Return to Life – Since 2009
I am Alexandre Poignard, explorer of body and soul, a nomad in search of freedom and truth. Through water, breath, drum, dance, meditation, and rituals, I guide those who feel the call for change and release. My spaces are playgrounds of transformation, where one can let go of tension, reconnect with their essence, and dive into the depth of being alive. I weave a bridge between ancestral traditions and the modern world, between grounding and lightness, between the sacred and joy, blending clarity, trust, energy, communion, and joy. From the intimacy of a ritual to the vast silence of the desert, my work is dedicated to embodiment, presence, and transformation, and I welcome collaborations, festivals, retreats, and co-creations to offer authentic and transformative experiences.

Janzu Facilator
I swim since i’m 7. And now I create a safe and deeply connected space where each person can embark on their own journey and transformation. Being fully present, while knowing how to step aside so the water can guide the experience. I work with the different currents and movements of water, and I enjoy integrating emotional playlists to enrich my sessions. I travel the world to explore the many ways humans can connect with water. Thanks to Ojanzu, Atma Janzu, Colectivo Agua, Harmonic flows, etc…
Creator of the Shamanic Travel Oracle
I created a unique oracle, designed to receive your own personal transmissions. Draw a card at random, put on your headphones, and let yourself be guided by the sound of the drum and my rare, precise words. The oracle also comes with a book containing transmissions, teachings, and rituals. Over 400 copies have already found their way to their users.
Amahame – Group Dream Travel
I guide Experience shamanic drum journeys, where everyone is free to play, sing, dance, meditate, or travel in their own way. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, each participant is invited to explore at their own pace. I have led over a hundred sessions with various groups from 4 to 40, totaling more than 400 unique journeys. Each journey is discovered in real time by myself and guided through my deep and diverse experiences, drawn from my past journeys.

Somaregulation : Fear and Memories
Did you know that traumatic memories continue to influence your body and reactions in situations that resemble them? Did you know that the emotional charge attached to them can grow stronger each day? With this method, I offer to help release the burden of old memories that affect your daily life. Together, we clear fears, anxieties, and blockages, allowing you to regain lightness and clarity. I also train practitioners in this method, enabling them to guide others using this approach.
Sweet Lodge / Temazcal
In 2019, I received authorization from Caty Marie to lead sweat lodges, followed by transmission from Gilles de la Hutte, which allowed me to guide them over several years. I offer prayer lodges, as well as Alsatian lodges also inspired by Native American culture. In these spaces—powerful moments of communion in heat and darkness—we experience the primitive prayer transmitted by Gilles. We sing, speak, and sweat together. I have led lodges with groups ranging from 2 to 10 participants, providing a safe and profound setting for purification and reconnection.
Osho Meditation Facilitator
Osho meditations are active and intense practices, specially designed for Westerners. Their purpose is to quiet the mind by engaging the body. I have been trained in 16 of these meditations, and I love offering at least one during my retreats. Whirling dervish, Kundalini, Chakras, voice, movement… each session is a unique journey into release and living energy.
Yin Yoga Facilitator
I offer a Yin Yoga practice where each posture is held for the length of a carefully chosen piece of music. Beyond working on the fascia, these sessions invite you to travel through a poetic in-between. Stretching without effort, carried by the alternation of music and silence. Here, the focus is not on results but on gently reconnecting with well-being.
Cuban Salsa Instructor
For more than 16 years, I have been teaching Cuban salsa to student and teacher, sharing this passion with thousands of people. Salsa has become part of my life, embodied in both my movements and my being. Through dance, I guide the exploration of the masculine and feminine relationship, always in joy and flow. We dance solo, in pairs, and in the vibrant energy of the rueda de casino. Because in the end, your dance tells your story.
Concious Movement Facilitator
We can receive transmissions through our body, without always relying on the mind. In these workshops, you move, experience trust, teamwork, energy management, and joy, while taking care of yourself and receiving. Here, you will discover far more on your own than through the guidance of a teacher.
Spiritual Retreat
Stepping out of your daily routine, we work more deeply each day on a personal theme. Everything experienced in nature, indoors, within the group, or individually is connected to your intention. In connection with nature, the elements, spirituality, and all that you believe in, we create a timeless moment, serving your experience, the group, and what is right in the present moment.
Independent Web & Social Media Creator
Since 2009, I have been creating and developing my own websites. I have designed three so far, which I have regularly updated and transformed over time. My goal is to remain well referenced while keeping my websites simple, clear, and efficient.

I also personally manage my social media accounts (Instagram and Facebook) to share my projects and universe:

Retreat in the Sahara
Each new year since 2014. Going into the desert means confronting your emptiness, its vastness, its silence, its purity… and your fears, as well as theirs. It is an extraordinary adventure, full of humanity, beauty, simplicity, and harshness. Walking eight days through the desert is a journey deep within yourself. Accompanied by Bedouins, we travel on camelback as in ancient times, remembering what truly matters.
