La yourlotte aux Milaventures

<p>Greetings to all!<br /> We are Mr. Ganesh (draught horse), Macha (shepherd dog) and Mila (mischievous witch) with a dream<br /> <br /> Tracing the road together, walking along the <strong>Gaia</strong> Earth to the rhythm of our hooves, legs and feet, and throughout our journey, reconnecting with <strong>Mother Nature</strong>, rediscovering and sharing her benefits and wonders.<br /> To discover the world, its incredible diversity and unique beauty...</p> <p>Our journey will pass through many countries, knowledges and cultures, and will take us to <strong>India</strong>, the cradle of Ayurveda (Indian ancestral medicine) to discover its traditions, uses and benefits on our two- and four-legged friends.</p> <p>Mila studied veterinary medicine; passionate about animals, flora and the beauty of life in all its forms; this trip will be an opportunity for her to identify the <strong>Simples</strong> (medicinal plants), flowers and wild plants encountered on her route and their uses here and elsewhere.</p> <p>She wishes to bring together those different knowledges in the form of a <strong>book of recipes</strong> (medicinal, aesthetic and culinary) in order to share it with as many people as possible, both animals and humans.</p> <p>Through the writing of this booklet Mila would like to allow everyone to benefit from this thousand-year-old knowledge that is tending to disappear and to offer natural solutions to the technological or polluting responses that the modern world tends to promote.</p> <p>Indeed, the remedies of grandmothers based on plants have a lot to teach us and there is no doubt that a return to basics is the key of tomorrow.</p> <p>Nature is rich in magic and power for those who know how to observe and take care of it! Take our time, meet others, their culture and way of life, live in harmony with what surrounds us, rediscover a simple life and its benefits, limit our carbon impact,...</p> <p>These are points that are particularly close to our hearts and that we would like to highlight during this wonderful adventure.That&#39;s why we decided to walk and cross the countries with our <strong>Yourlotte</strong>.</p> <p>Entirely self-built by Mila and a few friends, it offers an invaluable support for exchange and sharing.We would like that this project brings together young and old and raise awareness of alternative lifestyles that respect nature.</p> <p>May those different knowledges, from one <strong>wisdom</strong> to another, be able to meet and share.We have designed this yourlotte in accordance with our environment, favouring local businesses and in a dynamic aimed at using recycled materials as much as possible, while limiting our carbon emissions.</p> <p>The structure is made of<strong> braided wicker&nbsp;</strong> that Mila was able to harvest from a friend&#39;s oseraie and mounted on the frame of a small caravan recovered from an old man.</p> <p>The inner fabric covering the structure was made from old cotton sheets collected from the red cross.The insulation on top is made of a <strong>sheep&#39;s wool felt </strong>purchased from a small contractor in western Belgium.</p> <p>Finally, the acrylic canvas that will be installed outside and will ensure the waterproofness of the yourlotte is produced by a company located on the French-Belgian border.</p> <p>The yourlotte will be heated with a small Belgian-made wood stove, and Mila would like to produce our electricity via a flexible solar panel.</p> <p>The travel of our yourlotte will be allowed by <strong>Mr. Ganesh</strong>, the quiet strength of our trio.</p> <p>Finally, a bicycle reconditioned by the expert hands of the ASBL Les D&eacute;brouillards will also be part of the trip and will facilitate Mila&#39;s movements during her bivouacs.</p>
