Living systems as a model for the future

Talks and immersive experiences that help your teams see the bigger picture, think differently and build together.

The challenge

The challenges are intertwined. The answers remain in silos.

Crises that compound.

Climate, energy, resources, technology, regulation: these challenges reinforce one another. Tackling them separately is no longer enough.

Fragmented disciplines.

Science, economics, ecology, health, management: our expertise keeps growing, but the fields rarely talk to each other. Complex problems sit precisely at their interfaces.

of employees surveyed describe their work as chaotic and fragmented.Source: Microsoft, Work Trend Index 2025.

Teams that disengage.

Stress, loss of meaning, scattered attention: without the big picture, it becomes hard to understand one’s contribution and to plan ahead together.

Our approach

What if living systems could help us ask better questions?

For nearly four billion years, life has worked with uncertainty, constraints, flows of matter and energy, interdependence and change.

We don’t observe it to copy it, but to learn how to live better with complexity. Racine & Voyage turns these observations into experiences that shift perspectives, open dialogue and get teams moving again.

The talks

Four challenges. Four shifts in perspective.

Each talk lasts 60 to 90 minutes, is tailored to your audience and sector, and can be extended with a hands-on experience.

ORGANISE → REGENERATE → SELF-REGULATE → DARE

ORGANISE01

OIKOS

What if we looked at a company as an ecosystem?

From the Greek oikos, the home: the root of “eco”, in ecology as in economy. Relationships, interdependence, flows and feedback loops: a transdisciplinary lens to reconnect what our organisations tend to separate.

Your teams leave with
A shared lens to see relationships before trying to change the system.
Extension
Collective intelligence: mapping the issues, vision board, a concentration exercise through geometry.

Systems thinking & transdisciplinarity

REGENERATE02

The Fungal Kingdom

From mycelial networks to the socio-economic models of tomorrow.

Symbiosis, mycelial networks, decomposition, circularity: principles observed in the fungal world that open new hypotheses for more distributed, regenerative models. An introduction to mycotechnologies: mycoremediation, biomaterials, research into the breakdown of certain polymers.

Your teams leave with
New principles to question their models of resources, cooperation and value creation.
Extension
Mycology workshop: observing mycelium, starting a culture, a kit to take home.

Biomimicry & innovation

SELF-REGULATE03

The Equation of Life

Breathe, adapt, decide: physiology in the face of uncertainty.

Breathing, the autonomic nervous system, attention, stress and regulation: an accessible exploration of the mechanisms that shape our ability to regain clarity before acting.

Your teams leave with
Simple markers to regain clarity and room to act.
Extension
Introduction to qi gong, moving meditation, breathing. Understand through science, experience through movement.

Emotional intelligence & regulation

DARE04

An engineer off the beaten track

From fluid turbulence to the turbulence of life.

China, Malaysia, Mongolia, Andalusia, the Andes. From modelling turbulence to fieldwork: a story of research, travel and learning that led to Racine & Voyage and the future Living Labs.

Your teams leave with
A story to tame uncertainty, question one’s certainties and dare to build when there is no set path.
Extension
The table of paths: Q&A, life stories, intercultural and intergenerational exchange.

Life path & transformation

The speaker

Jade Marie Junqua

Engineer · Researcher · Speaker · Founder of Racine & Voyage

An engineering graduate of ENSEIRB-MATMECA in mathematical and mechanical modelling, with a master’s degree in applied mathematics, Jade Marie Junqua trained in doctoral research in fluid mechanics in China, working on 3D modelling of turbulence.

Her path then spread across three continents, combining teaching, knowledge sharing and fieldwork: science and languages in France, China, Mongolia and Spain; agriculture, ecology, mycology and body practices alongside local communities. Today she brings together mathematics, systems thinking, biomimicry and life sciences to open new ways of approaching complexity.
