À l'approche du départ de la Normandy Channel Race 2026 ce dimanche, nous vous proposons de réécouter cet épisode consacré à Corentin Douguet. Vainqueur de l'édition 2025 avec Axel Tréhin en Class40, Corentin Douguet fut, durant de longues années, l'un des piliers et des animateurs du circuit Figaro. Revenons sur sa carrière de marin.--Corentin Douguet, c'est d'abord une voix, basse, grave, posée, souvent espacée de quelques silences ; c'est un ton, ensuite, mélange d'autodérision et de second degré. C'est surtout, enfin, plus de vingt années de haut niveau, marquées par 11 participations à la Solitaire du Figaro.Pourtant, s'il a découvert la voile très jeune sur le Muscadet familial, ce n'est que bien plus tard, à l'Ecole nationale de la marine marchande à Nantes, qu'il découvre la compétition. Sur les bancs de la Marmar, il rencontre Thierry Douillard, Thierry Chabagny, Fred Guilmin, Charles Caudrelier, Matthieu Richard... autant dire que son apprentissage de la régate, s'il est tardif, se fait en bonne compagnie !Sa voie est trouvée, il n'entrera jamais dans la carrière au long cours : régates, convoyages, préparation, il navigue dès qu'il le peut. En 2001, il se lance dans la Mini Transat, en faisant "tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire" pour ce premier projet. Il enchaîne rapidement sur des courses en Figaro avec Thierry Chabagny et sur le Tour de France à la voile. Mais en 2003, son copain Armel Tripon remporte la Mini Transat, alors Corentin Douguet met en place un projet sérieux pour l'édition 2005 - qu'il remporte en gagnant toutes les courses de la saison...Logiquement il enchaîne sur le circuit Figaro, multipliant les participations à la Solitaire (et l'AG2R), marquées par deux podiums en 2007 et 2010. Après cinq saisons intenses, il choisit de revenir à l'équipage en 2011, en manageant le projet Tour de France à la voile de Nantes et Saint-Nazaire en M34 pendant 3 saisons. En 2014 il est de retour sur le circuit Figaro, antichambre idéale du Vendée Globe, qu'il vise désormais. Il y squatte le top 10, multiplie les podiums d'étape, mais ne parvient pas à convaincre un sponsor de s'embarquer sur le Vendée Globe.Sa dernière Solitaire, en 2020, se termine avec un abandon sur vertèbre cassée, mais l'année suivante, embarqué par Tanguy Le Turquais, ils décrochent une 2e place sur la Transat en double. Dans l'intervalle, il a lancé, avec le soutien d'un investisseur, la construction d'un Class40 pour le Rhum 2022. Il se présente à Saint-Malo en favori, après avoir gagné ou fini deuxième de toutes les courses de la saison : avec une 3e place sur la transat, ce sera finalement son plus mauvais résultat sur le support !Depuis, Corentin Douguet, dont l'expertise en routage et en navigation est reconnue, découvre la vie de marin free-lance : des navigations de mise au point sur Arkea Paprec en début d'année ; la participation (écourtée) la Bermudes 100 Race avec Guirec Soudée ; et la saison Class40 2023 avec Fabien Delahaye... son carnet de bal est complet jusqu'à la fin de l'année.A-t-il envie, à bientôt 49 ans, de reconstruire un projet personnel ? "C'est une bonne question, je cherche à y répondre depuis la fin de la Route du Rhum", répond-il dans son style caractéristique. "Ce qui est sûr, c'est que j'ai encore la gnaque pour aller me faire mal sur l'eau, c'est le plus important." Rediffusé le 29 mai 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Ce 247e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit deux navigatrices tout juste médaillées de voile olympique, Lauriane Nolot, sacrée le 16 mai à Viana do Castelo (Portugal) championne du monde de kitefoil pour la troisième fois (après 2023 et 2024), et Aloïse Retornaz, deuxième, avec Tim Mourniac, des championnats du monde de Nacra 17 qui se sont achevés le 17 mai en baie de Quiberon.Nos deux invitées commencent par confier ce qu'elles pensent de la performance de l'autre, Lauriane Nolot estimant que la deuxième place mondiale du duo Tim Mourniac/Aloïse Retornaz est encore plus forte que son troisième sacre en kite. Elles détaillent ensuite leur préparation pour ces Mondiaux, objectif prioritaire de la saison, et expliquent dans quel état d'esprit elles les abordaient, fortes de résultats probants en amont à Palma et Hyères (deux victoires pour Lauriane Nolot, 5e et 3e place pour le Nacra 17).Aloïse Retornaz raconte comment ils se sont évertués avec Tim Mourniac, “local de l'étape”, à transformer la pression d'évoluer à domicile en énergie positive et l'ambiance sur place à l'Institut national du nautisme (I2N, ex ENVSN), qui n'a cessé d'aller crescendo au fur et à mesure de la semaine. Elles reviennent ensuite sur les qualifications, avec un duel qui s'est très vite mis en place en kite entre Lauriane Nolot et Jessie Kampman (championne du monde 2015), et une première place pendant quatre jours pour le Nacra 17 tricolore.Elles enchaînent en racontant leurs finales respectives et la joie une fois l'ultime manche terminée. Lauriane Nolot confie que ce troisième titre mondial est son “best”, Aloïse Retornaz que cette médaille d'argent est celle qui l'a rendue “la plus fière” après une première année en Nacra 17 difficile. Elles terminent en évoquant la suite de la saison et notamment, pour Aloïse Retornaz, son double projet, puisqu'elle fait partie des navigatrices retenues par K-Challenge pour la prochaine Women's America's Cup, en 2027 à Naples.Diffusé le 19 mai 2026Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

A l'occasion du départ de la Solitaire du Figaro Paprec à Perros-Guirec ce dimanche à 11h, nous rediffusons l'épisode avec l'un des plus fidèles concurrents de l'épreuve : Alexis Loison. Enregistré en 2024, 15 mois avant sa victoire sur l'édition précédente, cet échange nous plonge dans la tête d'un marin d'exception. Entre expertise technique et mental d'acier, découvrez le parcours de celui qui s'apprêtait à marquer l'histoire de la course.--Il aura 40 ans le 11 août, quelques jours avant le départ de la Solitaire du Figaro, à Rouen, sa ville natale. Est-ce un signe ? Alexis Loison se dit "un peu superstitieux, mais moins que d'autres". Pas au point de croire au mauvais œil, celui qui le poursuivrait, lui qui vise, pour sa 18e participation, la victoire dans la prochaine édition.Pourquoi un tel acharnement, alors que les figaristes d'aujourd'hui restent moins longtemps que leurs glorieux aînés, qui consentaient à quitter le circuit au bout d'une dizaine d'années pour beaucoup d'entre eux ? Parce qu'il aime cette course, tout simplement.Une passion qui le tient depuis son plus jeune âge : un virus transmis par son père et les croisières familiales depuis Cherbourg, le port d'attache des Loison. puis les courses du Rorc, le Laser, le First Class 8, le Figaro 1 avec Alexandre Toulorge... Lycéen, il rêve de Figaro., pas de Route du Rhum ou de Vendée Globe !Il plonge enfin dans le grand bain en 2006, à l'occasion du départ de la Solitaire depuis Cherbourg : et c'est parti pour 17 participations