About Me

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.

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 (CIWC). I created TheTransitioner.org , a non-profit R&D organization 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.

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 leaders 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… The masculine and the feminine, the yin and the yang, the conceptual and the emotional intelligence… Evolution and involution… It goes from eating to approaching sleep, from meditation to creating new empowering invisible architectures.

Any space has become sacred.

I have practiced martial arts for the past 30 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 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. 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 gift economy. I have nothing to sell but 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 and fear. This creates abundance and joy.

Fernanda

In January 2006, Fernanda came in my life. Since then we walk on every landscape of life. Together we develop TheTransitioner.org, free currencies, and R&D on collective intelligence. Together we follow our integral practice –body, mind, spirit. Together we explore the new paths of the couple: sexuality, values, spiritual life, rules we want for ourselves, relationship with others, social codes. We intend to share what this new path is teaching us.

Vow of Wealth

Early September 2009, the Vow of Wealth has come inside me as a permanent mark. It leads me to leave the conventional monetary system and enter into the new one of free currencies. The experiences of this journey will fill many pages here. I hope they may they be useful for others who want to explore this path too.

Current work

• Create a global wisdom driven organization (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 global collective intelligence. Research on collective intelligence clearly reveals the nuts and bolts of this transition in detail.  But rather than simply observing and talking about it as a researcher, I am committed to make TheTransitioner.org a GWDO. It took only one plane to fly in order to create aviation, it will take only one GWDO for evolution to make an evolutionary quantum leap. There is no force as inspiring as that of a living example.
• 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 associated with flowplaces. 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.

Professional path (short)

• Many jobs as a former adventurer and traveler (selling French crepes in NYC streets, piano player, car driver, programmer, free lance journalist…)

• Co-founder AOL France
