken coop and chicken run, some fruit trees, and we've started construction of a walapini (a greenhouse that is slightly underground) - all with the aim of stewarding the land, growing food, and being a bit more self-sufficient using some permaculture principles. As it's under 1 acre, it's a small-scale project, not a farm.
  
  I live here with my wife Brya. I’ve studied permaculture and have been putting it into practice in the garden, taking it a step further each year. I’ve also found myself getting deeper into yoga, meditation and ecstatic dance in the last 5 years. It was through these interests and traveling that I met Brya who is a Tantra teacher. We have a vision to collaborate with others in the wide world of ‘well-being’ and permaculture to host workshops, retreats and mini-festivals, whether in this area or around the world.
  
  Regeneration of all kinds is also our focus. Regeneration of land, ecosystems, food systems, economies, energy systems, education, health and beyond. We’re also interested in conscious communication, indigenous ways of knowing, creative alchemy and the ongoing global shift towards interbeing and collaboration. In the future we'd love to collaborate in a larger permaculture land project and live in an eco-village, but we don't know yet where that would be.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Dan can teach some basic permaculture & building skills and Brya can teach yoga/meditation/Tantra. On Friday mornings, Brya leads a small community yoga class in our main living area, which you're welcome to join. Every few months she hosts a Yoga and Breathwork workshop here as well.
  
  The house is situated in a beautiful mountainous location with many hiking and biking opportunities as well as climbing and via Ferrata nearby. I have an assortment of basic bikes that can be borrowed.
  
  Morzine is the nearest biggish town (15mins drive), and the much bigger Thonon-Les-Bains on Lac Leman is 30 mins drive away. There is also a bus service to both places and beyond.

  Ajuda

  I have a number of tasks in mind including gardening (vegetable area, grass-cutting, possible hay-making for chickens and general maintenance). Chickens are shared with the other household, so there will likely be a little work looking after them. We also have a project building a semi-subterranean greenhouse which we plan to finish by spring 2027. Help preparing meals, mainly evening dinner. Cleaning. Could be a mixture of these depending on one's skills, interests, length of stay and time of stay.

  Acomodação

  3 bedroom newly renovated ground floor apartment. You’d have your own room and would be sharing the apartment mostly with Dan and Brya, or possibly another work-awayer or friends (this would be discussed beforehand). All bedding/towels provided, washing machine, WiFi and all household basics. Food can be discussed based on skills, diet, interest etc. We're flexitarian, eating mostly white meat, fish, dairy, vegetarian and vegan. We're gluten-free.

  Algo mais...

  Dan works as a gardener so is not at the house all the time. Brya is at home more often. We're mostly social in the home and enjoy sharing meals but we also like balance - like many people, we occasionally prefer to do our own thing, especially if we have a lot going on. Flexibility is welcomed!

  Pode hospedar nômades digitais

  WiFi is good here (we use Starlink), with use of my neighbour’s network as back-up. 4G is also OK here. I work from home around 2 days a week and am out gardening for 2-3. At the weekend I’m usually in and out of the house/garden or out playing in the mountains.

  Espaço para estacionar campervans

  It is sloped parking so you’d need ramps. It is also not very wide so only good for smaller vehicles.

  Pode aceitar animais

  Would need to be discussed first.

  Chickens

  Possible help required feeding and cleaning. We have only 7 chickens (possibly 4 more this spring), so they don't require much work.
