About Terre d’Essènci

Mission & Vision

Terre d’Essènci exists to offer a living sanctuary where people can reconnect with nature, with themselves, and with what truly matters. Rooted in biodiversity, ecology and human resilience, our mission is to create immersive experiences that support inner transformation and sustainable ways of living.

We believe that personal healing and ecological awareness are deeply linked. Through retreats, stages and shared experiences in nature, we cultivate presence, autonomy, connection and respect for all forms of life.

Our vision is to contribute to a more conscious, resilient and compassionate world by nurturing humans who feel grounded, empowered and deeply connected to the living Earth.
