**TALK: The Art and Science of Wellness**

Wellness is as much an art as it is a science. Science gives us the *what* and *how* – the methods behind our neurobiology and our innate capacity for healing. Art answers the *why* and the *who*, delving into meaning, intuition, and the depths of human experience that words and sight alone can’t capture. Together, we’ll bridge these two worlds and discover how to live our best lives.

Saturday 4
From 5 pm to 6:30 pm
Hosted by Alexandra Ilic and Marcela Narahara

Connecting with ourselves, with our bodies, to better engage with what surrounds us.
This workshop is an invitation to slow down, to touch and to listen to the stories that everyday life offers us.
Through clay, we’ll gather imprints of nature, objects and surfaces we encounter along the way. Small, often invisible fragments, yet carriers of memory and presence. What do these traces tell *us* personally? We invite you to follow your curiosity and enjoy discovering what the material conveys to your hands.

From 3 pm to 5 pm

**WORKSHOP: Word Collages**

A word or an image; tear or cut; colourful or black and white; glue – assemble – compose. That’s the direction this workshop will guide you in – the rest… is up to you to create.
Small or large format, abstract or figurative, emotional or rational – the final result doesn’t matter. Only the experience counts!
Join Élodie on a journey free of judgement or fixed destination. Simply allow yourself to let go, break free from conditioning, trust your intuition, and above all, dare to create something that reflects *you*.
A two-hour immersion in words, images, and textures – that’s what awaits you!

**WORKSHOP: Re-enchanting nature**

The Evolène region is steeped in tales and legends passed down through the ages — mysterious, poetic, or captivating stories that still linger in the landscapes and memories.
In the heart of the surrounding nature, we’ll take time to explore, feel, and observe with all our senses. By engaging with natural elements — textures, shapes, sounds, traces, and materials — we’ll let our imaginations run free. From this immersion, unique and heartfelt creations will emerge, along with our very own legends.

This workshop will take place in all weather. Please dress accordingly.

If a picture is worth a thousand words… what meaning emerges when images and text come together?
In this 3-hour workshop, Pascal invites you on a creative journey: in small groups or solo, craft images,
design layouts, and pair them with words. Whether you’re in front of or behind the smartphone lens—
as observer or creator—you’ll shift perspectives and make meaning…

**Sunday 5\n12:30–15:30\nLed by Etienne Frey**

A poetic and sensory journey through the body and our inner world. Inspired by the spirit of great expeditions, this workshop invites you to reconnect with yourself through movement, breath, touch, and creativity. Blending dance, art therapy, music, and dialogue in a gentle, playful setting, participants explore their bodies as living, ever-faithful *«architextures»*. The experience also nourishes the soul, strengthens self-connection, and opens a space for inner reflection. Myths, symbols, movement, and artistic expression weave together throughout.

**WORKSHOP: Landscapes to Hang**

An exploration of living inks, found materials, and the unexpected as creative matter.
We’ll set out on an expedition around the venue, searching for what lies hidden there. Using the materials we gather, we’ll craft inks, then tools and brushes from nature, before diving into a creative session.
The day’s weather – wind, rain, light – may become part of the experience, shifting, transforming, or revealing the evolving collective installation.
Through gestures, materials, and chance, a living form will emerge.
A workshop to experiment, feel, share, and let unfold.

Saturday 4\n9:30 am – 12:30 pm\nLed by Tania Tawadros and Coralie Germanier
