ilke worked as a qualified social worker in Arizona and was active in the division management of youth welfare in northern Germany. Her work in management, coaching and as a sports trainer completed her training.
She has been practicing Reiki for over 18 years and has the teacher master degree (4th degree).
She acquired the training in detoxification and Californian massage 4 years ago in a holistic training at the Yoga-Viedya Ashram in Germany.
Jörg is a bricklayer and well builder and has worked as a development worker in West Africa. Here he had his first contact with shamanism. In France he completed an apprenticeship as a farmer and trained young people on his organic farm as a “maître exploitant”.
He has the Reiki teacher master's degree (4th degree) and training in hot stone and crystal massage, lithotherapy and nutritional advice.
We have been living on our self-developed organic farm in Brittany since 2012, and have been members of an active druid circle with joy ever since.
We are looking forward to your visit!

I can use a lot of words for my experience here, which I will, but if I needed to put it in one, it would be 'perfect'.
This place was just paradise for me. It's just beautiful here. As you enter the premises, you can feel the calm entering your body. Here, you don't need to do anything. You can just enjoy the amazing area, view and in the night the beautiful night sky. It is super quiet, and there are lots of animals around keeping you company. The toilets and showers are outside and super clean. When I arrived, I thought I wouldn't leave anymore. But, after resting here for 5 days, I felt rejuvenated to continue. It is truly a healing space.
How was the contact with the host?
amazing. Jorg responded immediately on my request for camping and both Silke and Jorg are very welcoming and open and approachable.
Tips for new guests?
Just go and see.

The name of this farm does not come from melons but from the meaning of the word in the language Elvish, invented by JRR Tolkin. Mellon in "Lord of the Rings" means "friend".
Jorg and Silke are members of a druid group and live according to the rhythm and with respect for nature. Jorg knows all the trees and plants on their domain and during a tour you also get an interesting insight into the history and way of life of druids.
On the domain you have different types of unique accommodation options. The toilets and bathrooms/showers are completely self-built with recycled materials and offer everything you need. An outdoor kitchen is also available.
How was the contact with the host?
Silke and Jorg are not only sympathetic but also interesting. They have a slightly different story than most of us and that is what makes staying with them special.
Tips for new guests?
Visit La Petite Filature Bretonne. This is a few km's from the campsite and there you can follow the whole process from freshly sheared sheep or goat's wool to a ball of knitting wool. Local sheep and goat farmers bring the wool of their animals here and 90% of the knitting wool also goes back to these people.
