About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in harmony with nature

ABOUT ME

We are a creative and shifty couple, nature-lovers and sociables.

7 years ago, after a long trip we settled down in a northern region of France (Picardie).

We rebuilt an house in an old farm , 9 months doing different kind of work like masonry,skeleton, roof, insulation, electricity, floor and internal and external finishes... and so on.

The time spent overthere gave us the opportunity to experiment and learn so many things about "sustainable ways of living". Building furnitures, green house, dry toilet, organic garden (fruits, vegetables, medicinal and aromatic plants), compost area, beekeeping...

On october 2013 we left the place we were living in and start travelling all around France to work as volountiers in different kind of projects.

For the moment we are living in a farm in the south west of the country. In this farm we'd like to develop different kind of projects linked to nature, culture and environmental education but for the moment we're just at the beginning. Living in a caravan, we can't host for the moment.

We are vegetarians and we love cook for everyone !

PHILOSOPHY

The Paradox Of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicines but less healthiness. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more copies than ever, But have less real communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall mean but short characters; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It’s a time when there is much in the window But nothing in the room.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
