What we do

L’Oasis du Coq à l’Âme, en Charente, est à la fois un collectif et un éco-hameau expérimental et solidaire, intégré à l’écosystème et au territoire.
Nous sommes un collectif de 20 foyers composé de citoyens animés par l’évidence d’habiter, vivre et agir de façon éco-responsable sur nos territoires, sur notre planète.
Nous avons commencé notre voyage en 2016 lorsque notre groupe s’est d’abord constitué autour d’un projet “Oasis”, inspiré du programme Oasis du mouvement Colibri.
Installé depuis fin 2021 sur le domaine d’Échoisy à Cellettes, un ancien hameau accueillant déjà depuis 2016 une ferme pédagogique et une ferme produisant de la spiruline, le collectif incarne les 5 invariants des Oasis : autonomie alimentaire, mutualisation, ouverture sur le monde, gouvernance partagée, sobriété énergétique et écoconstruction.
Véritable “Laboratoire Vivant”, il est encadré par un Comité Scientifique, afin d’expérimenter un moyen désirable et accessible de vivre avec un impact minimal sur la nature. Pour ce faire, il s’est doté d’une organisation sociétale, coopérative, résiliente et solidaire, de façon la plus indépendante possible des énergies fossiles.
Heureux de pouvoir partager cette aventure, nous accueillons, sensibilisons et formons les personnes désireuses de passer à l’action concrètement pour œuvrer à la transition sociétale, écologique et économique.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