consécutives - avec juste une pause en 2022. Il lui faudra six éditions pour rentrer dans le top 10, quand, enfin, après des années de vaches maigres, il décroche un vrai sponsor - Fiva - et entre au Pôle Finistère course au large. Depuis il fait partie des habitués du top 10, candidat "naturel" à la victoire, même s'il n'a remporté qu'une seule étape et n'est jamais monté sur le podium.Figariste, Alexis Loison est aussi stakhanoviste, n'hésitant pas à multiplier les supports, en particulier l'IRC, qu'il fréquente assidûment sur les courses du Rorc : en 2013, avec son père, il réalise un exploit, remportant le Fastnet en double et au général - une épreuve qu'il a remportée 4 fois au total. Il est aussi habitué de Sydney-Hobart, remporté à deux reprises. Il goûte aussi au Class40, avec trois Transat Jacques Vabre dans les bottes.Quand il entre comme technico-commercial chez Technique Voile, en 2022, mettant la Solitaire en pause, ce n'est que pour mieux revenir l'an dernier : avec un nouveau sponsor et toujours la même passion, tout en continuant son nouveau job chez Incidences.Le Figaro dans la peau, toujours...Rediffusé le 6 mars 2026Diffusé le 3 mai 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Christine Briand est une figure de la voile française. Fille de Michel Briand, grand régatier - JO de Mexico, Quarter et Half Ton Cup, pilier de la filière nautique de La Rochelle, créateur de la voilerie Tasker... - elle a baigné dans le milieu de la voile dès son enfance."Avec mon frère (l'architecte naval Philippe Briand), on suivait notre père partout en Europe pour ses régates. Ca m'a donné le goût du voyage et de faire la même chose", confie celle qui  a appris à naviguer avec Claude Harlé, puis fait équipe pendant neuf ans avec Claire Fountaine en 470, avec à la clé un titre de championnes du monde.Elle a ensuite participé à la Whitbread (ex The Ocean Race) à deux reprises. "C'est Christine Guillou qui m'a fait entrer dans ce monde-là, je lui dois beaucoup, raconte-t-elle. Christine a navigué toute sa vie autant avec des hommes que des femmes, les séparer n'a pas forcément de sens pour elle. Elle a aussi été précurseur dans de nombreux domaines, c'est la première, par exemple, à avoir eu un sponsor privé en voile olympique !""Incapable de se poser", celle qui a fondé la société Waypoint au retour de son premier tour du monde, en 1998, est également à l'origine du Festival international du film d'aventure de La Rochelle (Fifav), toujours aussi active, à 66 ans, et toujours aussi férue de navigation.Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par SailorzPrésenté par PaprecDiffusé le 13 mai 2026Post production : Théo LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

Ce 246e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit Léonard Legrand, skipper de Sodebo Fifty, entre les Acts 1 et 2 des Ocean Fifty Series à Sainte-Maxime et Ajaccio.Le marin de 32 ans commence par revenir sur son parcours et notamment son arrivée, en 2015, au sein de l'équipe Sodebo Voile dans le cadre d'une alternance. L'occasion pour lui de se former à l'électronique embarquée et d'être associé à un premier projet d'envergure, le record du tour du monde en solitaire (Trophée Saint-Exupéry), battu fin 2016 par Thomas Coville.Il explique comment il a peu à peu pris des responsabilités dans l'équipe, au point de devenir responsable du pôle électronique, et comment, à force d'être embarqué à bord du nouveau Sodebo Ultim 3, lancé en 2019, il a pris goût à la navigation. Au point de postuler pour faire partie de l'équipage sur le Trophée Jules Verne, non sans s'être formé préalablement sur le circuit Ocean Fifty aux côtés de Pierre Quiroga.Léonard Legrand raconte ensuite sa relation avec Thomas Coville, son souvenir marquant du Jules Verne 2025-2026, puis comment s'est monté le projet Sodebo Fifty. Il détaille le chantier de remise à niveau de l'ancien Crêpes Whaou 3, plan VPLP racheté à Christopher Pratt, puis explique comment il compte optimiser sa préparation en vue de la Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, course dont il rêve depuis qu'il est enfant.Diffusé le 5 mai 2026Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Wie Deluxe ist übernachten bei Godde und wie lang beschäftigt ein Waal die Bundesrepublik? Wie sieht die Zugspitze von unten aus und welche neuen Geschäftsideen sind beim Release schon wieder veraltet? Wann beginnt die Weltumsegelung, was hat der 41 jährige LeGoat alles gelleistet und waren die Sportler früher besser? Warum gibt es keine variierenden Huptöne und wie anstrengend kann Autofahren sein? Wann ist ein Banküberfall kein Einbruch und wer ist im Film War Machine die eigentliche Maschine? Wieso darf man bei Zugverspätung keine Panik bekommen und wen sollte man bei Entführung nicht zu Rate ziehen? ZDP euer Skipper des Vertrauens auch bei Sturm auf See!

Alors qu'il mène actuellement la Globe40, nous rediffusons l'épisode enregistré le 14 mars 2021 avec Ian Lipinski : il y revient sur son parcours, de ses débuts en Mini à ses succès en Class40. Au micro de Pierre-Yves Lautrou, le skipper de Crédit Mutuel évoque son approche de la course au large, son état d'esprit et les choix qui ont marqué sa trajectoire. Un échange pour mieux comprendre le marin qu'il est aujourd'hui.--Qui a dit qu'il fallait être tombé dedans tout petit pour tutoyer les podiums en course au large ? Ian Lipinski a dû attendre ses 30 ans pour prendre le départ de sa première course en solo. Et s'est bien rattrapé durant la décennie suivante !Elevé en banlieue parisienne, ce fils d'une institutrice et d'un chercheur au CNRS attend l'adolescence pour découvrir la mer. A 15 ans, il participe à son premier stage aux Glénans, au cœur de l'archipel du même nom et c'est une révélation. Après des études scientifiques, il renonce à sa carrière d'ingénieur aéronautique pour un long séjour aux Glénans puis un tour de l'Atlantique en croisière.A son retour, il plonge dans le grand bain du Mini 6.50 et s'installe à Lorient ; il n'en ressortira que 6 saisons plus tard, avec un palmarès inégalé jusqu'ici : chavirage dans la Mini Transat 2013, vainqueur de l'édition 2015 en série, puis de l'édition 2017 en prototype, un doublé inédit en 40 ans d'histoire de l'épreuve.Ian Lipinski est monté d'une division en lançant en 2018 un projet Class40, restant fidèle à l'architecte de son dernier Mini 6.50, David Raison, qui lui dessine le premier "scow" de la classe, financé par le Crédit Mutuel. Quatre mois après sa mise à l'eau, il remporte avec Adrien Hardy la Transat Jacques Vabre, puis bat le record du Tour des îles britanniques en solo l'été suivant.A bientôt 40 ans, il a beau être l'un des favoris de la prochaine Transat Jacques Vabre et de la Route du Rhum 2022, il confie pourtant souffrir encore du "syndrome de l'imposteur", fruit d'un parcours hors des sentiers battus. Un drôle de syndrome... qui l'amène cependant à aller très vite sur l'eau !Rediffusé le 6 mars 2026Diffusé le 12 mars 2021Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Ce 