My life has been and is a big adventure, I am just turning 30 and I feel I already had three or four lives.

I felt drawn from my childhood to things that were out of the Box. At 2 years old, I was speaking about Death and with 5, I already had a collection of different types of crystals to test their effects. Then, I started to explore the world of music, Chinese culture, and Nature. I was shy, introverted, and very sensitive to other's people's emotional bodies.

One common thing I experienced is that I naturally was going for what I felt an attraction to.

That is why with 16, I head off to China for a year, in total immersion like a teenager's life there back in 2008's China. That one year experience (thanks to AFS) has been a turning point in my life. I realized that, as human beings, we are actually all living in different realities and each reality is a world on its own, that we can inhabit them, embody them at the same time, navigate from one to another. I discovered we are conditioned by our culture, family, school, and society to think in a certain way, and that this certain way is creating our personal reality.

Living in a city with polluted air, poor water quality, and destruction of land, I realized how much planet Earth was being destroyed by our disconnection from her. That is why I dedicated my studies at university in France to food engineering and specialized in sustainable agriculture, rural development, and food systems. Working on creating sustainability in the area of food and agriculture, I realized the importance of awareness, human consciousness, and having a holistic approach for change. During a stay at Polin's house in Taiwan in January 2014, I heard for the first time of ecovillages and intentional communities. This opened me up later to write the first master thesis about the influence of ecovillages on their territory back in 2015 (you can read it here, in french language).

I have navigated the world from China to Mexico, speaking fluently five langagues, have already passed through four careers in modern culture (food engineer, private off the beaten path guide in China, english/chinese teacher) and I am coming closer to who I am now.

I struggled with self-confidence and self-esteem from a very young age being extremely shy and insecure. I was not feeling connected to my body and had no sense of my worth. I was often asking questions about how I should do things, asking for advice, looking for the answers through other people, giving my power away to them, feeling confused. At the same time, I struggled a lot to relax and felt globally deeply exhausted in my mind as in my heart resulting in feeling lost and confused. I lost my vitality and my spark for life for almost three years.

I have tried practices like meditation and yoga but it’s always felt like a “should do” and not something that really turned on my light again.

My research led me to explore my shadows and reclaim my power and my worth. I found that I was not a box full confusion and that I have a source of clarity, I am my source of aliveness!
