Descrição
I opened a healing retreat centre in south west France in 2015 with my late husband. I am ia writer and am working hard to make the retreat centre a success, but there is always so much to do.
The retreat centre is used for yoga courses, self-development workshops, shamanic trainings etc. Tasks could include pruning plants, cleaning, tidying up the grounds, planting vegetables - to create a beautiful experience for people attending the courses.
At other times of the year we need help keeping the outside environment beautiful: weeding the flower beds, straightening the sunbeds, hanging out washing, but someone flexible that could also turn their hand to painting furniture, or indeed help move it, popping into town to pick up lunch or some lightbulbs. Sometimes there are projects we all get involved with, other times there are things to do alone. If you have particular needs please let us know.
I am in the countryside a couple of km from the market town of Chalais. This is a quiet place, although Bordeaux is less than an hour away by train.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
I am Scottish by blood but have lived around the UK and in Egypt. I like to welcome people from all over the world and will include you in our family activities so don't be shy! Although this is France we speak English at home.
Ajuda
The kind of help we need varies each day. If there is a course going on then you would help us keeping the place feeling lovely. When the workshop guests leave we head outside to keep the weeds at bay. We have dug a vegetable patch and grown our own veggies this year so watering that too.
Our season is April-October so outside of those dates, during the winter, the tasks are more likely to be repairing, re-painting, tidying, cleaning.

Acomodação
Often a pretty bedroom with ensuite or private bathroom but it depends if we have lots of guests in which case you may have to share with a workaway of the same gender.
Algo mais...
It's very rural with walks and bike rides around us, a nearby river for fishing and kayaking and we have a swimming pool. The nearest town in walking distance is Chalais which is on the line between Angouleme and Bordeaux which are both nice cities to explore. We have bicycles you are welcome to use.
