Who are we?
As interior decorators and builders of eco-friendly homes, we began by specialising in environmental therapy (geobiology and Feng Shui), before extending our skills to the human side by offering energy treatments. We've made your well-being a priority, and it's with this in mind that we've created L'Écolieu - La Bernarde in Dompnac, dedicated to accommodation, rejuvenation and sharing. Drawing on our wealth of personal and professional experience, we'll be able to support you on a variety of levels and according to your needs.

Our values
Driven by a set of ethical values, our eco-environment concept is based on 4 key principles.
As this lifestyle is based mainly on ecological energy and food resources, we aspire to be self-sufficient and to share this with our visitors.
Faced with the urgent need to protect the environment, we have chosen not to participate in the waste of resources and the continual pollution of the environment. For example, we have used natural, renewable or recycled materials in our construction. We obviously favour local materials, especially wood. We recover rainwater and have introduced a plant-based sanitation system. Eventually, the buildings will be equipped with autonomous, eco-responsible energy production systems, including solar panels.
Changing the way we consume goes hand in hand with the desire to get out of the ecological crisis. We are working to promote degrowth with the aim of putting an end to mass production, which is harmful to our planet and its inhabitants. For us, this means
- agroecology ;
- permaculture;
- mutual support ;
- exchange of services ;
- bartering
What's more, we stop over-consuming and make do with the essentials.
In addition to these 3 main areas, we could undoubtedly add conviviality. A model based on shared values, transmission and mutual support naturally encourages the sharing of warm moments. This is what we want to develop by offering workshops, seminars and retreats focused on well-being and personal fulfilment.
Becoming a "Living Craftsman" means finding the fluidity between yourself and the world, between your deepest aspirations and the reality that surrounds you. It means taking concrete action within yourself and in the world, individually and collectively.
It means rediscovering the simplicity of being a creator in the service of life.
