Where Life Happens Together

Where Life Happens Together

It all begins simply — sharing a meal, going for a walk, discovering new places side by side. We believe deeply in the power of doing things together. Whether it's crossing a quiet valley, cycling a winding country road, or simply sitting under the same sky — something profound unfolds when we move, connect, and explore as one.

For the past two summers, I’ve journeyed through Burgundy. The second time, I was joined by Monique and Dominique. We met in Chagny and took off from there — not racing, but riding with patience and presence. We waited for each other, laughed at wrong turns, and paused whenever the moment called for it — once at a bus stop in the rain, another time in a picnic area in Santenay. On two wheels, we found freedom. And this summer, we’ll do it again — in Orléans — because the joy of the journey multiplies when it’s shared.

Then there's our yearly gathering in Sierra de Guara — a rugged land of canyons, rivers, and echoing gorges. With old friends from Barcelona, we dive into early canyoning adventures and long conversations — catching up on life, politics, and everything in between. Fitting into wetsuits becomes a group effort, full of laughter and teasing — helping each other squeeze in, tug up, and zip closed. Some of us have changed shape over the years, others not — but we’re all there for each other. We hike together, swim through narrow stone corridors, rappel one by one, wait patiently, and end the day around a shared table — exhausted, laughing, alive. In these canyons, and in the spirit of this group, we discover something essential: we belong to one another through shared experience.

This is the heart of our vision — togetherness.

We imagine a world where older adults and people of all abilities explore without limits, connect through meaningful encounters, and embrace adventure. A world where inclusion isn’t a program — it’s a way of living, of moving through the world, of being fully present with one another.

We envision retreats and journeys that awaken the senses — the aroma of fresh bread, the sound of flowing rivers, the crunch of gravel underfoot, the warmth of laughter around the table. Through story, place, and presence, we aim to break barriers, create meaning, and celebrate life — together.
