two places, one philosophy
Equine mediation, sensitive welcome, anchoring in the living.
Cheval & Terre d'Accueil is based on two complementary sites, linked by the same approach:
accompany children, adolescents and adults on a path of reconnection to oneself, to the body, to emotions, through the presence of the horse and a supportive natural environment.
The two centers share:
-
the same ethics of connection to the horse and the donkey, which are at the heart of the project. Without them, these places would not exist.
-
a strong educational and human commitment,
-
a desire to offer reception areas outside of institutional codes,
-
a deep attachment to nature, to calm, to caring for the living.
A living place, not a frozen setting
Cheval & Terre d'Accueil isn't a polished, smooth, and controlled site. Here, nature is at home.
Sometimes there is tall grass, a bit of dust, dung... and that's fine.
This place is not designed to impress with its perfection, but to offer a true, simple, and profoundly human anchorage.
It is in this somewhat wild, fully alive setting that we can reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.
