Mercredi 15 février 2023 Dialogue autour de la parution en français de “Feuilles de route” de Franco Fortini, paru aux éditions Nous. Avec Giulia Camin, traductrice, Benoit Casas, éditeur et traducteur et Martin Rueff, auteur de la postface.Classique de la littérature italienne du vingtième siècle, Feuille de route est le premier livre de poèmes de Franco Fortini traduit intégralement en français. Figure exemplaire de l'intellectuel engagé, Franco Fortini est aussi l'un des grands poètes italiens du vingtième siècle, encore trop peu connu en France. Foglio di via est son premier livre, et sans doute son livre de poèmes le plus emblématique.Franco Fortini (1917-1994) : parmi les auteurs les plus importants du vingtième siècle italien, il est sans aucun doute celui qu'on connaît le moins en France, si ce n'est par le film de Straub et Huillet Fortini/Cani. Son œuvre, vaste et multiforme, est pourtant exemplaire par sa façon de mener de front la pratique de la poésie, l'écriture critique et les textes d'intervention

Chantal Michel, preisgekrönte Schweizer Künstlerin, trifft auf Matti Straub, Coach und Helikopterpilot. Bei Christian Zeugin geben sie Einblicke in ihr Leben. Chantal Michel (56) – Künstlerin und Selbstversorgerin Chantal Michel ist bekannt für ihre begehbaren Kunstwelten, die sie in leerstehenden Schlössern, Villen oder Kirchen erschafft. Ihre Werke sind ebenso poetisch wie radikal, stets durchdrungen von Fantasie, Sinnlichkeit und einer verspielten Auseinandersetzung mit Identität, Körper und Raum. Heute lebt sie auf einem alten Bauernhof in Diessbach bei Büren, den sie zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk aus Permakultur, Performance und Kulinarik verwandelt hat. Ihre Kunst lebt vom Moment – und davon, was andere achtlos zurücklassen. __________________ Matti Straub (52) – Berater und Helikopterpilot Matti Straub ist Gründer der Schweizer Kaospiloten-Schule, die Menschen dazu ermutigt, neue Wege zu gehen. Er selbst hat viele Lebenspfade beschritten – als Coach, Unternehmer, Sozialaktivist und Helikopterpilot. In seiner Arbeit bringt er Menschen in Bewegung, schafft kreative Räume für Wandel und glaubt daran, dass Herz und Bauch die besseren Ratgeber sind als der Verstand. Für ihn entsteht Zukunft, wenn wir das Chaos nicht scheuen, sondern als Chance begreifen. __________________ Moderation: Christian Zeugin __________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interessen, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben.

Hilary shared insights from her birth class creation, emphasizing the importance of partners understanding and getting on the same page.

Hilary pointed out how roles naturally shift over time with children growing up, like when they start driving or start going to school. The discussion included how societal expectations shape gender roles and how they affect parenting dynamics. They emphasize the importance of communication and being on the same page to handle changes in family dynamics and reduce potential conflicts.

In the earlier stages of my podcast, I often found guests on LinkedIn. Then, I found podcasts through public relations firms and placement agencies. Now, I find them through other podcasters, former guests, friends, and colleagues in the personal development space. I am so excited about the evolution of the show and plan to continue to bring you powerful guests, like my guest, Alicia Zielinski Straub, today.Alicia and I met through former podcast guest, colleague, and somatic breathwork teacher, Nicole Smith Levay. Alicia and I have been on a breathwork journey together, and now we are taking a meditation and breathwork mentorship (certification together)! It has been wonderful to get to know Alicia, and I am happy to have her as a guest on the show.During my conversation with Alicia, we chatted about:Her experience many years ago with Hurricane Sandy, and how it cracked her wide open and started her healing journey.Alicia's vision for her life and how she suggests other women go about finding their own bigger vision for their life and career.The idea of not knowing and how we can be as calm as possible in the middle of that phase of transformation.How we soften into our hearts when we are on a healing or change journey.The advice Alicia would have for any woman who is looking to tap into herself, find stillness, and get prepared for transformation.
