Author meeting around the father of yesterday and today

My books address the theme of the couvade, its definitions, its manifestations. I approach the psychic experience of future parents and in particular that of the father. Long forgotten or set aside, the future father is a whole new subject of observation. It was only in 2000 that for the first time, a Canadian team carried out saliva tests in order to measure the hormonal levels in the latter... The new father, the man as he is now perceived, is to say as being able to father, questions masculinities.

Creative Writing Workshop

Experiencing a creative writing workshop means letting yourself be carried away by a word, a sentence, an idea, a story... Do not ask questions but let the question incarnate in you Discover or rediscover his expression, his words, his tremors and hesitations, his assurance and certain definitive or ephemeral certainties, Reinventing the world, society and its history. Group or individual support In association, in business, with schools or in community centers... Occasionally or in a cycle. ​

Conference - Debate - round table

Around my book, I approach in a broader way, a theme addressed in my research. I am also asked to intervene on a specific theme, near or far, with my main areas of intervention. For example, I approach the history of the fathers...

Author meeting around the ritual of the couvade

The ritual of the couvade opens onto a whole world that we do not know. Disappeared and forgotten, this rite brings into play the perception of the organization of a world diametrically different from the one we perceive today. Everyone's role is intrinsically linked to the community, as well as to the environment. ​

Perinatal music therapy

During pregnancy

After the baby arrives

These workshops are intended for health or education professionals. This is an opportunity to discover the relevance of music therapy while waiting for a baby, such as during the first 1000 days after birth. In antenatal, music therapy can defuse possible tensions related to this moment of life as it helps to reduce tensions related to stressful events preceding pregnancy by near or far. Music therapy promotes expression and communication in the couple before and after pregnancy. It also allows the safe development of early interactions.

The benefits of music.
Training
Internships

The purpose of this course is to discover the main processes that make it possible to use music, sound and the non-verbal to move towards well-being. Intended for professionals as well as individuals, this course is created around practical and dynamic exercises which are followed by a theorization in order to understand the mechanisms and the stakes.

Author meeting around gender

My work questions gender, the distribution of tasks, the main male norms. the construction of masculinity I also address the more general theme of the third gender, of what the lgbtqia+ community was like in certain cultures before the arrival of the colonizers...

Author meeting around the myth that preceded male domination

white sand and sand,pearl

We often have the idea that the organization of the world has always been as we perceive it today. A world in which men dominate, capitalism is privileged, nature is dominated... And yet, the ritual of the couvade gives us to see a society of a completely different model which, moreover, happens to be an inversion of the patriarchal system.
