What we do

Oasis créée en août 2011 en Sud-Aveyron sur les “Terres de Rougier” d’une ferme du IXe s. :
35 ha de terres diversifiées, en bonne partie cultivables avec sources, rivière et bassins de rétention.
Le ruisseau (le Len) longe les champs tandis que de nombreuses ravines collectent une importante quantité d’eau utilisable pour les cultures. Deux mares temporaires accueillent une grande diversité d’espèces, tandis que la construction d’une troisième mare, permanente, a permis de disposer d’eau tout l’été.
La ferme comprend 560 m2 de chambres et espaces communs, ainsi que 1000 m2 de dépendances, dont deux superbes granges aux voûtes romanes.
L’acquisition de ce magnifique domaine a pu se faire grâce à des prêts solidaires, venus à la fois des résidents et des amis du groupe.
La structure administrative de l’Oasis de Lentiourel consiste en une Société Civile dont les seuls associés sont trois associations autonomes, responsables de trois secteurs d’activités :
– l’AREL (association des résidents de Lentiourel) : accueil, aménagements, réparations, éco-constructions ;
- LES JOIES SAUVAGES : jardins, gestion des ressources naturelles, permaculture, soins à la personne ;
– l’AEH (Atelier d’Exploration Harmonique) : création artistique, organisation d’activités et manifestations culturelles.
L’Oasis recherche entre autres des personnes compétentes dans la restauration de patrimoine bâti, l’écoconstruction, et accueille des porteurs de projets : permaculture, co-création, culture et transformation de plantes, apiculture, soins à la personne, activités artistiques, etc. : toute activité prenant soin des ressources naturelles, du vivant, s’intégrant au paysage, se montrant respectueuse de l’environnement et ouverte à un échange de savoirs.

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
