Après une balade de découverte des plantes sauvages comestibles à Entraygues sur Truyère

This benevolent discovery of the wild plants of North Aveyron with Umun was a very enriching experience. In addition to the flexible walk, her approach adapted to each person according to their knowledge and her questions allows you to clearly identify useful plants, to taste edible plants safely, to clearly identify those to avoid. The explanations are always precise and educational with a practical concern (seasonality, harvests, conservation, uses, etc.). I really recommend it.

After a wild basketwork workshop at Crouzettes

"During this basketry course guided by Umun, I received something much more precious than a basket. I received knowledge transmitted with great simplicity and joy, giving me the power to make baskets until the end of my life. Umun is a transmitter of knowledge. His job is not to catch fish for us but to give us a magnificent fishing rod that we can improve at our leisure with practice.

It is with great pleasure that I reconnected with these first gestures of braiding plant fibers. Thank you very much for the transmission of knowledge and the refreshing of the memory."

After a stay at Les Crouzettes

A stay in a different world among these great silent Sages that are the Trees of the Crouzettes forest....awakened by the song of the birds, setting your gaze upon an ant at work in the morning.

Everything returns to its rightful place...the essential is at the heart of everyday life...in simple and very often forgotten gestures, like fetching wood then cooking over a wood fire, saving water, everything slows down in oneself and around oneself... the breath, our gestures.

A real time of joyful meditation!

After a family immersion

A grandmother and her grandchildren, 12 and 17 years old

making fire: they saw and participated in the preparation of the stages of the different techniques; friction and rubbing. It worked very well. Umum has real know-how, real practice.

Making a bow and arrows: same thing, it's not pretend!

After a mushroom discovery trip to Aubrac

Primary forest..., very mossy, walking on the edge of a large meadow filled with large-footed parasol mushrooms. In the moss, chanterelles in large numbers in groups mixed with the moss, small, numerous (...)

The pleasure is when you get home, to be able to cook the fragrant food, omelette, chips, with the pride of having been able to bring back such a full basket, sorting the known ones from those that raise questions. I recognize the sheep's feet, and the one that looks like a cauliflower, very tasty.

I had no problem, because it was clear in the explanations on site. Look carefully to see if there are slats or if it is pleated, the signature of the chanterelle... Be careful... Possibility after the fact to send a photo of what is in question.

Thank you Umun for all the knowledge you offer us.
