Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
私は、瀬戸内海に浮かぶ島の一つ・向島で、オーガニックコットンのハンドメイド服をつくりながらアトリエをひらき、自然食品や日用品の販売、量り売り、オーガニックレストランの運営、一組限定の宿をやっています。
母、私、娘の3世代で、畑はぼちぼちと、毎日手作りの無農薬無添加な家庭料理を食べ、元気に暮らしています。73歳の母は、一度も病気をしたことがなく、先日ろっ骨を5本折りましたが、2週間で完治するほどとっても元気!私たち家族は病気知らず薬要らずで生きていく術を、食から&仕事の仕方か&心の持ち方(明るく、何事もおおらかに、揉め事があってもひきずらない、など)から実践しています。
来てくださった方には、季節の手仕事、発酵食品の作り方、柑橘のジャムや加工品づくり、家庭料理の作り方、洋服の作り方などをお伝え出来ます。
自然に沿った健やかな暮らしをともに共有できたら嬉しいです!
