Remembering the power of community, of singing as one, of belonging to a chosen family. So much separation, division, fights and wars in this world, coming from that forgetfulness, that we belong. We belong to this Earth, to this land, that is everyone’s and no one’s; we belong to the immense, diverse, rich, and beautiful human family, that has no race, no color, no religion.
Thank you to all the artists spreading prayers of faith and peace, in the trust that one day they will be heard, and lived for all living beings.
Thank you for your endless generosity, naturalness and humbleness
@ for the mesmerising organic sounds
And for opening your space and caring for the extended family
And to dear musician friends & @

Solstice, light offering. The rock people have invited us for their celebration. Some are white and crumbled, other striped with nuances of sepia. New beginning, thanking the loyal sun that rises each day, the longest light illuminating the shadows, praying for that light to reach the places in the world that need it the most.
We’re walking in the forest, a kitten jumps from a tree, misses his brunch, ends up in the mouth of my dog, instantly elevated as a sacrifice. We’re all shocked, he has already forgotten. Death and endings are so part of nature. Humans reject, fight, cling, in a vain attempt of trying to defy nature itself. Chants and roses to accompany the instantaneously liberated soul, sun goddesses’ hands in the earth to cover the empty vessel, fire guarding sacred. Grace of realising Death as Space.
Thank you .lioness for the beautiful ceremony and invitation to share my voice and prayers
Thank you for the crystalline sounds
Thank you for the capturing those moments 📷
And everyone that was part of this memorable day & night.

2025. The end of Kali Yuga era. The big cleansing is happening and this starts by our relationships, our relationship with others, our relationship with ourself and the way we show up for our planet. Truth coming up, people from your past resurfacing, karma and deep old patterns unveiled like never before. Nothing is being left out. If you’re feeling it too, breathe deep my friends. This is Kali’s initiation and we’ll get stronger on the other side. And above all, more real. Sacred destruction and restructuration. No more lie or pretend. Chaos can be artful. Enjoy the ride. To freedom!

With all those years of self-development, teachings, medicines, I can transparently say: I don’t know anything about anything. I actually know less than ever before. I have glimpses of thinking I understood, finally got it, grasping on the breakthrough, when life suddenly crashes everything down showing me how little I know.
What to do when I have no more belief, teaching, tool to grasp and hold on to? I can only pray. I can only trust in the perfection of life, exactly as it is. All decisions are leading to the very same place. To home. The hard way is leading home. The easy way is leading home. The spiralling way is leading home. In that realisation, I drop all worries, attempts to control, take decision, change my path, change myself. Life is taking care. Every time I think I have power over it, I enter in a mental struggle trying to figure things out, with an un-present state that delusionaly looks through the spectrum of past, future, and wrong proof-analysis.
I am saying that today, light and free. Tomorrow I’ll be back into the loop of self-obsession getting absorbed in the great drama. Acting from my wounds, remembering my story, justifying my emotional state, words and reactions, and my whole life with that story. I’ll be trapped again.
Once the work of writing our own myth is done, when we’ve understood where we’re coming from, why we act the way we do, this too must be dropped. I am already free from all my wounds. They are not the ones entrapping me, but my attachment to them. The attachment to the unworthiness, the victimhood, the fears, the worries, the helplessness, the insecurity. It runs so strong and deep.
So how to honour our humanness and welcome every single bit of the human experience while not becoming trapped in the story and its suffering? And when we finally detach from the whole story, how can we do so in the most loving, soft, all-embracing way? Without avoiding, bypassing or becoming a cold robot making their way out of the drama through resistance and rejection?
I don’t have any freaking answer to this. Remember? I don’t know anything. I am dancing through life praying and trusting my body knows its way.

Year of the Yin Wood Snake.
Animated red bodies, dislocated quadruple legs, dancing buttocks and tales. Packing life in a closet and a backpack. Snake of renewal.
I see the Future holding hands to the Past, befriending each others. Mrs New says to Mister Old: I see you, I welcome you, you can do it, soon you’ll be ready to let go of my hand and let me take the lead. It feels tender, vulnerable, strong and firm. Trust. Presence - nothing more, and everything more birthing through them.
Tensions feeling like embraces, unknown like deeper certainty, detachment like stronger commitment. Deepening sense of home when home is nowhere but NOWhere.
Angels on our path as confirmed reflections of how much we love ourselves, allowing to receive. Braided dreams of a world that cooperates and moves together in a single dance of thousands unique steps. Promise of the Mother Land to nurture body and soul. Animate colours, juicy fruits and offerings, plant teachers, ancestral chants, drum beats beating hearts and feet. Dreaming reality. Give me an attachment, and I’ll reduce it to ashes, from which I’ll draw the life you never knew you had always been dreaming of. Life technology fascinating orchestration. Snake shedding skin in shady shelter. Obscurity as the sacred oven for light. There’s no going back. No one will escape that awakening. All this time, we are the ones we have been waiting for.

