    Descrição

    Our manifestation has come true.
    On our way to Italy I literally ran into it, in France. Sjoerd and I stayed with friends and went for a run and passed a farm that had been empty for years. The place never let go of us, even when we looked at many houses after that, this place was it. The fit was so well and we went for it.
    Now we are in full swing with renovating and the dream is gradually becoming reality:
    A property with 2,5 ha of land, in the beautiful countryside in France, self-sufficient, off-grid. Surrounded by lush nature, green hills and forests, which look like a fairy tale. It's quiet and peaceful. We are surrounded by loved ones, family, friends and like-minded people and are lovingly connected to each other. Together we enjoy the richness of life, everyone lives their full potential and is healthy. We eat fresh organic fruits and vegetables from our garden and drink spring water from our well.

    This is a non-profit project, where we are living and working together as a community; eating, singing, make music & campfires, chilling, meditating, enjoying the sunshine and the endlessly rich nature. Your are invited to contribute to what resonates at that moment with you. We also invite new creative input and a fresh view, it is wonderful to be able to share and receive in that way. Creating together is so much richer. At the same time feel free to take as much private time and space as you need.
    Taking steps in the process of slowly and organically unfolding, creating a new future.

    Irene and Sjoerd (54 and 59 years old) are originally from Amsterdam, the Netherlands and have been pioneers in many different work areas. They are always looking to work on projects that are sustainable, nature friendly, progressive and creative.
    Sjoerd has been working as a landscape architect for 25 years, specialized in rural landscape projects. After that he pursued his dream career as a musician and became an American oldtimer cars restaurateur. Irene started her career off as a professional photographer, which lasted for 16 years. After that she became a raw food and superfood entrepreneur and owner of a international raw chocolate brand. Nowadays, her focus is on being a spiritual teacher.

    Being an experienced builder with regard to previously building his own house and being a landscape architect, Sjoerd has tons of experience in building up from scratch. As a landscape architect he has been shaping squares, streets, parks, markets, etc.
    Irene is providing a space where there is room for reflection, winding down, creating room for interconnectedness from the heart.

    Regarding the building we are working with sustainable and eco friendly materials. Also using the natural stone, a way of masonry which is the speciality way of working of this area, the Creuse. Recycling building materials as much a possible, like refurbishing stone, wood, pipes, steel, etc.
