It is an opportunity to be grounded in nature and experience another lifestyle
Of benefit or interest to the traveller is to experience where food comes from, and being in nature.
How water is heated from solar and wood. I produce electricity from the water turbine and solar panels
You can have a hot shower every day if you wish. If there is no sun we light the stove to heat the water.
NOTICE This is not an oil fired central heating environment.
Sometimes we go sea fishing in my friends boat May to Sept. I also do Irish set dancing which you can try out , Basically I wish to show you a degree of self sufficiency , living close to nature and more importantly breathing techniques and meditation.
I can show you art , painting and composition.
If you arrive on a Wednesday or Thursday you are requested to do a few hours on Saturday
If you have read down this far use the words energetic experience when you apply.Arbeit
I need help in the vegetable garden transplanting, weeding etc. I need help in the ornamental garden cutting grass clipping hedges tidying up and so on. The tasks, jobs are not difficult just time consuming. I usually move the jobs around so you don't get bored doing the same thing all day.

Accommodation is in a small guest house next to the main house, there is room upstairs for 2 people sharing, in the colder months accommodation is upstairs in the main house.
There is no heating in the guest house at the moment, I will build a rocket mass heater there later.
All meals are included and in the main house which you have access to all the time. I enjoy cooking, there is always vegetarian food on the menu, I do eat meat but not much. I enjoy cooking but it is Irish this means rather plain and simple.Was noch ...
We live at the end of the road, with the wild mountain up behind the house. Walking on the hills above is quite breath taking. There are bicycles available to explore the valley. Stephanie takes helpers sightseeing along the coast. Bantry Town is about 12 Km. away. There are about 5 buses a day to Cork city. We enjoy keeping helpers minding them and making sure they have good experiences while here.
