My name is Seven Winds (aka Séverine or Seven).

I could tell you all the labels that Life has put on me since I was born, but it would still tell you nothing about the person I am.
This picture speaks for itself. I am a lover of Nature, of small things, of simplicity. I’m amazed by Mother Earth and her capacity to awe me every single day if I want to. It’s all about the mindset, isn’t it? That day on the picture, in early spring in Idaho, my whole being was drowning. My best friend took me to the Botanical Gardens and that was all I needed: to witness Life birthing itself upward and forward. The tiny thing I point at is a little white flower: it had a big white bloom and a tiny stem. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The tiny stem!
Mother Earth is my favorite teacher of all times and Wilderness my favorite classroom. It’s where I can access my Joy the most easily.

And if you really want the Labels…

I am a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher: I trained with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach in the MMTCP program. I am a certified instructor for the Awakening Joy Program created by James Baraz, my mentor and teacher. I am a certified Yoga Teacher and a Reiki Master. I am a lover of the Medicine provided by Nature and am currently studying Herbal Medicine. I am passionate by the written words and by foreign languages: I hold a PhD in French Studies. I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager and am now working on a novel. In 2022, I published a book with my research on Valentine Penrose, a poet who transformed my Life and sent me on the Spiritual Path. More can be said, of course. In that regard, a book is being written.
