Alexis Roman
Alexis a créé l’association Rain Drop (www.rain-drop.org) en 2010, afin de venir en aide à des villageois indiens souffrant de sécheresse et de les soutenir dans leur démarche de développement économique et social. Après avoir passé 5 ans en Inde, il délègue désormais la mise en œuvre des projets à l’équipe qu’il a formée. Il a ainsi du temps pour développer de nouveaux projets au Togo et gérer l’Oasis de l’Aube.
Our encounter
We met in 2009, during our Masters degree in Environment and Sustainable development at SciencesPo Paris. A common vision and our passion for nature, solidarity and the spiritual path inner quest led us to dream about a place in which we could live according to our values and beliefs. A place of peace, nurturing and sharing. We wanted to show that other models of development and relations to others were possible, without having to negate comfort or modernity. This is why we created l’Oasis de l’Aube (Oasis of Dawn), a space in which you can rest, learn, break away from negative patterns, to better connect to your inner self, others and nature.
Our friends
Yamuna
Yamuna’s days consist of sleeping, playing, staring at butterflies and eating. Her presence reminds us of the simple pleasures of life and the importance to take the time for an afternoon nap !
The horses (Jupiter, Pepsi, Géant, Billy & Cooper) are with us daily. Constantly connected with nature, they live in the moment and are imbued with an infinite wisdom. They also help with healing processes during workshops on animal communication.
