The Padaw’Ânes association offers you a moment out of time, of real reconnection with nature in an environment populated by benevolent animals.
Animal encounters and introduction to animal communication, the Padaw’änes association is a resource place that invites you to feel well and let go.
The gentle Eléa Schermesser had the idea of offering animal mediation to people in emotional difficulty and to disabled children, a method that has already proven itself. Today, it is aimed at as many people as possible through its association Padaw’ânes, at the foot of the Pyrenees in a real little paradise for animals who feel so good there that they manage to appease the ills of those who come to enjoy the well-being emanating from this place, yes nature is queen. Éléa immediately puts the visitor at ease and as soon as the gate closes, she takes you into another world, a bubble where you can take the time to get back to basics: “I do animal mediation since 2018 even if the association has existed since 2008. My goal was to support people in physical, mental or even social difficulty. Finally, it is something that affects everyone because it it’s about connecting with nature, disconnecting from living things. The basis is taking care of yourself”.
many animals
The animals have gradually established themselves as partners who have become essential to the operation of the association: “They arrived more or less without the knowledge of our own free will”, jokes Eléa surrounded by sheep, donkeys, goats, rabbits, dogs , ducks, hens, horses, guinea pigs and cats, sorts of associates particularly invested in their respective missions.
It was also with donkeys that the association first worked: “We know horses with equine therapy, but donkeys are different, they have a more placid side and this allows people to be touched. who are not necessarily riders. I started with a little donkey picket to get the children to enjoy their environment”.
An activity summarized by Éléa: “Animal communication is a method of silent communication, of the telepathic type, which allows us to come into contact with a living being. It is a real school of relationship. It invites us to discover, to see, to smell, to feel, the depth of the being with which we wish to come into contact. It is also an exposure: we cannot cheat”.
“Non-verbal communication”
Whether it’s during the course, for the day or for the session, Eléa will certainly be able to find what best suits each of the participants: “It’s subtle because it’s something that happens on its own because 93% of our communication is non-verbal, like intuition for example. We adapt to the needs of the person or the project with the help of the support teams or the parents or even my own person”.
Convinced of the benefits of animal mediation but also many other proposals made on the spot, the young woman would like to open her sessions to as many people as possible: “It’s true, I would like to open to people who burn out or depression, in fact, to all people in difficulty because it can bring them well-being to be, for an hour, disconnected from their worries and to connect to something else”.
