Instructor: Jenny Alfonso Relova, self-taught artist, interior designer and 18 years' experience of independent living in the mountains. The course will run for seven days, with advance booking. Maximum 7 participants.
Jenny will teach you various aspects of self-sufficient living: the garden and how to maintain it; natural meals; lacto-fermentation; making rustic baskets from garden and forest finds; building with natural materials: wood, earth, aerated concrete, stone; different types of natural insulation; recovering materials and how to reuse them : pallets, earth, tires; collecting rainwater, using it wisely, treating it upstream and downstream using phytodepuration; wood-fired heating, how to use it, how to collect the ashes and make your own washing powder to wash and scrub everything; transforming the orchard and vegetable garden into various body-care products, eg: making balms; renewable energies and their use: photovoltaic and thermal; gathering edible and aromatic plants; natural paints (lime, linseed oil) and their use; earth and lime plasters; how to use garden tools. The course will be enriched by a number of speakers, including a workshop on dehydrating food and raw cooking (Sylvie P.), homeopathy to treat plants and the use of the pendulum (Luciana).

As a gift, you'll receive a guided tour of a permaculturalist's garden, a visit to the farmers' market in the village of Sospel, and one shiatsu massage per person (Sylvie B.).
