ABOUT ME
I am dedicated to live and inspire a conscious & virtuous existence through the teachings of Yogic, Tantric and Shamanic arts.
Since childhood, I have experienced a deep and mystical connection with forests, magic, sounds and music... I am aware of having grown up in a privileged environment, however I felt deeply unsuited to the social model of our culture, which i sensed was devoid of benevolent authority. I was confused from a sense of inadequacy and yet lacking better references to overcome my own conditioning to numb emotions and a power-over cultural and relational model.
Over the years, the weight of my suffering and the intuition of a more virtuous life being possible, as well as my thirst for knowledge and my numerous travels gradually led me to discover other traditions and cultures that initiated me to knowledge and ways of life that I had not been exposed to: shamanism and alchemy's intimate connection to nature, the psycho-somatic and energetic openings of Qi Gong and Yoga, the practical wisdom of Buddhism and the Tantric art of living…
My experience is the result of more than 20 years of practice and study in personal development and the path of spiritual awakening. The main influences on my journey are meditation, which I discovered in 1998 (then Vipassana since 2012), North & South American shamanism (plant spirit, prayer and chant medicines), the power of rhythm and sound (sound meditations, TaKeTiNa rhythm journeys), conscious movement and energy practices (Yoga, Qi-Gong, Pilates, Tantra), many holistic therapies (involving body, heart and mind) and breathing practices (Bio-dynamic Breathwork and Somato-Respiratory Integration). more details here
Today and since 2017 I participate and assist in groups of men in the United States (in presence and online) with my mentors (David Deida, Christopher Sunyata, Eli Buren, Will Johnson) exploring the art of living in the Yogic and Tantric traditions.
I live in Provence with my wife Iris where we facilitate local workshops and group sessions of our various offerings.
