The Kindar-Martin family

…and welcome to our new Blog !

Not too sure how it all works yet , but really excited to add that new little way of communication to the website.

It will allow us to share more with you all: music , videos , pictures …

so let’s try it !

2011 is gonna be amazing !

we have so much happening this year .

Satya and Gaba, who have been with us many times in the past, will join us at the Mas for a whole year to be our permanent WWOOFERs and help us with cooking and management.

We are about to start many  improvments to the Mas:

-new bathrooms under the terrace with two toilets , two showers .

-new building that will be a pottery room

-new wooden “yoga platform” of 18 feet by 27 feet with a pergola over it

-new terrace with a new roof that will later on host a new kitchen.

-new laundry room

-new garage

-new yurt platforms

-new yurt covers (waterproof , anti mold , anti U.V)

-a bridge over the river

-new : two tipis

SO … A lot !!!!! …. a bit overwhelming actually as we are days away from getting an answer from the bank as far as getting a big loan for it all . Actually , if it all gets done before summer , I think I will be pretty amazed , but we will do our best to keep our words!

We are getting 40 % of it covered by the “Region” and “European” help; that being said, we know that at the end of it all, it will probably be a bigger investment than we think but we’re game and very impatient to start the work, so let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Jade and I have been working a lot together on the high-wire lately, taking the kids with us all over the world: Paris, Hong Kong, Oman, Scotland,Germany, England and L.A.

Some of those jobs are good publicity for the Mas Pinet , two of them being international TV shows being shot at the Mas Pinet.(we will let you more about those when we are actually done with them … but it’s quite exciting !!!)

I love this BLOG thing … I have so much to say ! … Jade would say “too much” at time… but what can I do ? That;s just how I roll !  ; ) so ….Enjoy it if you roll my way !

For now , The Mas Pinet wants to wish you all a Happy New Year with the Mas Pinet’s very first song : Liquid Sky

If you haven t heard it yet , I encourage you to listen to it with intention.

It was written and sang by our first singer resident and dear friend Douglas Ladnier, after a four months stay at the Mas Pinet to refresh himself and find new inspiration for a new album. Here is the first song that came out of him … it talks about the Mas Pinet. (The first time Doug played it for us, acapella on the piano , it brought tears to our eyes)

ENJOY !
