Woman of 39 yo from Quebec in Canada. I was in the psychosocial area but would like to convert as an artist. I am in this transition and reflexion. Passionate and curious, I enjoy nordic swimming, polyphonic singing, walking, reading, travelling, art and creating communities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying three months in Cuba in a tiny village, a friend present me a man who just came out of jail because of talking again the government, he was tortured there (I don't if my English is correct here).He didn't want to meet me as I was speaking English and could be a spy. I accept and respect his refusal to meet me. But before I left, I just propose to play a song. I took my accordion and play with all the presence and emotion I could without effort. I was with my closed eyes while playing the whole song. When I finished to play and opened my eyes, I was taken by surprise to see this old man, crying so much. I was really touch my this moment as I felt all the pain and suffering he had in jail all those years. I understand it as an opportunity to release the emotions for him. I will always remember that moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach polyphonic songs, the quebecer way to speak French, I can introduce you to nordic swimming if we have access to cold water or to share moments if you already have this in your life.

I am a good listener :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook together as an activity. By example doing pastries together following a recipe :)

I often have tarot cards with me (not used as divination or read the future but as a tool to help see with more clarity a situation). I don't know the cards, but did my own method with them since few years.

Musical moments, having walks, etc.
