Nature (Re)Connection in: French

As much in love with humans as with nature, it was while working with the children of Camp Mariste that I chose to pursue social work 20 years ago. What followed was a varied path from intervention to management through teaching in various places in the world, always keeping this humans and nature in mind. Being a Nature (Re)Connection guide gives me a powerful tool to encourage the reconciliation of the two and participate in the social and individual change necessary to give meaning to our lives and our choices.

Some questions for Vanessa

Which sense connects you instantly to nature? Lying down on the floor and watching the sky.

When do you need to reconnect with nature? When I feel like I’m in the process of losing myself. When I live through an intense wave of emotions. When I have a decision to take. A project to create. An important conversation. To be authentic with my loved ones.

Which natural element fascinates you? The river. As my children.
