  • Each tree is a musical instrument: the old oak a bass viol, the cypress a harp. Put your ear close to the whispering branch and you may catch what it is saying.

    Essence de la Nature

Essence de la Nature

Is an international group of Nature Lovers, committed to the prosperity, and well-being of all living beings.

We believe that in order to preserve its inner freedom, unfold its gifts and become more autonomous, humanity needs a deep connection with Nature.

We are committed to accompanying students in a process of “natural learning’’; through the experience of thinking, living and doing Together.

  • Our Vision

    We envision a world where people are fully connected to nature, their gifts and each other. A healthy culture within a thriving ecosystem, where the needs of every being are met in unity and harmony.

  • Our inspiration

    We observe nature very closely so that we can draw inspiration from it in our everyday thoughts and actions, guided by the intention to do our best.

  • Our Values

    We aim to balance tradition and new ideas. Freedom comes from self-determination and project organization. Autonomy is essential for sustainable projects and change. Sharing helps us grow together through our skills and resources.

  • Our Mission

    In a world where self-education is no longer an option, you get the chance to flourish with others families.

    Nourishing our Bodies’ needs; Taking care of our Soul; Following our Hearts’ inspiration, we contribute to a regenerative Nature’s Culture for many generations to come.

It all started with a drop of rain...

In February 2019, on a spring day in Vucje - Serbia, we jumped into our boots and headed to the garden to plant some seeds.

As you know, gardening with children is always a challenge!

Soon I find myself in the uncomfortable position of being the wet blanket: Don't go there, don't go too deep! Well, you know the rest!

Suddenly the rain starts to fall; let's go home!

Time to tidy up and the twins disappear down the footpath... I went with Gaya to the house to prepare the herbal tea. Thirty minutes later, as the rain poured down and my anxiety grew...

Smiling from ear to ear, their heads covered in mud, they're back! I had taken the water out of their boots when they left, barefoot!

I could have shouted: 'Go home, it's too cold, you'll get sick! But following my impulse, I followed them and jumped into the puddles... the puddles of LIFE!

Today, raindrops become rivers!

As a social worker, herbalist and nature facilitator, children inspire me in every workshop, especially when they push the boundaries.

Today, with seven years of experience, I'm rediscovering the harmony of being a child, a woman and a mother!
