Where we go - Gang Of Witches - Living and creating in Nature

The Coven is GANG OF WITCHES’ sanctuary, artists from the gang live there and manage the place. We left the Parisian frenzy to live and work in the nature.

Nestling in the heart of a pines forest in the Mediterranean Basin, the Coven is all together a creative laboratory, a place for inspiration and reflexion and an experiment of a sustainable life in community.

We have reduced to the basics the objects of our daily lives in a perspective of logistic reduction and mental relief.

We produced more than one third of our food thanks to permaculture and our energy with solar panels; we aim for zero waste; we compost, we recycle used water to water the plants.

At the center of the Coven, a workshop for plastic arts and a recording studio allow its occupants to create continuously. Works from the artists occupy each corner, grouped as singular altars, before being sent all over the world, like emissaries of transformation.