245e épisode de Pos. Report refait le match de la deuxième édition de la Globe40, course autour du monde en double et par étapes, en compagnie du vainqueur, Ian Lipinski (Crédit Mutuel), et de son dauphin, Jonas Gerckens (Belgium Ocean Racing Curium).Les deux marins commencent par tirer le bilan de cette course au long cours qui a répondu à leurs attentes, sportivement, avec un duel de tous les instants entre leurs bateaux respectifs sur les six étapes, au niveau de l'expérience maritime, puisque l'un comme l'autre découvraient les mers du Sud, et de par sa dimension voyage.Nous revenons ensuite dans le détail sur les six étapes, Ian Lipinski raconte notamment le dénouement, terrible pour lui et Amélie Grassi, de la deuxième à La Réunion, qui a permis à Belgium Ocean Racing Curium de prendre la tête au général et a contraint Crédit Mutuel à un quasi sans-faute par la suite.Les deux marins racontent également l'arrivée ultra serrée de la quatrième étape à Valparaiso (Chili), avec l'impossibilité pour la direction de course de désigner un vainqueur et la décision du jury de déclarer les deux bateaux premiers ex aequo, puis l'étape du Horn marquée par un escale technique prématurée pour Belgium Ocean Racing Curium puis une “remontada” jusqu'à Recife où il a terminé deuxième.Tout s'est finalement joué sur l'ultime étape vers Lorient qui, jusqu'au bout, aura été indécise, Ian Lipinski expliquant n'avoir vraiment soufflé qu'à moins de 24 heures de la ligne. A l'arrivée, cette victoire restera “à part” dans son palmarès, qui en compte plusieurs (Mini Transat, Transat Jacques Vabre...), place désormais pour les deux marins au solitaire, avec des retrouvailles prévues sur la Drheam-Cup en juillet puis sur la Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe en novembre.Diffusé le 21 avril 2026Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Tout commence dans les boucles de la Seine, loin de la mer. Cédric Chateau grandit dans la campagne normande, entre Rouen et Anneville-sur-Seine, où ses parents les déposent, son frère Yann et lui, au club de voile local pour occuper les vacances. Un concours de circonstances qui va façonner deux trajectoires remarquables dans la voile française - l'un devenant directeur de course des plus grandes épreuves, l'autre un entraîneur et un coureur au parcours incroyablement dense.Autodidacte par nécessité, Cédric Chateau construit son parcours sans pôle France, sans sport-études, en squattant les groupes bretons et parisiens pour progresser. Après une carrière prometteuse en 470 puis en 49er, interrompue en 2003 à un an des Jeux d'Athènes pour des raisons économiques, il rejoint la Ligue de Voile de Normandie comme coach des 420. C'est là qu'il croise, dès 1999, de futurs champions : Charlie Dalin, Camille Lecointre - médaillée de bronze aux JO de Rio 2016 - Jérémie Mion, puis, plus tard, Guillaume Pirouelle. « On est juste un maillon de la chaîne », rappelle-t-il, avec modestie.La double casquette coach-régatier, pourtant, il la revendique. Le match racing d'abord, en équipe familiale avec Yann et Nathalie, sa femme, jusqu'à un ranking mondial de 3e avec Pierre-Antoine Morvan. Puis le TP52 Paprec, où il tient la barre depuis 2016 aux côtés de Loïck Peyron à la tactique, dans un équipage semi-amateur qui a terminé vice-champion du monde en 2025. Et enfin le Class40, où une révélation tardive l'emporte vers l'offshore : 5e de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2017, 6e en 2019, 3e en 2021 avec Jérémie Mion, avant la consécration : vainqueur de la Transat Café l'Or 2025 sur Seafrigo-Sogestran avec Guillaume Pirouelle, avec 7 minutes d'avance après 19 jours de traversée.Derrière cette performance, il y a un projet. Cédric Chateau a monté celui-ci comme une filière de formation normande, passant le relais de Mion à Pirouelle, et bientôt à un jeune coureur inconnu en 2027. L'ambition est claire : faire du Havre ce que Lorient est à la Bretagne, un écosystème complet où les talents n'ont plus besoin - s'ils le souhaitent - de migrer vers l'Ouest pour exister.Diffusé le 17 avril 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

A bientôt 26 ans, Jessie Kampman a déjà un sacré parcours. Née en Grande-Bretagne d'une mère anglaise et d'un père sud-africain, elle grandit dans le sud de la France, baignée par des cultures différentes - "Ça permet d'avoir une grande ouverture d'esprit", souligne-t-elle. Elle tire ses premiers bords à Sainte-Maxime, enchaîne dix ans de 420, deux fois championne d'Europe et 5e mondiale.Lors de ses études de droit à Southampton, elle découvre le kite, "une révélation". Elle se pique à la discipline et revient s'entraîner avec l'équipe de France, "il fallait que je cravache pour rattraper mon retard". En 2023, lors de la préparation pour les Jeux de Paris, elle est victime d'un accident qui lui "fait relativiser plein de choses et apprécier encore plus la vie".Depuis, Jessie Kampman, qui a quatre nationalités, a été sélectionnée par le défi français pour la première Women America's Cup de l'histoire en tant pilote remplaçante à Barcelone, "une expérience très inspirante", avant de changer de fédération pour courir sous les couleurs des Pays-Bas. En 2025, elle décroche le titre mondial et vise désormais les Jeux de Los Angeles, en 2028.Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par SailorzPrésenté par PaprecDiffusé le 15 avril 2026Post production : Théo LevillainGénérique : All the summer girlsHébergé par Ausha.

CFI and non-owners insurance is an endless source of questions in the CFI community. In this episode, Sarah Staudt, NAFI's program development manager, sits down with Avemco Insurance Company's Underwriting Manager Kim Skipper to break down the essentials of flight instructor insurance. From liability limits to common misconceptions, they unpack real-world scenarios and answer questions pulled straight from the NAFI community. If you're a CFI, this episode will help you better understand what your policy actually covers—and where the gaps might be. What you'll learn:  The difference between liability coverage and aircraft (hull) damage Why legal defense coverage might be your most valuable protection What it really means to be “at fault” in an insurance claim Common situations that are NOT covered (and surprise a lot of instructors) How non-owner policies differ from owner coverage Why your policy likely doesn't protect the aircraft owner The importance of selecting the right aircraft categories in your policy How ownership structures (like LLCs) can impact coverage The little-known “31-day rule” that could void a claim Why you should consider keeping your policy even after you stop instructing How past instruction coverage can protect you years later Why clearly defining your role in the cockpit matters—for more than just safety Don't miss Skipper's entertaining and informative episode from last year: https://youtu.be/faqbtn-ooTc If you aren't already a NAFI member, join us today!

