Movements
All our meetings are intended to be favorable to social, ecological, economic, cultural and spiritual exchanges in order to create real convergence towards a more harmonious world, by establishing solid and lasting bridges. The Team wishes, through each of our events, to contribute to the strengthening of human capacities, to highlight our infinite riches by combining ancestral knowledge and current sciences, in the service of Life.
The wheel of time or principle of the 5 elements
The theory of the 5 elements is a way of representing the world in its greatest beauty and in great simplicity. We find this vision in several cultures around the world, notably in Asia (the wheel of the 5 elements) or in the Andean cultures (the Chakana).
Our association has chosen to adopt the theory of the 5 Asian elements: Wood, Fire, Metal, Water, Air and to honor one of these elements each year!

Mr. Pierre Rabhi did us the honor of introducing the first edition of our festival with a love letter, because he was invited elsewhere. We let you discover it and taste, once again, the committed gentleness of this man who left for other places, some time later.
“Dear friends, dear friends, dear all,
It is with great regret that I cannot be with you today for this meeting “In the name of Mother Earth.
I would particularly like to apologize to those who probably came from far away and whom I will not be able to meet. Given the circumstances, I am trying with this little message to share with you what is close to my heart. You probably know that the question of first peoples, of root peoples, has touched me for many years.
As proof, I had the honor of prefacing two works dedicated to them, that of Pierre de Vallombreuse “Les Hommesroots”, a very beautiful book of photographs, and that of Sabah RAHMANI, “Words of Root Peoples, Plea for the Earth » this to confirm my attachment to these people.
Indeed, my affection for these communities has long been hurt by the condition imposed on them throughout the world, announcing, in the long term, their total eradication if general opinion continues to consider them as remnants of a world forever gone.
They are, for me, the essential witnesses of a perception and a conception of life which the whole of Humanity, in the doldrums and meaninglessness in which it is bogged down, will need more and more.
I wish you beautiful and enriching encounters,
To all with my deepest friendship.”
Pierre Rabhi - March 2020