8-day home dieta with Bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia), a sacred plant from the Amazon rainforest. Home dietas have become such a deep practice of mine. In many ways, they’re more challenging than those in the jungle—requiring greater discipline to maintain the process amidst the movement of everyday life. And yet, this is when staying centered is most essential—a sacred pause to pray, feel, sing, and connect with Spirit and Self.
Bobinsana is a shrub with delicate pink flowers, vibrant green leaves, and deeply grounding roots. Even when scattered by a storm, she blooms anew in just two days - a real teacher of resilience.
Known for her heart-opening qualities, Bobinsana can heal heartbreak, grief, and ignite lucid dreams. She can bring deep cleansing of the past, profound emotional and spiritual healing, clarity, and inner strength. She has anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and immune-boosting properties, and enhances vitality.
This dieta with Bobinsana was soft and tender yet radically moving. She called for a cleansing of the past, flooding me with emotions, and throwing me through deep layers of grief. She guided me to clear 15 years of accumulated emails and photos, confronted me with some old shame, made me grieve for past suffering. A lot of tears flowed, my dreams brought profound insights and magical worlds, and my heart burst wide open.
I’m filled with gratitude for this work. Plant dieting is a powerful path—one of deep study, healing, and embodied living.
If you’d like to know more about home dietas, drop a 🪷.
I’m also preparing a long online course on integrative shamanism—combining plant dieting, Spirit work, trauma-informed practices, voice and movement medicine, and more. Stay tuned on .earthweavers

All the intentions that have ever existed are saying exactly the same thing: I WANT TO LOVE.
When you wish to find your purpose, meet a partner, have a fulfilling relationship with them, when you wish to marry, have children, create exciting projects, find a job, go on a world adventure, to be rich, to serve, to heal, to be happy… All are screaming the same longing: I WANT TO LOVE.
To Reunite, to Re-member.
Even when you wish to die, you actually wish to love. To find back the wholeness of your untamed Spirit, that is Love, that is YOU.

So grateful for this weekend of transmissions with the for “The Great Change and the Dawn of the Future Human”. The Gene Keys have been since 5 years one of my main practice of self-contemplation, a very deep yet simple tool for the transformation of our shadows into unique gifts and to harmonise our genius, relationships and prosperity.
It’s so needed in our world to find inspiring leaders that are living in transparency and integrity, that are aware and honest about their shadows and committed to transform them, holding a healthy leadership, yet still able to build a prosperous business that is infused with service and philanthropy at its core instead of greed and self-interests.
It is so vital to cultivate discernment about what and who we choose to invest for, where is our energy, trust, money going to and how will that money be used for. Carefully looking at the values, actions, accountability, language, heart of the leaders you choose to follow and always remembering your own ultimate sovereignty as no leader, teaching, practice or tool will ever be your saviour.
So thankful for this community of sharp and open-hearted beings in service of the whole.

Just came back from a weekend of Rite of Passage, a culmination of a 3-year journey for the teens of the Core program created by .experiences. Throughout the years, each adolescent was paired with a mentor and engaged in monthly gatherings led by different facilitators. They learned new skills, received new perspectives for life, explored arts, spiritual practices, survival techniques, went out in nature and developed tools to navigate this transformative stage of life. They built deep friendships and a sense of belonging.
I was truly moved by witnessing the challenges of adolescence—the emotional ups and downs, feeling confused and unsafe at times. Yet, I saw such boldness and raw authenticity, such courage and strength in showing up as their true unapologetic selves, such talent, creative vulnerability and boundless genius.
I had the privilege to mentor one of the teens for some months and it was for me a reel tender and vulnerable experience.
Last weekend during the Rite of Passage, I was playing the role of the Unknown, hidden in a cave, waiting for them to face their fears. It was a metaphorical encounter representing their transition from childhood into the uncertainty of adulthood. A moment for them to find courage and trust in themselves to take the first step into the unknown.
This made me reflect: in a society where we’re no longer go through rites of passage, how do we grow from adolescence into fully embodied adulthood? Outside of religious traditions that still create some forms of those rites, how can we guide our youth through this primordial transition? How can they develop, cultivate and thrive in their gifts in the most responsible way for the world?
I was really inspired by this weekend of Rites of Passage, feeling a strong necessity to return to ancestral practices. We need role models and elders we can trust and look up to, who can share transmissions and wisdom from their life experiences and guide our youth on their path to find their truth and uniqueness.
We are the elders of tomorrow. What kind of role models do we choose to become?
Eternally grateful to .experiences for the opportunity to learn and serve.

