Living in Flores de Vida  A simple way of life |

The place

...
Connecting the external environment and internal
environment. How things happen at "Flores de Vida"  Végan food is mainly organic and mostly raw (fruits, vegetables, sprouted seeds ...) We try to feed ourselves mainly out of the resources of the land, therefore there are more abundant periods than others, depending on the season, but also the number of person living on the place. Tobacco, alcohol,
coffee, and various drugs are useless
here : there is the sun, trees, nature ... I
propose to experiment: "just a hot drink in the
morning" (cleansing and awakening of the body), and
fruit a little later, when the body is awake. This will encourage the body, by listening to its needs, to learn to feed at its own pace (see page Hygienism). Therefore a "kitchen" area is available to everyone, which everyone is invited to use independently, when and as he feels the need. There are thus no formal meals. Maybe our needs will coincide, and we will eat together, maybe not. We will have, however, other opportunities to share in a session of yoga, taichi, songs, dance, meditation... Simple
food and simple comfort. This is both because the project
is in its very beginning - equipment is put in place
gradually: there is no running water, for example - and
because it is a choice to live simply. Thus there are no
tables or chairs in Flores de Vida ... in this way we are
closer to the earth.
Accommodation is in tents (which may
be provided, but if you have your own it’s good).
Dogs pose too many management
problems (barking, aggression, pee everywhere, droppings
...) for us to be able to accommodate them.
Cats, being major predators of
lizards, birds and squirrels, are not welcome here. So thank you for coming without them, and thank you for your understanding. In Summer it is (very) hot, and
it is better to begin being active in the freshness of
the morning. The activities begin at 7:00 am or earlier
for those who want to do yoga. |
