Remember it?

Le creux dans mon dos
I think I can still feel it
Although I cover it with tattoos by now
Fleurs de coton, tendresse, branches et papillons
It is probably not a coincidence that I draw on my back all those symbols
In a search to get more tender with myself, to grow… even wings so I may fly and start to live

I love this book!

BIG MAGIC by 💜

When you choose the creative path, this is a must read! It isn’t some fake positivity but it does encourage you to thrive wonderfully, actually it encourages to stop thriving and enjoy the whole process: effort, work and persistence included.

Once again I intend to split my creative interests, practices and works into different instagrams.




The party is about to start ✨ Will you follow me?

Sending love & creativity your way. 🙏🏻

La symétrie d’une image crée une nouvelle image, un nouveau symbole. La première image regarde l’autre avec authenticité, la première image observe son identique opposé. Nous ne parlons pas ici du miroir qui nous reflète face à face et nous attaque de face. Nous parlons d’un reflet côte à côte, se tenant la main le regard vers l’avant. La symétrie raconte une nouvelle histoire, les lignes de rassemblent pour créer de nouvelles formes, les lignes se rejoignent pour annihiler la linéarité. Une unité de crée à partir du centre. Une expression naît et s’étant en direction de chaque coin. Une personnalité voit le jour. Un regard prend le dessus, la créativité s’éveillé et l’inspiration s’en suis. Chaque regard posé sur la symétrie des choses parle de lui-même en inventant son propre language symbolique et magique.

The symmetry of an image creates a new image, a new symbol. The first image looks at the other with authenticity, the first image observes its identical opposite. We’re not talking about a mirror that reflects us face-to-face and attacks us head-on. We’re talking about a side-by-side reflection, holding hands and looking forward. Symmetry tells a new story, lines come together to create new shapes, lines come together to annihilate linearity. A unity is created from the center. An expression is born and grows towards each corner. A personality is born. A look takes over, creativity awakens and inspiration follows. Each look at the symmetry of things speaks for itself, inventing its own symbolic and magical language.

A moment of awe
imprinted in your gaze…

*

Is it the ocean, eternal azure
vagues, brume et meanders
do I see mountains, eternal alleys
colines, brume et meanders
or is it the vast eternity of a field of grass
early in the morning, brume et meanders…

It could be anything spacious
anything infinite, unknown and exalting
anything infinite, familiar and exalting
anything blue, brown, green and purple
I see it:
depth of darkness, depth of lightness,
a profound gaze in a cloud of joy where you can follow the intention of the heart.

*

Let me pierce the magic through your eyes
every second I dive into your gaze.
The rest of the time I won’t look into your eyes,
I will scan your body- screen the places of hurts and discomfort,
I will emphasize the echo of your skin,
sculpt the delight of your unique auric form,
I will listen to your noises and wait for your silences,
I will not stay silent.

I will deep dive into your truth and perceive your lies,
I will tackle your doubts and endure your weaknesses disguised into strengths…

I will give you one chance, two, three, a thousand, and one last breath to realize…
before my departure into the great unknown of my own truth.

*

Beneath my retina will remain the imprint of your image and so will remain mine beneath yours.

In this way, we may close our eyes and remember what was once present in front of our eyesight and that we couldn’t see.

*

The eyelids are closing one world to open another.

*

In darkness we see the scene unfolding,
vision for the past,
vision of the future,
vision in the present.

*

Let it be today, yesterday and tomorrow
Let it be in times of joy, pain and sorrow
Let it be anytime anything anyhow
Let’s make sure that we reap what we sow…

*

Or was it a moment of growth
imprinted in your gaze?

Happy to announce the continuation of our CBC sessions in December✨

Time is changing to 6:30-8:30👆🏻

If you have been contemplating to join the previous month and haven’t made it yet; I hope to meet you through the practice this month. 🫶🏻

It’s getting colder outside and we tend to want to stay wrapped up in our cozy homes but what if we keep on cultivating the warmth & connections in the studios and enjoy this last month of the year in communities ? 💛

Let’s keep in contact, share process, soothe each other, recycle the energy & celebrate life & movement together! 🔥

