Voices of former participants:
“Taking part in this course very much supported me to find direction in my life. The questions asked and exercise we did, taught me a lot about myself, what I have to give and how I want to live. Thank you for these magical days in the beautiful Jura!”
“Cecilia and Valentina manage to create such a beautiful atmosphere of feeling welcome and at home, that made it easy for me to explore myself and connect to the others. I made wonderful new connections that I feel grateful for. I also very much loved the diversity of activities, for ourselves, in pairs or in the group, being outdoors… I can very much recommend joining one of their courses if you wish to connect more deeply to yourself in a group setting.”

Cecilia Furlan co-founder of the Swiss organisation "Les Coccinelles" and since 2010 she organises International youth exchanges and trainings on re-connection to nature, oneself, much more and beyond. She's allergic to the unjust, capitalist and insane trend of the system since very early in life so by the age of 22 she started living on the edge of society by experiencing eco-villages and communities around Europe. She studied Political Science but her authentic vocation which became “work" turns around hijacking normality by peaceful means like creating spaces of living community, horizontal decision making, eco-feminism and permaculture. She is mother of two wonder girls called Camelia & Magnolia (Bumbi). On this youth exchange she will provide all the ground that makes this possible and guide you through the Authentic Vocation journey through practices like Morning Circle, The Work that Reconnects, Open Space and Nature Quest. |
