Recent Developments

As some of you will know, we have just opened The Volcanic Earth Healing Centre at the renowned N. Michoutouchkine A. Pilioko Foundation, located just a few kilometers from Port Vila, Vanuatu on Pango Road.

I am sure that for those who attended the opening of the Centre, the image of the beautiful, young dancers with their gorgeous smiles is still with you. For those of you who missed it, here is a little peek to brighten up your day!

If you have never been to the Foundation or it has been a long time since your last visit, I encourage you to go, Apart from the all the unusual pieces of carvings, paintings and other artworks that have only recently come back from being on exhibition in Tahiti and New Caledonia for many years, the place is just breathtaking - full of colour, harmony and serenity amidst lush green, botanical surroundings and the soothing sounds of the gently rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean.

Simply unlike anywhere else in the world and the perfect environment for the Volcanic Earth Healing Centre.

Although the Centre has only been open for a few months, customers who have come for specific treatments and even half day indulgences (including lunch) have quite simply been "gobsmacked". Escaping from the stresses of modern day life has never been easier. Everyone seems to de-stress completely and meld into the peaceful yet invigorating tapestry of The Foundation itself. From mother and daughter combinations to husbands and wives, to romantic couples or people on their own, the result is always the same - total relaxtion and a feeling that they just experienced something unique and magical.

Complimentary refreshments are served after each treatment and clients can be seen sitting in the Tea House pagola drifting away into quiet, intimate conversations over Lemon Tea and fritters.

Even those of us fortunate enough to be living in this island paradise come under stress and strain through work, business and other reasons. So often, we keep putting other people or commitments first and forget all about ourselves.

Don't overlook being kind to yourself.

With holidays and Xmas just around the corner, why not book yourself in for a treatment? Just don't leave it to the last minute, as you may well miss out! What about popping into the Volcanic Earth shop located in The Adventure Centre (down the walkway to Uncle Bills next to the Drugs Store in Port Vila) and picking up a Gift Treatment Voucher for a loved one? These vouchers can be tailor-made to suit your budget.

Groups, including wedding parties and guests, are also welcome at the Healing Centre.

Appointments can be made by phoning Volcanic Earth on 26690 or 77 71684 or 77 46112.

A Little More On Nicolai Michoutouchkine and Aloi Pilioko

The contribution made by Nicolai Michoutouchkine and Aloi Pilioko to the preservation and promotion of articistic creations from Vanuatu and the South Pacific is staggering. For over thirty years these two extraordinary artists/painters travelled the world with their extensive collection of artifacts, carvings, traditional masks, paintings and other art works. The sole purpose of this lifelong endeavour has been to foster international relations with Vanuatu through bringing Vanuatu art and South Pacific culture to the world.

So, if you get the chance, especially if you have family and friends over, take the time to visit and support the Foundation and its work in showcasing to the world some of rarest artistic works from Vanuatu and the South Paific.. Entry fee is only 1,000 Vatu for adults and 400 Vatu for children. For very small children and Ni Vanuatu, entry remains free of charge.

Naturally, no entrance fee is payable by customers to the Healing Centre, so you could take advantage of a hot rocks massage or other treatment at the same time!

Just before I go, the N. Michoutouchkine A. Pilioko Foundation is an ideal setting for tropical Vanuatu island weddings (as distinct from the reception venue). Local Wedding Coordinators and other interested parties should contact Nicolai Michoutouchkine direct by phoning the Foundation on 27753 or 77 47753 or A/H 23053.