Depuis début mars, le nouveau Maxi Edmond de Rothschild navigue au large de Lorient, une phase de tests qui va durer jusqu'à la fin de l'été. L'occasion de réécouter l'épisode #237 de Pos. Report consacré au nouvel Ultim, en compagnie du skipper Charles Caudrelier et du directeur du Gitana Team, Cyril Dardashti.--Ce 237e épisode de Pos. Report reçoit le skipper Charles Caudrelier et Cyril Dardashti, directeur général du Gitana Team, pour revenir sur la présentation le 3 décembre à Lorient du nouveau Gitana 18.Avec eux, nous passons en revue toutes les innovations du dernier-né des Ultim, conçu par Guillaume Verdier en collaboration avec les ingénieurs du Gitana Team. Charles Caudrelier explique que le cahier des charges initial était de permettre au bateau d'être beaucoup plus stable en vol que ne l'était le précédent, Gitana 17 (devenu Actual Ultim 4).D'où un cockpit intégré à la plateforme, tout en respectant les nouvelles règles de visibilité de la classe Ultim, pour un meilleur aérodynamisme, un mât-aile équipé de barres de flèche dynamiques inspiré des bateaux de la Coupe de l'America et des appendices particulièrement travaillés.Charles Caudrelier détaille ainsi les raisons qui ont conduit à des foils en Y réglables en trois dimensions, des safrans en U inversé dont la pelle reste ne tourne pas pour éviter la déformation, une aile de raie métallique sous la dérive. Il explique également pourquoi le Gitana Team a décidé de concevoir un pilote automatique en interne, avec la société WDS, un pilote plus “intelligent” qui devrait être synonyme de gain de performance.Les attentes pour ce nouveau bateau, qui devrait naviguer en février 2026 ? Un vol bien plus stable, donc des moyennes plus élevées, répond le skipper, qui s'est déjà beaucoup entraîné en simulateur. Reste à valider tout ça en mer, avec un programme bien chargé en 2026, explique Cyril Dardashti, et d'ores et déjà des objectifs élevés sur la Route du Rhum.Rediffusé le 7 avril 2026Diffusé le 9 décembre 2025Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecordsPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Figure singulière de la voile française, Sébastien Col, 48 ans, s'est construit loin des trajectoires classiques de la course au large en solitaire. Élevé sur un bateau qui sillonnait la Méditerranée, il développe très tôt une relation intuitive à l'océan avant de basculer vers la compétition sur le tard. Du Laser au match racing, il s'impose rapidement et multiplie les titres nationaux, porté par une capacité rare à lire le vent et, surtout, à comprendre les dynamiques collectives des équipages.Le match racing devient son terrain d'expression. Il y forge une conviction centrale : la performance repose sur l'alignement des individus. Cette recherche du “flow collectif”, état de grâce où tout s'enchaîne naturellement à bord, irrigue toute sa carrière. Elle explique aussi ses choix, privilégiant les projets d'équipage aux aventures solitaires, malgré quelques incursions marquantes au large.Son parcours s'inscrit ensuite dans les grandes campagnes de l'America's Cup, où il enchaîne plusieurs cycles. Il y découvre un univers d'une exigence extrême, dominé autant par la technologie que par la complexité humaine. Derrière les performances, il décrit des équipes sous tension permanente, où la gestion des egos et des équilibres internes conditionne autant les résultats que la vitesse des bateaux.En parallèle, il cultive une carrière hybride, naviguant entre circuits professionnels, grands prix, multicoques à foils et course au large comme la Transat Jacques Vabre, qu'il court à trois reprises et remporte en 2015 avec Vincent Riou. Cette diversité devient un levier d'apprentissage constant. Refusant de s'enfermer dans un seul format, il anticipe aussi les évolutions du sport, notamment le basculement vers le foil, qu'il choisit d'embrasser dès le milieu des années 2010.Plus récemment, Sébastien Col élargit son champ d'action en devenant team manager d'Holcim PRB The Ocean Race Europe. Une évolution logique, où la performance ne se limite plus au sportif mais englobe partenaires, organisation et gestion de crise. Son approche reste constante : créer les conditions d'un collectif performant, où les bonnes décisions, prises très tôt, orientent durablement la trajectoire d'un projet.Diffusé le 3 avril 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Théo LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

This is the second of a series of posts about the literary alchemy of J. K. Rowling, a discussion jumpstarted by a post by ‘Iris' at a Strike fan website, an article that championed a Jungian perspective on this subject. The first post in this series, Literary Alchemy – A Primer for Those Interested in J. K. Rowling's Artistry, both explained what the ‘Iris' post asserted and reviewed much of the critical literature that the brevity of the S&E Files article prevented her from discussing. See that post for links to this material. The conversation between Nick Jeffery and John Granger above was recorded in the same spirit as the first post was written, namely, simultaneously a welcome to Strike fans and Rowling readers who have learned about literary alchemy only recently and an introduction to the work of the last twenty five years on this subject. Upcoming posts in the series will include a counter-point discussion in the debate Rowling is fostering about whether a psychological or spiritual perspective is better for understanding art and life and a review of the alchemical signatures that crowd Rowling-Galbraith's Hallmarked Man.This post is largely links to sources for points Nick and John discuss in their naturally enthusiastic and contrarian conversation, question by question. Enjoy!1. Welcome to the Conversation! (Nick) I just sent out an article about literary alchemy, John, in response to an article written by ‘Iris' and posted on the Strike-Ellacott Files website, a piece titled ‘What is Literary Alchemy? Spotting symbols that map Strike and Robin's growth.' What advice or guidance would you give to, say, Cormoran Strike readers who are brand new to the subject? * There are three types of alchemy and it is important to understand the common ground they share and the differences between them;* The first type is alchemy proper, which is to say ‘metallurgical alchemy,' the sacred science of purifying metals and the adept's soul via the creation of a Philosopher's Stone that will transform lead to gold and exude an elixir of life, the drinking of which will bestow immortality;* The second and third types of alchemy derive from interpretations of metallurgical alchemy's aims and the symbolic texts detailing the work in the hermetic laboratory;* Literary alchemy is the use of metallurgical alchemy's language, colors, sequences, and symbols in plays, poetry, and story to foster an edifying and transformative experience in the artist's theater or reading audience;* Psychological alchemy is Carl Jung's use of metallurgical alchemy's texts during and after WWII to illustrate his ideas of the integration of the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human mind;* Metallurgical alchemy was practiced in China, the Levant, India, and Europe within the revealed religious traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity until its degeneration in the late Medieval period and eventual evolution into the strictly materialist chemistry we know today;* Literary alchemy has been a continuous stream in literature from Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and the Metaphysical poets through to Dickens, Yeats, the Inklings, Joyce, Nabokov, and J. K. Rowling;* The academic study of “alchemy in literature” was the province of Baconian and allegorical readings of Shakespeare (cf., Beryl Pogson, Peter Dawkins, Martin Lings) until the late 20th Century and the advent of academic specialists in ‘Hermetic Studies,' e.g., Stanton Linden, Lyndy Abraham, and Charles Nicholl (cf., Cauda Pavonis: A Journal of Hermetic Studies, 1982-2000).