His goal being to contribute ideation and models of development to foster the building of asymetric economies based on auto-production and the empowerment of individuals.

More than simple self-sufficiency and far from the fashion of aesthetic images, "spiritual tourism", or even less so to become an object of "sensationalist" media, The Autonomous Project is the continuation of humble quest – that of the truth in all its forms. It is a reduction of wanting to the essential, opening a place for the autonomy of the individual. Saying NO to a canabalistic system which has funneled us into the corners of ignorance and superficial appearances. Our values remain the only niche of freedom. Leaving all behind, to discover what lies ahead, regress to progess in order to reach towards fullness of understanding, to create and to give.
