This course is a time shared between young people of different origins in search of coherence between a desire for personal fulfilment and a need for a foundation on which to make future choices.
In a nutshell: «How can I make my personal path part of a collective destiny? Where do I fit in?»
The privileged setting of Vézelay, with its beautiful landscapes and architecture, will be a call to open your eyes and marvel.
Eight days will be devoted to a gradual approach to human resources, aspirations and struggles, in the light of the stories carved into the stone of the basilica 900 years ago.
The days will be punctuated by times of silence, listening, writing and sharing.
A walk in the vicinity of the hill, the awakening of the voice through singing, the relevance of the gaze through drawing, will constitute the warm-up for the morning.
