YOUR MICROADVENTURE WITH VANAKEIA
At Perma Social Club, we like to support meaningful initiatives that make sustainable travel more affordable and accessible to everyone...
So we've teamed up with Ben and Lisa from Vanakeia to offer a microadventure!
Want to go on an adventure, but don't know where to start?
Then this is the holiday for you!
Over the course of an immersive weekend, we're going to deconstruct preconceived ideas about travel, explore responsible alternatives and give you all the keys you need to organise your own microadventure. On the programme: inspiration, discussion, practical workshops and making your own travel diary so that you can leave with a concrete project.
A trip to think, experiment and DARE.
Because, as Alice says, the journey begins around the corner!

Travelling differently
Available in:
From 20 june to 22 june
Vanakeia was born out of a meeting between Ben and Lisa, two people with a passion for travel and ecological values.
The aim of the project is to offer unique holidays and workshops based on responsible travel, learning and encounters.
For this trip, we are partnering with Perma Social Club, and we collectively believe in tourism that respects the planet and local cultures, and invite every traveller to discover a more humane and sustainable way of travelling the world.
What's on the programme?
Friday: Welcome and connection
Installation, opening circle and a convivial dinner
Saturday: Explore and be inspired
The challenges of responsible tourism, the context of mass tourism, a writing workshop, a walk, discovering the site, exchanging resources, a ‘guinguette’ and a shared evening.
Sunday: Build and act
Mapping out your microadventure, structuring your idea, a creative workshop to create your logbook and a closing circle.
Accommodation
On the edge of the Monnier massif, facing the Thaurac and close to the Hérault river, your accommodation comprises a gîte and an adjoining studio sleeping 6 to 12 people: gîte for 6/8 people & adjoining studio for 2/4 people.
The gîte is fully equipped, in salvage mode: in other words, everything has been hunted down and refurbished... and that's your choice!
The gite has a large enclosed garden, and there are plenty of outdoor areas that groups can use for meetings, courses and workshops!
The large car park can accommodate cars and lorries... and we invite you to carpool!
