Each soul has devoted themselves to tend the seeds of this body of work, growing and sharing the blossoms of their love and labor in their own unique and diverse ways.

What I enjoy is creating spaces where fullness/emptiness - light/darkness - silence/movement - simplicity/complexity - heart, mind, body and soul, dance together. We are together – as human beings on the ground of infinity and boundaries, combining creative tools of movement, colors, nature, systemic therapy.

HERE AT LAST
And I finally showed up in my life
And it's halfway through
And that's how long it takes
To undress myself of everything
Everything that is not mine
Unclothed at last
I am here
At the centre of my own life
At the centre of my own life
