This laboratory, a moment of learning, of exchanging grandmother’s techniques and recipes, of experimentation, of re-invention of knowledge, is a space-time conducive to reflection, to debate between participants around subjects such as phytotherapy, permaculture and the different means at our disposal to become more autonomous and take control of our health, by rediscovering the power of plants.*technique consisting of extracting the properties of a plant by infusing it in oil.
