Who are we ?



François-Emmanuel MATHIEU - Professional path



After 30 years spent in France and Canada (Quebec) in audiovisual, ecology and creation, my atypical life path led me to transform the family farmhouse of Bacalan located in Mormoiron, a village of the Regional Natural Park of Mont-Ventoux (Vaucluse).

For 10 years, this place has become a space dedicated to creativity and resourcing in the countryside. My vocation for the human, a professional career in film and video, underpinned by the passion for photography and writing led me to publish news and to train me in the relationship of help.

These various experiences have allowed me to become a versatile "welcoming", in listening and simplicity : creative writing workshops ; fasting ; accompaniment around biographical writing ; internship Way of life – Potentials and resources.

La Source is a room adjoining the Mas du Bacalan dedicated to creativity and human development. His particular energy offers the possibility to reconcile my various passions. Bacalan has gradually become a place of healing and learning offering work room and group accommodation.
