A unique experience
A rare moment to slow down, gain perspective, and openly question the choices that truly shape your life trajectory.
The concept
The concept
L’Arbre à Palabres is an intimate and inspiring gathering, conceived as a return to the essence of African dialogue: a space where we sit together, speak honestly, question our assumptions… and leave with greater clarity.
Built around the central question “What life are you choosing to live?”, this encounter invites you to explore your relationship with choice, the alignment between your ambitions and the way you live, and the posture you adopt toward time, work, success, and legacy.
In a soft, authentic, and confidential atmosphere, experience a deep exchange facilitated by a high-level expert, alongside individuals who, like you, seek to reclaim ownership of their life trajectory.
More than a discussion: a human-scale experience where every word matters.
Why attend this evening ?
A suspended moment, designed for those who feel the need to live with greater awareness, coherence, and impact.
- Access to a leading expert: Engage in an open and thoughtful exchange with a seasoned strategic advisor, accustomed to supporting leaders, entrepreneurs, and talents through pivotal moments of decision and transformation.
- A demanding space for collective reflection: No ready-made formulas here. Instead, a framework to ask the right questions within a circle of professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious minds who share the same pursuit: building a life that is more coherent, more grounded, and more ambitious.
- A unique experience at Villa Fanaka: Under a tree, seated on rugs and cushions, in a soft and soothing light, we welcome you into the heart of our offices to encourage honest conversations, meaningful silences, and lasting moments of insight.

I really enjoyed the evening. Facing the expert, the village elder, was a powerful moment. He was fully attentive and deeply kind. This exchange helped me become aware of certain personal realities and opened the door to deeper reflection. Sitting together on mats outdoors created a very convivial atmosphere. An initiative worth repeating.
These experts were there to talk with you.
