We run a variety of courses and retreats throughout the year from our home base in Colombières sur Orb, in the heart of the beautiful Haut Languedoc natural park.
Our values as hosts and facilitators are :
Communitas: welcoming you into warm circles of belonging here, as a conscious community
Soul: affirming and honouring our life experiences through beauty, meaning, ritual, creativity, gratitude and embodied practices
Permaculture and Animism: coming into relationship with all living beings, and practising systems that enrich the diversity of this land, encouraging all to thrive
This is a place to come home to yourself. To restore a sense of trust in life, and its basic goodness. To rest in the pleasure of your senses. To discover new possibilities, and to return to your life enriched and ready to give generously of your gifts.
