Description

Sculpting ways of thinking, for Nathalie Decoster, is to give food for thought on tolerance and respect for others, sources of diversity and therefore of wealth. It is also an opportunity to analyze mental constructions off the beaten track, because they are based on the notion of freedom. Finally, it is to look at the fragility, the versatile nature of our emotions, which reign as masters over our lives.
