I started Tantra in 1987. I went through a series of initiation courses, a bit like... bulimic! I found there, what I had been looking for all my life, authenticity, fun, life energy etc.... Achintya (Stephen Vasey), my trainer in Postural Integration, was the co-leader of Margot Anand in France. After several workshops with him, it was quite naturally that I came to the Skydancing Personnal Training, which was offered in France for the first time.
Following my year of Training (3 cycles at the time), I joined the staff as an assistant. Skydancing was my second home. I left my two young children with their wonderful father for the time of my workshops. The organizer at the time, Agnès Pin Delacroix, wanted to stop and that's when Margot and Achintya asked me if I wanted to take over this job. I was very surprised by their request. My basic training was in childbirth and newborns babys - the beginnings of Frederic Leboyer childbirths - bringing the sacred into the birth, was particularly close to my heart.
After several requests and insistence... I finally agreed. Achintya helped me a lot in my early days. I started with a small black and white Macintosh... I made all the possible mistakes and even the impossible ones... I spent nights there, learning, understanding, accounting, computers, organisation... My partner at that time had a lot of patience... the faxes arrived from US at night... I worked on Sundays and evenings...
30 years later, I'm still at there and I love my job. My energy has become more inward, my organization more professional. The francophone Skydancing has stayed on track. We've been through many of storms: the death of one of our instructors, the sudden departure of another, Margot stopping, Margot coming back, the venue changing directors... and many other unforeseen events.
I am very grateful to have been choosen to serve this such noble task!
