Rencontres de Provence 2026. The group as an essential container today for thinking, feeling, and transforming together.

On April 24 and 25, the Rencontres de Provence took place in Aix-en-Provence around the theme “Artistic Creation and the Process of Individuation.”

Over the course of these two days, coaches, psychologists, artists, and those interested in analytical psychology gathered to explore, in a grounded and experiential way, the links between the creative act and inner transformation. The exchanges were rich, often unexpected, and sustained by a rare quality of presence.

I led a workshop titled “Psyche and Artificial Images,” focused on the encounter between images emerging from inner life and those produced by artificial intelligence, approached from a Jungian perspective. The work brought into tension two regimes of images. On one side, those that emerge slowly, through the body, gesture, and attention. On the other, those generated instantly, already formed, already readable. This confrontation opened a fertile space for reflection on what an image does to the subject, and what it does not do.

I would like to warmly thank Christine Tuillat Lenoir for her invitation, and for her remarkable ability to design a program that was both demanding and alive, bringing together such a wide range of talent and sensibilities within a shared momentum.

For those who would like to learn more, the full program remains available on the Rencontres de Provence website.
