Today, Saturn meets Neptune at 0° Aries, the very first degree of the zodiac — the cosmic starting point. Astrologers describe this as one of the most pivotal alignments of our time, where structure (Saturn) meets vision (Neptune).
This conjunction only happens about every 36–37 years, but occurring at zero Aries — the zodiac’s reset point — is exceptionally potent.
This conjunction is like a blank page. Being born anew.
So what is it that you wish to paint on that white canvas?
I wish for us integrity, our values and words matching our actions, our dreams, our bodies, our voices, our communities, our way of living and relating, our ways of treating each other, ourselves and the Earth.
So many dreamers and good speakers out there. But are we actually embodying our ideals? Can we build what we say we believe in? What is the next step we can do to come closer to them? Small steps. Every day. Not just dreamy visions. Actual grounded actions.
Curious to know what you are calling in for this new beginning. Leave me a comment 🪶✨

Last day of the year of the Wood Snake. Thankful for the tight skin that has been released — and for the strength of the new one, acquired through deep initiations.
Something I’ve learnt is to actively create beauty even, and especially through the deepest challenges. It’s a way of coming back into presence and embrace life as it is.
One big challenge of this consumption society is the postponing of happiness. This thought pattern of: « when I will get there, I’ll finally be happy. When I have this job, this partner, this house, this money, this way of living — finally I’ll be happy. ». We can spend a lifetime playing this game of fantasy, expectation, and projection, and completely miss what is right in front of us. I’ve learnt to become an active actor of my happiness, an artist of grace, creating beauty and sacred all around, appreciating the scars on the skin that are making us so unique.
Deepest gratitude to the Snake Spirit for all the teachings 🐍
Tomorrow, first day of the year of the Fire Horse, I’ll be announcing a big project that has been brewing for many years. Stay tuned. Tap 🔥🐎 if you want to be among the first to receive the news.

Last days of the Year of the Snake. Shedding the last pieces of skin — the deepest layers. This is a karmic week, astrologically. A time when old wounds rise from places we thought we had already touched. And yet, here they are again — to be witnessed and offer transformation.
Take good care of yourself. Be gentle. Be aware of your triggers. Like the snake that must rub itself against the rock to release the final fragments of skin, we too may meet friction — inside ourselves, and in the mirrors of the people we relate to. This is part of the final shedding.
For me, I chose to sit with Bobinsana for a week of dieta — to access the last remaining layers of past year teachings, and grief. To be ready to fully ride into this new chapter of the Fire Horse.
I have dieted with Bobinsana before. She is an incredible plant who works on the matters of the heart, on heartbreaks, on grief, and resilience. In the jungle, she survives floods and storms. She bends, endures, and blooms again — delicate pink flowers, full of grace.
Strong roots. Deeply grounded. Resistant.
And above, a delicate flower dancing in the wind.
This is how I wish to enter this new year.
Eternally grateful to the intelligence and wisdom of the plant world for all your teachings.
Ase.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?”
— extract from “Maps of Ecstasy”, by Gabrielle Roth

I am a sound therapist, composer, breathwork facilitator and shamanic practitioner.
After years working in an office, I found this environment was too restricted for the tons of things I wanted to do, learn, see, feel… I quit my job, my apartment and went to travel Asia. On the road, from country to country, I found myself.
Since my young age I was always fascinated by sound and explore it as a cathartic channel. During my journey, I notice how sound has a primordial role in the connection to the spiritual world, like a door that leads to deeper levels of consciousness. I meet spiritual masters who teach me how to use sound as a way to heal and repattern our system at a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I learn from them sacred music instruments and chant techniques: gongs, Tibetan bowls, therapeutic tuning forks, mantras, overtone singing… I was trained by many teachers including the great Gong Master Baba Don Conreaux and the therapeutic tuning forks pioneer Dr. John Beaulieu.
I apply in my work scientific and spiritual ways to work with energy and vibration as well as ancestral knowledge from the shamanic tradition, working with the spirit world, using sonic driving (drumming, rattles) and occasionally plant medicine.
Recently, I was initiated to shamanic breathwork (breathwave style) and found in breath a guide to land in the present moment with awareness.
Je suis sonothérapeute, compositrice, breathwork facilitatrice et practienne chamanique.
Après des années à travailler dans un bureau, j’en suis venue à la conclusion que cet environnement était trop restrictif pour la vision étendue que j’avais du monde et ce que je voulais faire, apprendre, voir, sentir... J’ai quitté mon travail, mon appartement et me suis envolée pour l’Asie. Au cours de mon aventure, de pays en pays, je me suis trouvée moi-même.
Depuis mon plus jeune âge, j’ai toujours été fascinée par le son et l’ai expérimenté comme une catharsis. Durant mon voyage, j’ai pu remarquer que le son a un rôle primordial dans la connexion au monde spirituel, comme un portail qui mène à des niveaux plus profonds de conscience. J’ai rencontré des maîtres spirituels qui m’ont enseigné le soin par le son afin de reprogrammer tout notre système à un niveau physique, émotionnel, mental et spirituel. J’ai été initiée aux instruments de musique et techniques de chant sacrés : gongs, bols tibétains, diapasons thérapeutiques, chant overtonique... J’ai appris de plusieurs maîtres tels que le grand gong master Baba Don Conreaux et le pionnier en diapasons thérapeutiques Dr. John Beaulieu.
J’applique dans mon travail des méthodes scientifiques et pratiques spirituelles pour travailler avec l’énergie et la vibration ainsi que du savoir ancestral issu de la tradition chamanique. Je travaille avec le monde des esprits en utilisant la guidance par le son (tambours, maracas) et occasionnellement les plantes médicinales.
Récemment, j’ai été initiée au breathwork chamanique (breathwave) et j’ai trouvé dans la respiration un guide pour revenir au moment présent avec conscience.
