She efficiently disseminates it around her by teaching workshops in Montreal and in the Carribean. |  A TRUE ODE TO FRIENDSHIP, by Ito Laïla Le François (LF). In her very personal interpretation of the ritual, LF celebrates the strong women of her inner circle, and reconnects with herself with clarity and serenity. However, instead of words, she uses materials to create her recited poem. Her kasàlà is crafted and sculpted in the image of her friends and muses with the use of glass, ceramic, wool… adorned with feathers, hides, and found objects. |  Jacques has followed the evolution of the kasàlà as a concept and as an art ever since its beginning in the nineties. He's been writing marvelous kasàlàs for family and friends on various occasions. He also uses it as a therapeutic tool with his patients. |

It consists of a full-rhymed poem based on traditional poetry and the lines of poetry are sometimes interposed with sayings and proverbs. Bearers and practitioners include the poet, performer, chorus and audience. The practice strengthens bonds and is connected with knowledge and practices related to nature. |  With Momentum Coaching I coach and accompany people in their search towards the realization of their dreams. I'm the living example of the saying 'you are never too old to learn'. Indeed, coaching was not my first calling. After an interesting career at the Catholic University of Leuven, I started my own company as Professional Conference Organiser, which fitted some of my talents well, and I discovered a fascinating world of science and innovation. I then followed the fruitful path of coaching. |