Getting older and happier. For those who know me well, know that behind this pretty face has not always been a happy and positive person. I always tended to offer a smile and beautiful energy when I would show up socially but I used to spend many days home overthinking my life and desires, feeling down, anxious and sad, sometimes depressed and suicidal. I have never hide my easiness to cry when I needed to but I have also tried to protect others from my darkest times. I dwelled into my sadness many years and got comfortable in feeling powerless. I can proudly say that this year have been a turning point into my life and how I handle my emotions and hormones. Those who know me well also know that I often speak about my menstrual cycles as I have let them been incredibly weight-full on my life. 6 years ago I wrote “I want to suffer enough to understand that I don’t have to” and I can say that it has been my mantra since then. As many might hold this belief system too, I believe suffering was the way to deserve my happiness so I did also I couldn’t do other else. I don’t regret the suffering but today I’m deeply happy for the learning that occurs from it. It seems that I knew this was not the way to be but indeed it was necessary for me to learn through the suffering that I don’t need to stay into it. Today I am grateful for the embodiment. I embodied sadness and suffering to learn and today I proudly dare to embody joy and happiness and I keep learning.
I’m not joyful and happy every day but I’m more gentle with my bad feelings, more maternal and also more strict. I don’t let myself dwell into sadness for each and every things. I allow myself to grieve. It seems that I have learned to allow myself to grieve which is to me a full embodiment of sadness but as a process and stepping stone, no longer as a place to stay and lament myself into. You can see me posting so much about growth, personal development, healing and relationships and that’s just because I am as much doing the work, informing myself, learning, reflecting and integrating the informations. I’ve always shared much on this platform through movements and words and I wish to keep connecting with you.

Dear friends and community,
Here the update for the last event you could join this month. While Mondays & Wednesdays classes are still running, I warmly invite you the CBC intensive weekend workshop on the 18th & 19th of November.

What means intensive?
It means that within this 5 hours practice we’ll have time to build deeper connections through the practice & share deeper reflections to better develop and integrate together ✨

CBC is known to feel timeless as we enter a state of homeostasis (harmony of body, mind, heart and spirit) that we come to share collectively. As One and Ourself, we enter a space of exploration of movement, connection & magic.

CBC is dedicated to anybody curious & interested into exploring the depth of connection through different states & tools.

Contact Beyond Contact is not just about movement; it’s about understanding the psychology behind each movement. In Contact Beyond Contact we call this « Psychosocial Benefits » which adds value to our everyday life, at work, and in relationships.

In this practice, we seek to find authentic interaction led by expressing our authentic self which encompass finding true connection to ourself, our inner boundaries and core integrity as well as our intuitive desires without forgetting about our natural curiosity & playfulness.

I’m excited to connect with each of you and to experience this journey collectively.

If you feel call to join, contact me through phone +33672694224 or per email [email protected].

If your financial situation don’t allow you to pay full price, please do communicate with me 🙏🏻 Discount or other energetic exhange can be arranged!

After a first lovely & intimate Wednesday CBC class of the month, I warmly invite you to the next rendez-vous: the Monday Integrative Somatic Arts practice ✨

Oppositely to the CBC practice, we focus primarily on the self movement development, deeply tuning-in & defining our physical signature with the support of different states & tools.

ISA is a movement practice that was developed by after many years of research and development in diverse movement healing and spiritual practices.

This practice is dedicated to assist dancers and NON-dancers in their field of practice to heal and find harmony within the self.

If you feel overwhelmed in this moment, if you are getting anxious as the year ends and the Scorpio season is shaking the sh*t out of you then it is the time & space for you to calm down, take a deep breath & connect with yourself to start the week from a willing, creative & confident foot.

I am looking forward to welcome you into those Mondays practices. 🙏🏻✨

Drop-in class is 22.- and the package for the 4 classes is 80.- to be paid on the first class.

Private Message me for inquiries and feel welcome to ask me questions✨

If your financial situation doesn’t allow you to pay full price, please communicate with me🙏🏻

Sending you hugs & love.

English translation from Love Poems, 2017.

If I do a poems collection with all my Love Poems,
I may well entitle it “The girl I’ll never be again.”

Wait a minute: the answer is in the question? 🌀

Bring me back to this feeling. It was caressing my skin with the gentleness of all true pure beginnings. It didn’t ripe off my skin, it didn’t ripe off my heart. It was slow, tender and soft. I remember. It wasn’t. Some beginnings are not soft, but they are warm. Some mornings are hitching my nerves. Some mornings are slapping my face. My memory is in purge. I create new images for landscapes I never encountered. I create worlds that I won’t be visiting.
I create the ending of my own beliefs through untethered visions of the “presque” future.
I let the words slides my throat and their echo slick my neck. I am not longer here to be understood, neither to understand myself in concrete meaning. I take a ride with the abstract transportation of my feelings. I travel those landscapes I have never seen. I see them as real as I see myself... I envision a long trip to the place I belong. It might take a few years more or maybe I’m already there. I may think I belong to the journey, then I no longer need a destination but what will happen when I get old and tired of the transportation. What will happen when I get hold and tired of the translation. What will happen when… will always happen whatever happen when… will always happen something new and old. I am not only temporal, I am “momenteral” and like some flowers, I bloom, I fade and die within the span of a day. Yet, I still am and every morning sun is my most infinite momentarily pleasure.