* Jung and his followers used their psychological interpretations of metallurgical alchemy as allegories of the soul to interpret mythology (cf., Erich Neumann, Marie-Louise Von Franz, Robert Johnson);* Jungian analysis of story using Jung's ideas of subconscious archetypes within a collective unconscious was popularized by Joseph Campbell in his guides to Joyce's Ulysses and his more well known works on mythology (e.g., The Hero With a Thousand Faces);* ‘Isis' in her S&E Files article, ‘What is Literary Alchemy?,' suggests that Rowling-Galbraith is writing an allegory of soul transformation in the Cormoran Strike series using metallurgical alchemy's symbols and sequences as understood by Carl Jung and his disciples rather than as used by English writers since the 13th Century;* It's a challenging theory, the depth of which is hard to grasp without an appreciation of the types of alchemy, what they have in common, and their differences in approach and subject matter.2. The Lake: (John) What I found most fascinating in your post, Nick, was your best guesses about where Rowling would have learned about literary alchemy. She claimed in 1998 that she'd read a lot of alchemical texts from which she set the “magical parameters” of the Hogwarts Saga; if you had only three chances to name one of those books, what would you choose? * Charles Nicholl's The Chemical Theatre;* Titus Burckhardt's Alchemy: Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul (or Mirror of the Intellect: Essays on Traditional Acience and Sacred Art);* Lyndy Abraham Summerhaze's Marvell and Alchemy or her Dictionary of Alchemical Imagery;* Martin Lings' The Secret of Shakespeare3. Carl Jung, Alchemy: (Nick) I see you're chafing at the bit, John, with book titles I haven't mentioned so let me name-drop the author not on my list because, as you pointed out, he wasn't really a literary alchemist so much as a psychologist who discussed alchemy as a means of illustrating his own ideas about the ‘Great Work.' You've written, though, that literary alchemy as with metallurgical alchemy is a subset of soul-allegories or Psychomachia. Don't Jung's ideas jibe with that? * Yes and no!* Jung's ideas of the soul and archetypes (or archetypal forms) are based on late 19th Century Volkischer German ideas, which is to say, modern and materialist (some say ‘vitalist') premises. His hostility to Christianity and Judaism was grounded in his acceptance of Darwinian evolution and derived philosophically from Nietzsche (see Richard Noll's The Jung Cult and The Aryan Christ).* He conflates the spiritual with the psychological, consequently, and embraces integrated individual psychological health as the telos of human existence, none of which is consistent with traditional metallurgical or literary alchemy (see Titus Burckhardt's Mirror of the Intellect, Philip Sherrard's ‘An Introduction to the Religious Thought of C. G. Jung,' and Harry Oldmeadow's ‘C.G. Jung & Mircea Eliade: ‘Priests without Surplices'? Reflections on the Place of Myth, Religion and Science in Their Work.'* Psychological alchemy, insomuch as it is ‘Jungian,' is well removed from the other two types of alchemy. Which is not to say that Rowling is not a Jungian and hence a Jungian psychological alchemist.4. Back into the Lake: (John) You covered in your article, though, Nick, the several reasons to think it possible, even probable that the evidence from Rowling's life suggests she is using Jungian ideas in her literary alchemy. Iris over at S&E Files obviously thinks that is the case. What are the for and against ideas with respect to Rowling being a Jungian? There's Plenty of Evidence That Rowling IS a Jungian Writer:John Granger's discussion in Troubled Blood: A Jungian Reading* Robin's name-dropping Jung in conversation about astrology;* The Jungian notes sounded throughout Strike 5: Archetypes, Synchronicity, Persona;* The connection between Jung's illustrated ‘New Book' and Talbot's ‘True Book;' and* Pointers to Cupid-Psyche myth as understood by Jungians (see below)The Advent of Prudence Dunleavy, Jungian Psychologist, in Ink Black Heart* Hard to imagine a more sympathetic portrait of a Jungian than half-sister Prudence!* She clearly was the genius behind the Rokeby reconciliation in Hallmarked ManThe Cupid and Psyche myth underpinning the Strike series* A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus (note the discussion here of the Jungian understanding of this specific myth)* Ink Black Heart: Strike as Zeus to Robin's Leda and as Cupid to Mads' Psyche* ‘Rowling Points to Myth of Cupid and Psyche in order to Console Strike Fans Disappointed with Hallmarked Man‘* The Hallmarked Man‘s Mythological Template (Nick Jeffery, John Granger)Anything Else? Oh, yeah —* Rowling studied mythology in her ‘Classical Studies' program at UExeter and almost certainly encountered Jungian interpretation of myths there (e.g. the work of Neumann, Johnson, Campbell).* Rowling told Val McDermid if she had not become a successful writer she would have sought training and certification as a psychologist. * Her work reflects a broad reading in psychology (cf., Louise Freeman Davis' ‘J. K. Rowling and the Phantoms in the Brain,' ‘Cormoran Strike and the Itch that Cannot Be Scratched') and it is likely that she has read her fair share of Jung and Jungian authors during her studies.* Rowling benefited from psychological therapy and exercises herself when suffering from depression, the experience of and recovery from which she depicted in story via the Azkaban Dementors and Robin Ellacott's treatment for PTSD in Lethal White.And There is Plenty of Evidence That Rowling Is NOT a Jungian Writer:* Rowling has never been asked or revealed how she learned about literary alchemy; this includes, of course, any reference to Carl Jung, whose work was not focused on literary alchemy per se but a psychological interpretation or explanation of metallurgical alchemy's symbolism.* All that Rowling has revealed about her experiences as a patient seeking help with depression are about Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which treatment modality owes nothing to Jung or to Jung's students.* It is possible that Rowling encountered esoteric metallurgical alchemy, the precursor to literary alchemy, in her study of astrology, the complementary traditional sacred science to alchemy, a skill-set with which we know she was accomplished. That route to alchemy would have led her to Perennialist interpretations of alchemy, most notably Titus Burckhardt‘s Alchemy, Science of the Cosmos, Science of the Soul; the paperback cover of the Penguin Metaphysical Library edition of that book (1974) features an androgynous giant named REBIS standing on a dragon and a winged golden sphere (i.e., Rubeus, Norbert, Snitch).* As mentioned above, it is more likely that she encountered literary alchemy in her study of Shakespeare. The year she was studying for her A Levels, she traveled to see a production of King Lear which has prompted the idea that it was on her list of texts to prepare for her tests. The most challenging interpretation of Lear then in print was Charles Nicholl's The Chemical Theatre (1980), a book that explains almost every scene in perhaps Shakespeare's greatest tragedy as a parallel step in the Great Work of alchemy. If the budding astrologer was fascinated by this allegorical interpretation of the Bard, the most popular work in print at that time that championed reading Shakespeare as the author of soul allegories was Perennialist Martin Lings‘ The Secret of Shakespeare (1984).* Literary Alchemy is a tool set employed not only by Shakespeare but by a host of Rowling favorite authors to include Dickens, Nabokov, Lewis, and Tolkien. This view of alchemy, that is, as an allegorical depiction of the soul's transformation that affects that same cathartic experience in its theater or reading audiences, is the one found in Rowling's work, which is well removed from psychological alchemy, an analytic art which, though it springs from metallurgical alchemical texts, does not aim at the transformation at work in the sacred art or the science of traditional alchemy. * Rowling's use of chiastic structures and psychomachian allegory, tools that complement literary alchemy in spiritual perspective and aim, make a Jungian rather than a literary and Perennialist view of alchemy seem unlikely.* Alchemy: Jung, Burckhardt, or Maclean? John Granger, April 2007* Rowling's Soul Triptych Psychomachia: Is It From Shakespeare's ‘Macbeth'? John Granger, September 20245. The Debate at King's Cross: (Nick) So, John, you've mentioned Jung quite a few times in your posts about the Mythological framework of the Strike series and even written about the Jungian ideas of animus and anima with respect to Cormoran and Robin's relationship. You seem fairly confident, though, that Rowling is writing from the traditional esoteric ideas of alchemy a la Shakespeare rather than Jung's. Why is that? * Everything you just said!