The Kogi Indians: The Memory of Possibilities (Actes Sud – 2009)
A book in the form of a dialogue that brings together texts, photographs and testimonies, bridging two visions, two perspectives and two ways of engaging with the world. A dialogue not to pit one against the other, but to encounter the other, where the other enlightens us on what we no longer know about ourselves. A jubilant first attempt at reconciliation, to which healers, philosophers, historians, psychotherapists, biologists, sociologists and others are invited to contribute.

KOGIS, the path of the speaking stones (Actes Sud – 2021)
Recounting the experience of the first cross-disciplinary regional health assessment in the Haut-Diois, this book enables us to discover the power of dialogue, to re-examine our practices and to explore new possibilities.
