Automn 2023
We are delighted to present our adult workshops, an invitation to personal development and the discovery of new perspectives. For this new season, we offer 3 categories of workshops featuring a variety of unique experiences:
- Timothée’s Yoga Sessions: immerse yourself in the ancient practice of yoga, let Timothée’s serenity carry you away and help you find harmony between body and mind.
- Thursday Afterworks: Join us for relaxing evenings of sharing, where you can relax with wine tastings hosted by Arnaud, our winemaker and gardener, or discover techniques for preserving vegetables with Anaïs, our market gardener. All this while making new friends with other curious souls.
- Saturday is perma day: Explore the secrets of permaculture and learn how to grow your own happiness in our vegetable garden with Mathieu, our permaculture farmer. Discover eco-friendly practices that contribute to the health of our planet.
At La Fontaine, each workshop is an opportunity to grow, to connect with nature and with yourself, while being part of a community committed to well-being and sustainability. Take a look at our calendar, book your space and get ready for some enriching experiences at La Fontaine. We look forward to welcoming you to our little corner of paradise.
