“An abbey of light for an autonomous future”
The Abbey Project: between tradition and modernity
A spiritual center with global influence and an ambitious objective: to train elites for the spiritual awakening of France and Europe
Supported by AltVik, professor of Modern Literature, jurist and 2nd dan Kinomichi – Vision of a community uniting the best of spiritual traditions, permaculture and Budo.
Project Vision
This project aims to buy back an old abbey with its lands to make it an interreligious spiritual center, preserving the essence of universal traditions. Inspired by Rabelais' Thélème Abbey – where free will reign in harmony – it integrates permaculture, Budo (Aikido, Kinomichi, Taïchi), yoga and manual/intellectual alternation for ecological and community autonomy.
Objective: Renovate the abbey into a resilient ecovillage, like the TERA projects, merging ecology, Asian martial arts and personal development.
Founding Principles
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself” – Central Christ principle (Matthew 22:39), call for radical empathy and unconditional love, a reflection of divine love for others as well as for oneself.
“Keep the rule and the rule will keep you” – Inspired by the Rule of Saint Benedict, a framework of monastic discipline protecting vices (thoughts, tongue, hands), promoting obedience, humility and life in the eternal present .
- ❖ Selective interreligiousness: The best of each religion and the refusal of divisions, Buddhism (Shiatsu), mystical traditions and yoga.
- ❖ Daily autonomy: Budo practices in the morning, permaculture in the afternoon, intellectual circles in the evening – sociocratic governance.
- ❖ Integral ecology: Permaculture land for self-sufficiency, zero waste, local currency.
Activities and Daily Life
Benedictine inspired alternation: Ora et labora (pray and work), adapted to the modern with AI coding for community simulations and digital content (WordPress, LinkedIn). Each moment cultivated in the eternal present, uniting Aikido and permaculture in pure consciousness.
