Week-end lancer son projet de transition

5 weekends to get your transition project off the ground. A chance to step back and decide on the changes you want to make: living in a more coherent way, in line with your eco-responsible values. Identify the barriers and motivations for changing your behaviour, become aware of the rhythms required for an eco-responsible daily life, take action and make a contribution, whilst respecting your own way of life; draw up an action plan for your home and receive support throughout the process.

2 sessions:

The first session, 26–27 September // 17 and 18 October: will focus on the reflection required before implementing an action plan

The second session on 23–24 January // 20 and 21 March // 22 and 23 May: will focus on implementation, support and follow-up to help you make changes to your daily life in the area you have chosen.

Suggested themes:

- water and energy resources,

- waste, wastefulness and consumption,

- food,

- transport.

Benefit from the energy of the group, various workshops and discussion sessions, moments of reflection using creative tools, and practical workshops on everyday life.

We are Violaine and Olivier. We have recently moved to Burgundy to live here with a keen awareness of environmental issues. To this end, we have set up La Cense des Possibles in an 18th-century farmhouse in the heart of the village of Darcey.

The house is spacious and welcoming, and our garden, orchard and vegetable patch are a real haven of biodiversity!

Violaine is a chef; she enhances our table d’hôte meals with fruit, vegetables and wild herbs from our garden and runs cookery classes. Olivier is a real people person and will help you discover the region.

Accommodation – We currently offer two accommodation options: a fully equipped studio and a flat with two bedrooms and a bathroom. As each room can accommodate between 2 and 4 people, you’re welcome to stay with family or friends. Pets are also welcome. In addition to your private accommodation, you’re free to use the shared kitchen, dining room and lounge. We treat our home as a family home where every occasion is an opportunity for socialising. Every month, we organise themed stays with activities that change with the seasons.

La Cense des Possibles is also a place of learning that fosters social connections. You can take part in these activities alongside other people living in the region.

- Workshops: cookery classes, creative workshops, zero-waste workshops, edible plant walks,

- Eco-friendly activities as part of participatory workshops,

- Cultural events: concerts, theatre performances, storytelling evenings, talks, games nights,

- Eco-friendly courses: multi-day retreats designed to help us change our behaviour in the areas of ecological and social transition.

An excellent way to learn by doing alongside others and to move towards a more frugal, fulfilling, local lifestyle that respects both our natural and human environment. At the end of each course, you’ll leave with tools and methods that you can put into practice at home, whether you live in the city or the countryside.

- Driven by the bonds we forge with our guests and neighbours, we’re always delighted to welcome you and share our experiences in a friendly and cheerful atmosphere.

Our aim: to inspire your daily life and your desire to embrace your ecological transition.

Does the word “Cense” intrigue you? It means “farm” in the Nord region, where we come from.
