Le Temps des Savoir-Faire

In all seasons, we offer outings and know-how workshops in the natural areas of Île-de-France to learn how to interact in harmony with local nature. Sculpting a wooden spoon, getting to know wild plants and their uses, learning about pottery in the great outdoors, making a wild wicker basket, designing a permaculture garden…so much know-how that we pass on with a unique method. We transmit each know-how starting from the resource in its natural environment. Each outing therefore begins with a walk and for those including manufacturing, follow an outdoor workshop of manual practice with the resources discovered during the walk. Each animation therefore respects the following 3 steps: 1. Identification Identification and harvesting of the resource in its natural environment 2. Learning Learn about its characteristics and uses 3. App Application of know-how through the transformation of the natural resource Animation examples: - Birch Sap Harvest - Tasting of forgotten flavors - Charcoal making - Making a harvest basket - Making a wooden spoon - Making a Native American dream catcher - Introduction to clay and its uses - Discovery of clay and its uses - Introduction to basketry - Discovery of basketry - Learn to light a fire - Primitive Feeding Organization of team-building on demand around the discovery and tasting of edible wild plants.
