With Vera Schütz
For 15 years Vera travelled all over Europe with her own street theatre company. It was a life as hectic as it was enriching – but she nevertheless chose to leave it behind, tired of fast-paced living and the constant shifts of energy and bearings. Vera returned to Entrecasteaux in 2016, her hometown in the Haut-Var, hoping to reconnect with herself and with nature, and wishing to slow down and get back to basics. Vera has always been drawn to the world of plants and their many health benefits. Healers in ancient times had always interested her, and awakened a thirst for learning. She then chose to train professionally in phytotherapy and aromatherapy.
