Description
I live in the south suburb of Bordeaux (12 minutes by train, the station is quite close to our home) in a house built by ourselves on 1000 m2. We are next to one large natural space (wood, ponds). And also not very far from the highway which goes to Arcachon and the Pyla Dune and the ocean.
My main interest is about the roots of the ecological crisis and how we can change our civilization to a more human one. (see my papers - ask me for the links)
I love to travel and I especially love French Polynésia.
I need help to rough out the creation of work of art. wooden art because I have tendinitis in my shoulder and I can't do everything anymore. I love talking with travellers and if you are an English speaker it helps me improve my English!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love exchanging, sharing about all the subjects that are part of my life: artistic practice, travels, philosophy, psychology, ecology, ecopsychology,...and French Polynesia.
I can lead you to feel more in contact with nature with simple practices.
Help
I need help sawing, planing, and sanding wood for my art projects. I only do this in the garden when the weather is nice. If the weather is bad, I would need help creating my website, taking professional-quality photos (I don't have the equipment), cooking, and some small household maintenance tasks.
