About Me

I was born in 1964 near Paris, France. I have a French passport and live in Avignon in Provence, not far from the Mediterranean sea.

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 surrender to my spiritual journey and dedicate my life to Collective Intelligence, Wisdom and Consciousness (CIWC). I created TheTransitioner.org , an online community that gathers pioneers who have embarked towards the next humanity. Transitioners embody the transition between the ‘old’ conventional world and the next one to come. In 2012 I created CIRI — the Collective Intelligence Research Institute — which aim is to provide grounded R&D. Free Currencies occupy an important place in this work.

I travel around the world to give seminars and conferences, and to work on R&D programs. I work on fascinating projects to develop global collective intelligence, I help large organizations and their CEOs evolve toward wisdom centered approaches. Everywhere I go I meet and co-create with wonderful human beings.

The discipline I follow as a pioneer and researcher is integral. All planes of the being are involved: body, mind, spirit… Masculine and feminine, conceptual and emotional intelligence… Evolution and involution… It goes from the way of eating to dreams at sleep, from meditation to creating new empowering invisible architectures, from sexuality to 21^st century life style.

I am committed to seek and speak radical truth.

I have practiced martial arts for the past 35 years. I teach them during workshops and special sessions. Although this may seem paradoxical to some people, the practice of non-violence and the one of martial arts are two faces of the same coin. I turned vegetarian for that same reason.

Today I am vegan and mostly eating around live raw food, all gluten free. I also fast from time to time. Whatever is beyond vegetarianism is done only because I feel incredibly healthy. I am never sick.

Music also plays an important role in my life. I play the piano, I love to improvise. Creation – yet expressed in collective intelligence – is part of who I am. Creating ourselves is creating humanity.

On the social and relational field, I made the choice to live in the generosity economy (Towards a Life of Charity). I have nothing to sell and everything to share. I see myself as a tree offering its best fruits. If fruits are good then people will enjoy them and will provide care for the tree. This is an ecology of relationship built on mutual offering rather than dependency, competition and fear. 

I feel truly happy and free.

Fernanda

In January 2006, Fernanda came in my life. Since then we walked on every landscape of life together. We develop TheTransitioner.org, CIRI, free currencies, we do R&D on collective intelligence. Together we follow our integral practice –body, emotions, mind, spirit. Together we explore the new ways to build loving relationships, as the old models don’t work for us.

Vow of Wealth

Early September 2009, the Vow of Wealth landed inside me as a permanent mark. Step by step it leads me to leave the conventional monetary system and enter into the new one of free currencies. This journey will fill many posts here. I hope they will be useful and inspiring.

Current work

• Support the emergence of global wisdom driven organizations (GWDO). Everywhere medium and large organizations operate with the same dynamics of limbic brain: surviving, reproducing, eating, conquering, eliminating or controling the enemy, etc. Collective wisdom has always been accessible to small groups (wisdom circles, spiritual communities…), life is now creating new paths to overcome the limits of number (of participants) and distance (between them). Humanity experiences a lightning evolution towards holomidal collective intelligence. Research on collective intelligence clearly reveals the nuts and bolts of this transition in detail.
• Develop the next monetary system. Money as we know it has a built-in architecture that attracts scarcity, centralization, concentration, secrecy, proprietarization. Money will not withstand the forthcoming free currencies. I am fully invested in these projects.
• Communicate, train, share. Blog, videos, medias, publications, seminars, conferences… and a book on collective intelligence is on its way.
