About
I was born in 1964 near Paris, France. I have a French passport and live in a small village called La Barben  in Provence not far from Aix-en-Provence and the Mediterranean sea (the most beautiful place in the Universe). I am the happiest dad of Estéban who landed on our planet in August 2001. His mom and I live separately in deep friendship. A few years ago I decided to follow my spiritual path and dedicate my life to Collective Intelligence, Wisdom and Consciousness. I created TheTransitioner.org, a network on CIWC which is also a non-profit R&D organization. It gathers for pioneers who are embodying the transition between the 'old' conventional world and the next one to come.I travel around the world to give workshops, seminars and conferences. I work on fascinating projects, build cutting-edge strategies to help global organizations evolve toward wisdom centered approaches, develop training programs for universities. Everywhere I go I meet wonderful Human Beings. The discipline I apply on myself as a pioneer and researcher is integral. It involves all planes of the being: matter, body, mind, spirit... The masculine and the feminine, the conceptual and emotional intelligence are also part of the dance. Evolution and involution... It goes from eating to approaching sleep, from meditation to installing new empowering architectures .Any space for being and sharing has now become a sacred space. I have practiced martial arts for the past 30 years which I also teach during my workshops and through special sessions. Although this may seem paradoxical to some people, the practice of non-violence and the practice of martial arts are two faces of the same coin. I am a vegetarian for that same reason (but not the only one). Music also plays an important role in my life. I play the piano, I love to improvise and compose. Creation – yet expressed in CIWC – has become central. Creating ourselves through artwork means creating humanity. On the social and relational field, I made the choice to live in the gift economy. I have nothing to sell but everything to offer. I see myself like a tree making its best fruits, without any agenda. If fruits are good then people will enjoy them and will provide care for the tree. This is an ecology of relationship built on offering rather than dependency and fear. This creates abundance and joy. By the way, 'gift economy' doesn't mean there is no money, as most people think. Money is one form of wealth among many others, and gift economy is about wealth, in its deepest sense. CommitmentsCreate a global wisdom driven organization . Everywhere medium and large organization have a reptilian brain at the collective level (check pyramidal collective intelligence). They act upon the drives of early archaic life: survive, reproduce, eat, conquer, eliminate or control the adversary, etc. Collective wisdom has always been accessible (wisdom circles, spiritual communities...), today social life is trying to overcome the limits of number (of participants) and distance (between them). We witness the evolution from original collective intelligence to global collective intelligence. Research work in CIWC demonstrates this possibility. Rather than simply observing and talking about it as a researcher, I am committed to make TheTransitioner.org a Global wisdom driven organization. It took only a plane to fly in order to create aviation, it will take only one wisdom driven global organization to help evolution take this direction. There is no such force as inspiring from living example.Develop the next monetary system . Money as we know it has a built-in architecture that attracts scarcity, centralization, concentration, secrecy, proprietarization. Our current monetary system is a product of the ideology of the Victorian society, its structure is no longer fits the systemic needs of todays world (harmonizing local and global needs, sustainability, gift economy, wisdom...). Money is about to go into a fundamental evolution toward free currencies. Each community will be able to create its own currencies for its own flowplace. In the same manner there are today millions of discussion groups, blogs, medias, social networks, there will be millions of currencies made for wealth to circulate within these networks. This will become the most important evolution for humanity in the next years.Communicate, train, share. Be it through the online world or the classical world, communicating, training and sharing is an essential piece of the work. I am currently writing a book on CIWC, and another one on money. Professional path (very brief)