* As noted, Jung's ideas are modern and psychological while the stream of literary alchemy in English Literature is almost exclusively more Medieval and pointedly spiritual;* The Most Notable Exception: Angela Carter's The Passion of the New Eve (1977), that reads like a Jungian ‘Red Book' slide-show (think Bombyx Mori) or a transgender Odyssey written for feminists. Rowling has never mentioned her to my knowledge but it would be surprising if she hadn't read this book more than once. What Alana Bolton Cooke wrote about Carter's Passion could be said about Rowling's literary alchemy if she is a Jungian writer (or about Galbraith's fictional Elizabeth Tassel?):Angela Carter in The Passion of New Eve (1977) uses the exoteric phases of alchemy and Carl G. Jung's theory of esoteric alchemy as a means of demonstrating allegorically the idea ofrebirth and renewal. The purpose of this allegorical method is to produce an 'alchemical' change of thought in the reader about sexuality and gender associated with women's repression and liberation. In the novel Carter develops themes and ideas explored in her essay, The Sadeian Woman: An Exercise in Cultural History (1979), an analysis of the Marquis de Sade's pornography and its affect on the roles of men and women in society. The clash of opposites involved in combining alchemical symbolism, feminism and pornography within the fiction can be seen as representative of the state of chaos present in alchemy before the beginning of change. The circular narrative and alchemical structure of the fiction creates a literary version of the alchemical process as it brings together opposites involved in chaos, represented by events and characterisation that the protagonist, Evelyn/Eve, experiences, until, in the manner of alchemy, harmony is reached. The harmony created represents women's empowerment. Carter uses Evelyn's individuation process to encourage growth within the reader by altering patterns of thought to bring about change through self-confrontation and self-knowledge. The structure of Carter's fiction, thus, corresponds to the process of esoteric alchemy contained within the structure, imagery and symbolism of exoteric alchemy. The fiction is designed to stimulate the unconscious of the reader and make conscious hitherto unknown and repressed thoughts about gender and sexuality to bring about change in the lives of men and women.* I think what Rowling said she was trying to do with Harry Potter's meeting with Dumbledore at the dream-like King's Cross strongly suggests she is aware of the two approaches and wants readers to discuss them – but that she has made her own choice, however conflicted she may be.* In her 2008 interview with Adeel Amini, Rowling said that her hope for Harry's post-mortem conversation with Dumbledore at King's Cross was to stimulate “a debate” among readers about whether it was a psychological moment, that is, a fantasy in which Harry understands what he's been missing all along, or a spiritual event in which he is actually speaking with the late Headmaster:Enough Potter-plot, I think. Moving on to a slightly more contentious issue, Rowling has categorically said that she does believe in a higher power, a statement reinforced by her childhood church-going (“Till I was 17,” she clarifies). It must be difficult to reconcile her religious beliefs with those that denounce Harry Potter as anti-Christian, I wonder aloud. Rowling's expression does not change a fraction. “There was a Christian commentator who said, which I thought was very interesting, that Harry Potter had been the Christian church's biggest missed opportunity. And I thought, there's someone who actually has their eyes open.“I think he said it before the publication of the seventh book, and with the publication of the seventh book I think that clarified a lot of people's view on where I was standing. But I should emphasise that I am not pushing a specifically Christian agenda, and indeed till the very last moment in book seven, one can interpret what happens to Harry after he presents himself with death as him going into an unconscious state in which his subconscious reveals to him what he already knew.” I hum in faux-comprehension of what she's referring to; luckily my clued-in companion is nodding wildly. Proceed. “Any re-reading of Chapter 35 will show you that there's nothing that the Dumbledore he sees tells him that he couldn't have guessed for himself or already realised, and of course there's a key piece of information that Dumbledore doesn't articulate that Harry has realised. So you can deliberately interpret it that way, or you can say that he did go into a state of limbo beyond which there was another life, and that idea was expressed repeatedly, and most explicitly at the end of book five, Order of the Phoenix, where Harry understands that there is an ‘on', that you do go on. “I wanted there to be a debate there, so of my three main characters - when they come into the room which examines death at the Ministry of Magic - Hermione, the ultimate sceptic and a hyperrational person, hears nothing behind the veil and is scared of it. Ron is just uneasy; Ron is someone who does not grapple with anything deeper than beer, if he can avoid it. Harry's drawn to it, and therein lies Harry's slightly reckless, almost morbid streak, because Harry does have a hint of that dangerous adolescent trait which is the attraction to death.” Heavy. Obviously with this ambiguity, you do get a fair degree of misinterpretation as well; there is a certain section that does dislike Harry Potter intensely. “Oh, vehemently,” says Rowling, before muttering under her breath “…and they send death threats.”* I think that “debate” she's trying to foster is between the psychological, call it ‘Jungian' “just inside your head” subconscious perspective, and the authentically spiritual view of her work (well, of art and human existence, too, of course). And that this debate is one she has had for most of her life. Check out her comments about the “greatest missed opportunity” and explain to me how that doesn't line up with her preferring the spiritual, albeit “not explicitly Christian,” to the psychological and humanist. 7. Jungian Readings of Rowling's Work: (Nick) John, you're familiar with what has been written by Potter Pundits because of your PhD critical literature surveys; what are the better ones about Rowling and Jungian psychology and what do they emphasize? Here are seven off the top of my head (and Thesis ‘Works Cited' drafts):* Grynbaum, G.A. (2000). The Secrets of Harry Potter. The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal: Reviews From a Jungian Perspective of Books, Films and Culture, [online] 19 (4) pp. 17-48* Patrick, Christopher and Sarah (2007), ‘Exploring the Dark Side: Harry Potter and the Psychology of Evil,' in Mulholland (ed.), The Psychology of Harry Potter, BenBella Books, pp 221-232* Gerhold, C. (2011). The Hero's Journey Through Adolescence: A Jungian Archetypal Analysis of “Harry Potter.” PsyD. The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. * Rectenwald, Bob (2019). ‘Carl Jung's Impact on the Work of J. K. Rowling' * Skipper, Alicia and Kate Fulton (2021) ‘Out from the Shadows into the Light: Persona and Shadow in Harry Potter‘ in Anne Mamary (ed.) The Alchemical Harry Potter: Essays on Transfiguration in J. K. Rowling's Novels, McFarland, Jefferson, NC, 2021, pp 79-96* The Unfolding Journey, Jung's Shadow Self in Harry Potter: Confronting the Darkness Within (YouTube video)* My own Troubled Blood: A Jungian ReadingBob Rectenwald's piece is the best of the six I didn't write but it shares the several faults all the Jungian pieces make:* the first failing of even the best Jungian readers is the assumption that Rowling is a Jungian, which is an open question;* the next is that Jung's ideas (and Joseph Campbell's) are indisputably true; and* the last is, when alchemy is mentioned, the critics do not clarify either the commonalities of or the differences between literary alchemy, psychological alchemy, and Jungian analytic psychology. * Note, though, that Rowling, while aware of such Jungian tropes as the Hero's Journey, tweeks it shamelessly, adding a symbol of Christ and resurrection scene in every Potter story (cf., How Harry Cast His Spell, ‘The Harry's Journey,' pp 21-28).