REVATUA, travel away (Tahitian)

by | Oct 20, 2021

Travel … a word with a strong historical, philosophical and spiritual meaning.

What impulse, what energy pushes us to go see beyond what we see?

Simply curiosity?

 

What do we have to find elsewhere?

I do not wish to answer these questions. That would take a whole life.

Under the Petticoat of our quest for embellishment

The visual, the appearance is an ancestral preoccupation. Is it a quest for cultural belonging? Is it a quest for self-approval? Is it a quest for youth? Is it a quest driven by our ego? I think this is a whole that mixes history, culture, nature and emotion. We first...

Get rid of emotional break out, 28 days to …

It is pretty obvious that our skin reflects many things. The skin is the result, the reflection of our emotions. In good ways or in bad ways… When we feel good, we’re glowing. When we go through tough times, we somatize, and at best it’s just an acne breakout. Our...

Check this out! They are billions on our skin!

You already know it under different appellations, but especially: the cutaneous microbiome. Ever heard of it? We don’t actually see them, and yet, there are more of them than all of the cells of our body. It is said that there is 10^15 of them… But what are these...

Are we the superficial generation?

This is something that I’ve recently heard, and which has caught my attention.   Have you ever noticed how we tend to blame it on our “generation”? Go on and blame today’s society! And for each era, its scapegoat. But have social medias perverted us that much? Is...