After participating in two to***co ceremonies and a two-week to***co diet over the past month, I’ve been reaffirmed that to***co is one of the most powerful spirits one can communed with. It has acted as a sharp sword, cutting away everything not in perfect alignment with my integrity—aborting projects, severing karmic ties, and transforming relationships. From this spaciousness, miracles have emerged, bringing forth gifts I never imagined possible in this lifetime. Family healing, new horizons opening... My connection with this spirit of the divine masculine has deepened, teaching me to trust, rely, and surrender to its wisdom. An unbreakable trust in life and in this medicine path.

Aho to the rock people
There’s no other place than belong them
To feel the strength of our being
Unshakable, unbreakable
Through the waters of uncertainty
They remind us of the majesty of our nature
The indigenous call them “people”
How different the world would be in a world where plants, animals and rocks are called “people” instead of “it”
Today, swimming into the touch of a teared heart and a misted mind, I felt held by the circle formed by the rock people.

I am a sound therapist, composer, breathwork facilitator and shamanic practitioner.
After years working in an office, I found this environment was too restricted for the tons of things I wanted to do, learn, see, feel… I quit my job, my apartment and went to travel Asia. On the road, from country to country, I found myself.
Since my young age I was always fascinated by sound and explore it as a cathartic channel. During my journey, I notice how sound has a primordial role in the connection to the spiritual world, like a door that leads to deeper levels of consciousness. I meet spiritual masters who teach me how to use sound as a way to heal and repattern our system at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I learn from them sacred music instruments and chant techniques: gongs, Tibetan bowls, therapeutic tuning forks, mantras, overtone singing… I was trained by many teachers including the great Gong Master Baba Don Conreaux and the therapeutic tuning forks pioneer Dr. John Beaulieu.
I apply in my work scientific and spiritual ways to work with energy and vibration as well as ancestral knowledge from the shamanic tradition, working with the spirit world, using sonic driving (drumming, rattles) and occasionally plant medicine.
Recently, I was initiated to shamanic breathwork (breathwave style) and found in breath a guide to land in the present moment with awareness.
Je suis sonothérapeute, compositrice, breathwork facilitatrice et practienne chamanique.
Après des années à travailler dans un bureau, j’en suis venue à la conclusion que cet environnement était trop restrictif pour la vision étendue que j’avais du monde et ce que je voulais faire, apprendre, voir, sentir... J’ai quitté mon travail, mon appartement et me suis envolée pour l’Asie. Au cours de mon aventure, de pays en pays, je me suis trouvée moi-même.
Depuis mon plus jeune âge, j’ai toujours été fascinée par le son et l’ai expérimenté comme une catharsis. Durant mon voyage, j’ai pu remarquer que le son a un rôle primordial dans la connexion au monde spirituel, comme un portail qui mène à des niveaux plus profonds de conscience. J’ai rencontré des maîtres spirituels qui m’ont enseigné le soin par le son afin de reprogrammer tout notre système à un niveau physique, émotionnel, mental et spirituel. J’ai été initiée aux instruments de musique et techniques de chant sacrés : gongs, bols tibétains, diapasons thérapeutiques, chant overtonique... J’ai appris de plusieurs maîtres tels que le grand gong master Baba Don Conreaux et le pionnier en diapasons thérapeutiques Dr. John Beaulieu.
J’applique dans mon travail des méthodes scientifiques et pratiques spirituelles pour travailler avec l’énergie et la vibration ainsi que du savoir ancestral issu de la tradition chamanique. Je travaille avec le monde des esprits en utilisant la guidance par le son (tambours, maracas) et occasionnellement les plantes médicinales.
Récemment, j’ai été initiée au breathwork chamanique (breathwave) et j’ai trouvé dans la respiration un guide pour revenir au moment présent avec conscience.