* Read her brief PotterMore piece on alchemy and note that it is written in such a way that it can be read as confirmation of either a psychological or spiritual perspective on alchemy and art:One interpretation of the ‘instructions' left by the alchemists is that they are symbolic of a spiritual journey, leading the alchemist from ignorance (base metal) to enlightenment (gold). There seems to have been a mystical element to the work the alchemist was engaged upon, which set it apart from chemistry (of which it was undoubtedly both an offshoot and forerunner).This “original writing” by Rowling, especially the words “spiritual” and “mystical,” suggests that she is a Perennialist rather than a Jungian, at least with respect to her understanding of alchemy. But the debate is still possible with Jungians who read those words as cyphers for the subsconscious contact they hold we have with archetypes.8. Back to the Alchemy: (John) I think the real question of whether Rowling's literary alchemy is predominantly literary and spiritual or psychological in orientation comes down to the postmodern confusion about the immaterial aspects of the human person, which is to say, the soul (or mind, psyche) and the spirit. Rowling's recent work may seem prosaic or secular to a casual reader who compares it to the relatively otherworldly and “obviously” symbolic Potter books, but she loads each Strike book with Shakespearean romance of soul and spirit, i.e., alchemical dramas, and hermetic tropes. I'm writing a piece now about the lions, dogs, incest, and the red man and white woman in Hallmarked Man, each of which are touchstones of alchemy. I think, though, that your work with Rowling's favorite books and her epigraph sources, Nick, point to a strong spiritual rather than psychological foundation in Rowling's work —* Louisa May Alcott, Little Women* Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle* The Victorian Women Poets in Running Grave* Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh* Robert Browning, The Ring and the Book* The Jungian love of the I Ching, Running Grave's epigraph source9. Jung in Running Grave: (Nick) Rowling's favorite writers, from Shakespeare and Nabokov to C. S. Lewis and Victorian Women poets, all clearly believe in a world-transcending spiritual realm. Given the quantity of the Jungian scholarship in Rowling Studies that Iris referred to and you've mentioned, it's curious -- if Rowling is aware of it and is resistant to it -- that she doesn't push back against it explicitly in her work. Can you think of a character that seems something like Jung in the books, someone as bad as Prudence Dunleavey is good? I can think of three:* United Humanitarian Church's guru Jonathan Wace in Running Grave: his “psychologizing of religion,” the comparative religion avenue to denial of any true faith, the psychological critical analysis of a patient using mythological tropes (”Artemis”), the cult leader, and the abuser of women and children -- he's a ringer for Jung! * Paul Satchwell, one-eyed serpent with a one-track mind, in Leamington Spa, a true Jungian artist working psycho-sexual motifs graphically on canvas:Naked figures twisted and cavorted in scenes from Greek mythology. Persephone struggled in the arms of Hades as he carried her down into the underworld; Andromeda strained against chains binding her to rock as a dragonish creature rose from the waves to devour her; Leda lay supine in bulrushes as Zeus, in the form of a swan, impregnated her.Two lines of Joni Mitchell floated back to Robin as she looked at the paintings: “When I first saw your gallery, I liked the ones of ladies…”Except that Robin wasn't sure she liked the paintings. The female figures were all black-haired, olive-skinned, heavy-breasted and partially or entirely naked. The paintings were accomplished, but Robin found them slightly lascivious. Each of the women wore a similar expression of vacant abandon, and Satchwell seemed to have a definite preference for those myths that featured bondage, rape or abduction. (Troubled Blood, 542)* And then there are the Masons, kind of an old school Jungian cult in Hallmarked Man. Like the UHC and “harmless” fraternal and charitable group with Christian touches but which doesn't change a man or human nature per Hardacre (and which harbors the rich and powerful like Lord Branfoot). * Coupled with Prudence, the Front of Jungian Beliefs, we get the front and back of Jung in Rowling's work, a characteristic touch of Rowling nuance as she did with Islam in Hallmarked Man.10. Conclusion: (John) I'm obviously not a Jung fan and I don't think Rowling is writing Jungian psychomachia in alchemical symbols a la Angela Carter, but I see how people would come to a contrary conclusion; Rowling's ‘spiritual not religious' public statements and political positions with respect to Same Sex Attraction and abortion line up much more easily with New Age and Jungian types than with any kind of orthodox Christianity. The great thing about essays like Isis' at S&E Files is that it brings more people into the conversation of what literary alchemy is and the various approaches to it. You've been reading about literary alchemy for several years now, Nick; what do you think the person whose first encounter with the subject was the S&E Files article do to hone their alchemy detection skills? * “Read your books and online talks, John!”* How Metallurgical Alchemy Worked and How it Became Literary Alchemy (from Deathly Hallows Lectures, Chapter 1):Alchemy, in a nutshell, was the science for the perfection or sanctification of the alchemist's soul. This heroic venture I need to say straight off is all but impossible today because the way we look at reality, at ‘things' per se makes the Great Work itself almost an absurdity. Unlike the medieval alchemists, we moderns and postmoderns see things with a clear subject/object distinction, that is, we believe that you and I and that table are entirely different things and between them is there is no connection or relation. The knowing subject is one thing and the observed object is completely ‘other.'To the alchemist that is not the case. His efforts in changing lead to gold are based on the premise that he as the subject will go through the same types of changes and purifications as the materials he is working with. In sympathy with these metallurgical transitions and resolutions of contraries, his soul will be purified in correspondence as long as he is working in a prayerful state within the Mysteries (sacraments) of his revealed tradition.Now, historically there was an Arabic alchemy, a Chinese alchemy, a Kabbalistic, as well as a Christian alchemy; each differs superficially with respect to their spiritual traditions but in every one, the alchemist was working with a sacred natural science or physics to advance his spiritual purification. This was only possible because he looked at the metal he was working with as something with which he was not ‘other' but with which he was in relationship, artifex and artifact in sacred art imitating and accelerating the work of the Creator creating a bridge, so that, as lead changes to gold or material perfection, his soul was going through similar transformations and purifications.The common ground is the logos in every created thing, to include persons (cf. John 1:9), which are all continuous with the Logos fabric of reality. As much as the alchemist identifies with this metaphysical ground, purifying himself of the ‘old man' or ego-driven individual and identifying himself with the spiritual Heart or light within him, that light will become his dominant quality, hence his “illumination” or “enlightenment”. And lead or solid darkness turning into gold, hard light.How does this edifying magic become the scaffolding for Harry's adventures? Largely through the genius of William Shakespeare. Hermetic wisdom and alchemical efforts were such commonplaces in Elizabethan England that Shakespeare and his contemporaries recognized, I think. that the magic of staged drama is essentially alchemical. If we groundlings are all watching what's going on up on the stage and everything is working the way it's supposed to, the subject-object distinction dissolves inasmuch as we identify with the characters and their agonies through our logos-imaginations. As they go through their changes, like the metals in a crucible, we identify with them and pass through the same cathartic moment.As the great dramatists of that period realized, “if what we're doing is alchemical, why don't we use alchemical imagery and language, too?” And, voila, literary alchemy is born. This stream of English literature in which narrator or characters and the reader or audience in correspondence pass through the stages of the alchemical work, the black the white and the red (basically dissolution, purification, and then perfection) runs through the next five centuries of poetry, stage work, stories and novels. You may not have recognized it, but its a big part of things you have read.* Literary Alchemy: Sacred Science, Sacred Art, and ‘The Alembic of Story':A Perennialist Explanation of J. K.

