What do I do ? 

My work revolves around promoting social consciousness and environmental awareness. Through my talks, podcasts, moderations, filmmaking, and journalism, I aim to challenge prevailing belief systems and empower individuals to question and break free from various forms of conditioning.

I emphasize the importance of critical thinking and compassion, highlighting the potential to drive significant progress and enable lasting change.

By critically examining and questioning everything we assume to know, desire, experience, and believe, we often uncover hidden truths beneath layers of conditioning.
This includes cultural, economic, familial, social
 conditioning, and polarized narratives. 
Understanding our motivations and the roots of our behaviors is crucial, as it helps us navigate through cognitive biases and external influences that shape our choices.  

Through deconditioning and critical thinking, we can develop a nuanced understanding of complex systems of influence. By refusing to buy into a system driven by fabricated desires imposed upon us, we can align our actions with our fundamental needs and act in ways that do not perpetuate harm to ourselves or our environment.

This process allows us to navigate societal pressures, imagine new narratives and ways of living, and collectively address the biggest challenge of our time : climate change.


Yes, we can transform our economy into one focused on care.
Yes, we can foster equity and collaboration prioritizing sustainability.
And yes, nurturing our planet and each other is not a compromise but rather the essence of meaningful and joyful living
