Rules
This is a self-management place and each person is responsible for its general maintenance. Please let me know when something is broken or out of work, so that I can resolve the issue!
It is important to me that the travellers can feel at home and express themselves.
Food and accommodation are for free in exchange for the help, all diets are welcome, but most of the time we eat vegetarian food.
Accommodation : a tipi, 3 caravans , 3 bedrooms. Beware, there is little confort !! You have to heat the water on the gas if you want to have a hot shower !! This simple life with small comfort is a path towards " Happy sobriety", as Pierre Rabhi says .
Peace and joy are first internal....
There is a washing-machine.
Volonteers prepare meals (whish are for free), this is part of the help time. We eat all together( often outside under the big oak) .
I collect a lot of building material, furniture and business for my project and therefore still be careful because there is a joyful bazar not always tidy !!!...
City people, are you ready ?!!....
I can pick up by car within a 20 kms radius at the railway station of Les laumes Alรฉsia, at the bus stop coming from Dijon or the Bierre les Semur motorway exit.
