  Description

  Hello my name is Anna-Mia, I am in the SW of France in the area of the Perigord/Dordogne. I live in a new build house, a "low-calorie house" of wood. I take care of 3 horses and would like to create a permaculture vegetable plot. I do "energy-healing" sessions, mainly local customers.
  
  I need a person for september, twice one week. The work that needs to be done is sandpapering beams of the terras on a stepladder and put on a produkt. And clean out a ditch, shovel out the mud that is filling up the bottom. So one week for each job I think. If you are strong and very fast maybe you can do it all in one week. I have only one spare bed in my workroom so I can only receive one person at the time unless you have a tent.
  
  The area of the Perigord is beautifull, undulating hills, forest, farmland and picturesque villages. The magical atmosphere of the river Vezere adds to the attraction of this area. Furthermore it is famous for the prehistoric cavepaintins, cavedwellings and castles and fortified villages (from the 100 year war) If you have your own transport you have the afternoons to visit these places, if not I will take you around a bit in the weekends and maybe even during the week depending how the work goes.
  I am starting to move in the direction of eating vegetarian, any help with learning new recepies is very welcome.
  
  
  For those that like to work with horses, they are not trained to be mounted. I have started training them according to the method of Klaus Hempfling, but now work with them in the sense of "self-development" . And they are training me in "being" instead of "wanting" and "imposing". So we do have a very different relationship than the usual horseowner with riding horses. The horses are good with therapy work and they love doing it.
  They are already 17 and 21 years old, and very natural.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I have a Dutch nationality with Dutch-Indonesian roots, work as a healer. I know quite a bit about the area, I can make time to show you some very interesting sites, villages and landscapes. I cook french, dutch and indonesian, with or without meat. We keep our horses in a natural way, no horseshoes. You can get acquainted with "family constellations with horses" if there is one organized in the period of your stay.
  I lead a life that is as ecological as I can afford, try to practice our philosophy of "one-ness".
