Natural Writer
Writing is my DNA. I love writing. I like to explore the possibility of an active and inspiring literature, which will lead us back to a more caring attitude. At a very early age, books started to be important as an access to wisdom and much more experience I could ever live in my entire life. Several trials and a great sensitivity pushed me to ask myself very young about life and to begin a journey of spiritual and artistic exploration.
My books
Most of my 12 books are available in French on this page. Osons la fraternité - Manifeste pour un monde ouvert, éd. Yves Michel, 2016.
