Questions and answers

LaVie MOSS & Magic is a space of rediscovery and reconnection. A place where you can slow down enough to notice what is happening inside you, what surrounds you, and what may be trying to be born. It is not a recipe and it does not come with ready-made answers. It is an invitation to turn back towards yourself, towards resources you may have forgotten, towards nature, towards creativity, and towards those beautiful parts of you that may have stayed silent for a while.

MOSS grew out of my own need to turn back, to get to know myself, and to return to the world exactly as I am. There were periods in my life when I kept moving forward, did what had to be done, and carried on functioning — even when something in me was asking to be heard. At some point I began to wonder: What happens if, instead of immediately looking for the way onward, I pause for a moment and see where I am? If I try to stop doing only what I must, and do what is good for me instead? If I try, at last, to be myself? MOSS was born out of that turning back.

For me, moss on a stone tells a story about life that has no need to make noise. It grows slowly. It adapts. It takes up space without conquering it. It appears where it might seem that nothing is happening. It reminds me that not everything important has to be fast, visible or spectacular. MOSS is also about this way of looking at life: more attentively, more slowly, more closely. About discovering the spectacular in the smallest moments and, in doing so, learning to enjoy life and what is right in front of you.

For people who find themselves in an “in between”. Perhaps between two stages of life. Between who they have been and what comes next. In a time of change, of searching, of loss, of beginning — or simply at a moment when they feel they want to come close to themselves again, in a different way. You do not have to arrive with a clearly defined problem. Sometimes that feeling is enough: “I know something is moving in me, but I do not yet know what.” It can help to come with a little curiosity and openness: to discover, to see what sometimes passes by unnoticed, to look into places where there is both shadow and sun.

No. In fact, sometimes it is precisely not knowing yet that makes a very good starting point. I do not believe we always need a destination before setting out. Sometimes we first need a little space, quiet and attention in order to see what truly matters. We can begin with a question, a sensation, an image, a walk, or even a simple: “I do not know any more.” And we can see what emerges from there.

MOSS is not built as a rigid method and does not set out to replace psychotherapy or medical care. It is a space of exploration and rediscovery, in which I draw on my experience in social pedagogy, systemic and resource-oriented therapy, nature, creativity, intuitive writing, observation and various contemplative practices. I do not arrive with a protocol you have to follow. I arrive with my experience, with the tools I have gathered over the years and, above all, with a willingness to be beside you in whatever you want to explore. It is a journey you do not make alone — we make it together. It is a journey you choose if you feel something calling you towards it. It may take the form of a one-to-one meeting, a group, a workshop, a circle or an experience in nature, depending on which MOSS invitation you choose.

Because sometimes what we cannot immediately put into words can be observed, drawn, written, imagined, or simply met in nature. You do not have to be an artist. You do not have to know how to draw. Creativity, for me, does not mean producing something beautiful. It means allowing yourself to observe, to experiment, and to see what appears. And nature can offer us a different rhythm. It takes us a little out of the centre of our own story and reminds us that we are part of a much larger world — alive, and always transforming.

It depends on what you bring with you. Sometimes we will talk. Other times we will write, draw, observe, work with images, or go out into nature. Sometimes we will simply sit with a question without trying to resolve it straight away. There is no single MOSS experience. There is the meeting between what you bring, the space we create together, and what emerges in that moment.

Because people are not formulas. I do not believe we can take the same recipe, apply it to everyone, and then expect the same result. MOSS creates a frame, but leaves room for what is alive and different in each person. I do not want to tell you who you should become. I want to accompany you closely enough that you can hear more clearly what already exists within you. You are the one who creates what wants to become.

It means I do not see myself in front of you, map in hand. I do not walk ahead of you to show you where you must arrive, nor do I walk in your place. I can offer you a space, questions, perspectives, experience, tools and presence. But the path remains yours. That is why one of the phrases that best expresses what MOSS is for me is this: I do not walk ahead of you. I do not walk in your place. I walk beside you, for as long as you need. And then, perhaps, the moment comes when you no longer need me beside you, because you have begun to walk on your own again — hand in hand with yourself.

If we do not find the answer, we do not invent one. We look together at what we know, at what we do not yet know, and at what is possible right now. Sometimes we need a different perspective; other times we need time. What matters is finding a point from which we can continue. Sometimes the answer is not found. It lets itself be discovered.

You can begin by looking at the MOSS invitations available and choosing the one that feels right for you at this moment. If you are not sure where to start, you can write to me, or we can have a short conversation beforehand.

No. You do not need artistic experience or knowledge about nature. MOSS experiences start from curiosity and observation, not from performance. There is no need to know how to draw, to write beautifully, or to “be good at” nature.

MOSS can be a space for reflection and exploration, but it does not replace psychotherapy, medical treatment or other forms of specialist care. If you are going through a situation that calls for that kind of support, it is important to seek it from the right professionals.
