L’exercice permet de mieux comprendre le présent et de se projeter dans de nouveaux récits pourbâtir dès maintenant un avenir désirable. Murmurations, pourquoi ? Pour les Anglais, le mot désigne un nuage d’oiseaux. Un vol d’étourneaux par exemple. Par leur comportement collectif, ils se coordonnent dans des mouvements complexes sans qu'il y ait de chef d'orchestre. La philosophe française Isabelle Stengers évoque la “murmuration collective” dans la société deceux qui sont impatients de voir un autre monde émerger. Nous avons aussi choisi ce mot pour l’image et la beauté. Pour que les murmures de la terre finissent par faire force. Hébergé par Ausha. Visite
