Shemon Koba

As an Asian born in France, his journey for self-knowledge, heart-to-heart connection, and finding balance between extremes started with wounds of abandonment, rejection, and humiliation. It was through trauma healing and learning what truly defines healthy relationships that he was able to reconnect with his emotions. For many years, he had avoided facing these feelings, relying primarily on meditation and positive thinking as a way to cope. Over time, he started to realize that deep-rooted social conditioning, particularly patriarchal mindsets, shapes and limits many self-development approaches. He came to understand that real transformation is not just about changing one’s thoughts but about embodying values through lived experience—through the body, in the way one moves, feels, and connects with others. For the past seven years, he has been exploring and sharing mind-body practices, especially through Tai Chi-inspired movements, guiding others toward a more integrated and grounded connection with themselves beyond the realm of the mind. 

Catherine Brunelle Durain

French-born Canadian, part Native, and a natural healer, she has traveled extensively across the world in search of wisdom and a more profound understanding. Her journey has led her to study traditional energetic medicines, positive psychology, and family constellations, each enriching her understanding of the human condition and the invisible dynamics that shape our lives.
From this rich and integrative path, she developed Systemic NonViolence, an approach that nurtures a cognitive meta-vision and invites a deeper awareness of the mechanisms and synergies at play within our inner complexity, our relationships, and the groups to which we belong.
