Eco-Centre
Construction of the Mélanzé Eco-Centre in Senegal: fusion of culture, science and sustainability on the shores of the Somone Lagoon.
Imagine a space where science meets art and culture, all rooted in the principles of sustainability and well-being. Located on the shores of the picturesque Somone Lagoon, the Mélanzé Centre is this dream becoming reality.
“A place where artists, researchers and wellness enthusiasts find common ground to collaborate and innovate.”
Four Pillars
Hosting
The Eco-Centre welcomes artists, researchers, NGOs and creators in residence. Work and living spaces built from local materials — adobe, straw, bamboo — provide a setting conducive to focus, collaboration and inspiration.
Artistic and Wellness Retreats
Immersive programs blending creative practices, yoga, meditation and connection to nature. A sanctuary to refocus, nurture creativity and reconnect with yourself to the rhythm of the lagoon.
Team Building
Tailored stays for teams and organizations seeking to strengthen cohesion in a regenerative setting. Collaborative workshops, outdoor activities and cultural experiences in the heart of the Petite-Côte.
Cultural Encounters
A space for dialogue between cultures, disciplines and generations. Concerts, screenings, roundtables, participatory workshops: the Eco-Centre is a living crossroads where local meets international.
