VISION
Kodama Experience aims to renew the
vital osmosis
we need with old forests
Bringing Humans to the side of the Tree is essential to change the course, and to build a regenerative civilization based on the living.
About two million years ago, our ancestors began to evolve to become the humans we are today. During this process, the development of our brain was in contact with trees, and we spent more than 99.9% of our time in a natural environment to which our body is perfectly adapted.
At the scale of our history, humans just left the forest for only a few minutes.
A significant part of humanity is now evolving in total separation from its natural environment, cut off from its roots, trapped by the increasing artificialization of soils, in dependence on a destructive consumption system of the living and, therefore, of itself.
In a vertiginous acceleration, our era is on the eve of cataclysms, on the threshold of the collapse of our civilization, that a part of the scientific community is already considering in a few years.
I’m an Experience
Designer & Producer, Photographer, Content Writer.
I use my multi-skilled profile to develop this hybrid project at the crossing of Arts, Sciences, Ancestral knowledge, and Spirituality of the old forests.
COMMITMENT
After 20 years in the Parisian Event-Communication industry, I decided to make a switch to give sense to my actions. A wake-up call that engaged me in an ecological project inspired by the power of our links with trees. I created Kodama Experience for this purpose.
Kodama project draws its inspiration from ancient forests of Japan. Behind the figure of Kodama (Spirit of the Tree 木霊) I sustain the voice of the forests, inviting people to reconnect their links with trees and learn from the powerful knowledge they bring us facing societal and ecological challenges of our times.