Center solved: Cade Mays and the pocket math The Detroit Lions moved decisively at the spot that mattered most. Center was a top need. Cade Mays arrives as the prize of this free agency window and fits what this offense asks. He is better in pass pro than as a straight mauler. That matters for Jared Goff. Immediate interior pressure is what stresses this passing game. Mays lowers that risk and stabilizes the middle. His background adds value. In four years in Carolina, he worked under three different offensive coordinators with different blocking schemes. He played guard early, shifted responsibilities, and handled more read and react asks. He has not been asked to be aggressive while at center. Detroit can shape that. The contract tells the story too. Mays is the only multiyear signing so far. That signals starting center now and a long-term plan inside. Short-term bets and a long-term tell Elsewhere, the approach stayed disciplined. One-year deals fill immediate needs without anchoring the cap to older veterans. Avoidance of bad contracts is the point. Younger players with short-term upside get the nod over aging names signed for comfort. Expectations of a giant splash never made sense beyond center. Nothing they did, with the exception of Mays, should tilt the draft board. The front office cleared the road for April. Flexibility matters in the NFL. Detroit can target value and avoid reaching. The Detroit Lions Podcast framed it simply: stock the depth chart now, let the draft finish the job. Tackle depth, placeholders, and the next move Larry Borom arrived to be the swing tackle and a placeholder at left tackle while Decker is still out there. The number is modest, roughly in that $5 million range, and not a commitment. He is an upgrade over Giovanni Manu and over what Dan Skipper offered last year. Skipper is coaching now, which closes that loop. There is more depth in the pipeline. Horton has upside and is from Detroit. Juice Scruggs came in via the demo trade and profiles as another interior option. These are the kinds of layers that keep an NFL roster functional through camp and into October. One question remains open by design: is Borom better on the right or left? The Lions can let that play out while the draft provides another swing at tackle or interior help. The plan stays intact, and the board stays clean. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #cademays #startingcenter #passpro #interiorpressure #jaredgoff #blockingschemes #readandreactasks #playedguardearly #multiyearsigning #draftboardflexibility Learn more about your ad choices.

C'est un épisode d'Into The Wind un peu particulier, puisque nous y accueillons un ultra-trailer venu se frotter au monde de la course au large : Mathieu Blanchard. Athlète de référence (deux podiums à l'UTMB, vainqueur, entre autres, de la Diagonale des Fous et de la Yukon Arctic Ultra), nourri à l'endurance extrême et à l'exploration de soi, il bascule ici dans un univers radicalement différent, celui de l'Imoca de Conrad Colman, le temps d'une Transat Café L'Or épique. L'échange s'ouvre sur ce décalage : celui d'un athlète aguerri qui découvre, presque naïvement, la violence spécifique de la course au large, et met en lumière une discipline dont les codes et la dureté sont souvent banalisés par ceux qui la pratiquent.Le projet naît d'une opportunité, mais s'ancre dans une trajectoire personnelle plus profonde : une enfance marquée par l'univers marin, puis une fascination tardive pour la voile de compétition. Rapidement, la réalité rattrape la projection. Formation accélérée, apprentissage technique, adaptation physique : Blanchard entre dans un monde où l'erreur se paie immédiatement. La découverte de l'Imoca, machine à la fois sophistiquée et spartiate, révèle un contraste brutal avec son sport d'origine : ici, la performance passe par la maîtrise d'un système complexe autant que par la résistance du corps.La course elle-même agit comme un révélateur. Dès le départ, les conditions extrêmes et les avaries plongent Blanchard dans une logique de survie. Privé de sommeil, confronté au mal de mer et à une fatigue cumulative, le trailer des Deux-Alpes décrit une expérience limite, loin de l'image héroïque souvent associée aux marins. Son témoignage, notamment via ses récits en mer, introduit un regard extérieur rare : celui d'un athlète de haut niveau qui redécouvre la notion d'inconfort absolu et requalifie la performance des navigateurs.Une fois la tempête passée, l'expérience bascule. Le rythme s'apaise, laissant place à l'apprentissage, à la contemplation et à une forme de reconnexion au temps long. Blanchard y retrouve des mécanismes familiers issus de l'ultra-endurance : gestion mentale, cycles de fatigue, adaptation permanente. Mais il en tire aussi des enseignements nouveaux, notamment sur le sommeil fractionné et la dimension collective de la performance, inhabituelle dans une discipline individuelle comme le trail.Au terme de la traversée, le bilan est lucide. L'expérience a déplacé ses repères, sans pour autant redéfinir son cap. Si la voile reste un terrain d'exploration, elle apparaît moins comme un objectif de performance que comme un prolongement d'une quête plus large : celle de l'aventure.Diffusé le 20 mars 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Alors qu'il mène actuellement la Globe40, nous rediffusons l'épisode enregistré le 14 mars 2021 avec Ian Lipinski : il y revient sur son parcours, de ses débuts en Mini à ses succès en Class40. Au micro de Pierre-Yves Lautrou, le skipper de Crédit Mutuel évoque son approche de la course au large, son état d'esprit et les choix qui ont marqué sa trajectoire. Un échange pour mieux comprendre le marin qu'il est aujourd'hui.--Qui a dit qu'il fallait être tombé dedans tout petit pour tutoyer les podiums en course au large ? Ian Lipinski a dû attendre ses 30 ans pour prendre le départ de sa première course en solo. Et s'est bien rattrapé durant la décennie suivante !Elevé en banlieue parisienne, ce fils d'une institutrice et d'un chercheur au CNRS attend l'adolescence pour découvrir la mer. A 15 ans, il participe à son premier stage aux Glénans, au cœur de l'archipel du même nom et c'est une révélation. Après des études scientifiques, il renonce à sa carrière d'ingénieur aéronautique pour un long séjour aux Glénans puis un tour de l'Atlantique en croisière.A son retour, il plonge dans le grand bain du Mini 6.50 et s'installe à Lorient ; il n'en ressortira que 6 saisons plus tard, avec un palmarès inégalé jusqu'ici : chavirage dans la Mini Transat 2013, vainqueur de l'édition 2015 en série, puis de l'édition 2017 en prototype, un doublé inédit en 40 ans d'histoire de l'épreuve.Ian Lipinski est monté d'une division en lançant en 2018 un projet Class40, restant fidèle à l'architecte de son dernier Mini 6.50, David Raison, qui lui dessine le premier "scow" de la classe, financé par le Crédit Mutuel. Quatre mois après sa mise à l'eau, il remporte avec Adrien Hardy la Transat Jacques Vabre, puis bat le record du Tour des îles britanniques en solo l'été suivant.A bientôt 40 ans, il a beau être l'un des favoris de la prochaine Transat Jacques Vabre et de la Route du Rhum 2022, il confie pourtant souffrir encore du "syndrome de l'imposteur", fruit d'un parcours hors des sentiers battus. Un drôle de syndrome... qui l'amène cependant à aller très vite sur l'eau !Rediffusé le 6 mars 2026Diffusé le 12 mars 2021Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Dan Skipper reports for duty on the Lions coaching staff The Daily DLP for Thursday celebrates recently retired offensive lineman Dan Skipper rejoining the Detroit Lions as a coach. While we don't yet know the exact coaching role, bringing Skipper back to the Lions' den is a savvy nod to his grit, as well as his proven leadership with the players on the offensive roster already. Skipper joins LB coach Shaun Dion Hamilton as guys who moved straight from the field into the Lions coaching staff. After working out well in a short trial run coaching tight ends and offensive tackles at the Shrine Bowl right after he retired in January, Skipper is ready. With all the talk about Taylor Decker potentially retiring, and with Frank Ragnow's early retirement still fresh, now some other NFC contenders are facing some potential, unexpected retirements on their offensive lines. How does that impact the Lions, the draft class and the outlook for the Rams and Eagles? The DLP Prospect of the Day is Auburn DL Keldric Faulk, who looks to be a very real possibility for the Lions at No. 17 overall. There is a lot to like about Faulk, but he won't excite every Lions fan for a few reasons. Faulk is only 20 and can play the way Levi Onwuzurike, Marcus Davenport and John Cominsky have done for Detroit recently--and he's healthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVADSWsYCtI #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #danskipper #assistantoffensiveline #assistanttightendscoach #shrinebowl #frisco #texas #lockerroomleader #sidelinefrustration #hankfraley #dancampbell #giovannimanu Learn more about your ad choices.
