INSPIRATION IN THE ABSENCE OF BREATH | JULIE GAUTIER | TEDxLausanneWomen

Discover emotion, intuition and femininity as expressed from an underwater state of apnea. A connection to oneself and nature made all the more powerful by the cessation of breath. Freediving champion and underwater filmmaker and choreographer, Julie redefines the rules of the ocean and uses her skills and sensitivity to capture the magic of the world below the surface. Her close relationship with water took root during her childhood and continues to be nurtured through apnea (free) diving, for which she is currently the French record holder in constant weight (-68m!). A child of dance and of sea, She connects these two worlds to her third world: image. Together with her partner, famous freediver Guillaume Néry, she has directed several short films under the label Les Films Engloutis that have earned her recognition and success as a filmmaker. Behind the camera, as she does in front of it, Julie uses instinct, sincerity and femininity as the basis of her work, offering viewers human and visual experience and exploring the invincible beauty and force of women. Her love for the ocean has led her to collaborate with foundations as an advocate for ocean conservation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

"Unfortunately, we live in a society where we are afraid of void. We want to fill up that void, always, with words, with knowledge, with objects, with work, with projects. But we forget that void is also space. And we need that space. We need that space to think about what's essential in life. We need that space for magic. We need that space for dreams." "Breathe! Let yourself breathe. Slow down, keep space. Slow down for earth. Slow down for life. Slow down for humanity."

[@mirayadingabay5520]

“What must I do to tame you?” asked the little prince. “You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me like that in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstanding. But you will sit closer to me every day.” ~ Le Petit Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

[@egal007]

Julie you touched me ... really

[@exceptionaltalentspc4954]

I don't like to talk either. Now I feel I'm not alone anymore. I need and I love silence. But people around me don't understand that and they see me as weird, different. It's hard not being able to fit in this world, like I don't belong here.

[@janabarros6591]

You are especial.

[@egal007]

you do belong here, I´m absolutley sure... because... you are not alone, we are many but nearly invisble for the most... but important for the big "WE"... we do find find ways and prepare solutions for obstacales other are not anticipating but we already know... I can feel you and I can nearly see you (:)

[@gracie99999]

hopefully you’ll see the others side of it
