The Cathedral of the Simples is a plant-based architecture paying homage to the knowledge of the past, to that of our time, and to the exploration of future knowledge.

But behind the poetry, the place is first and foremost a scientific laboratory in the heart of the Mousty woods, where the study of plants and the exploration of the human psyche meet.
The simples – that's what these medicinal plants were once called – become companions of initiation here.

Beyond the gardens and all the species that inhabit them, the place hosts rigorous reflection on mental health, inner states and collective dynamics.

Here, science engages in dialogue with lived experience. The forest acts as a third party: it contains, it slows down, it connects.

It is a place for research, deep listening and sharing. Here we explore what it means to be alive — biologically, psychologically, collectively.
