Gauthier Bribosia
Author & Creator of the Tikkoun Tarot de Marseille
The Quest
Tikkoun — from the Hebrew תיקון, "repair" — carries within it the essence of reconciliation. To reunite our fragmented parts: those we have silenced, rejected or forgotten, in order to abandon the dictates and paradigms that our environment or society has imposed upon us. There is nothing to divide that is not simply indivisible, nothing to sacrifice that is not already sacred, nothing to correct that is not naturally imperfect.
How do we develop a mind free enough to question our certainties — in all circumstances — without being absorbed by them?
Tikkoun is not a predictive tool. It is a map of the self. A symbolic language for recognising the energies that inhabit us, naming what seeks to transform itself, moving forward with greater consciousness, clarity and discernment.
The path it offers is one of autonomy — not as isolation, but as the first condition of authentic love: allowing oneself to love oneself intimately, and without complacency, in order to love truly and transcend the wounds of attachment. To embrace our duality without reducing it. To recognise that our potential for transformation is unlimited, while the rigidity of our beliefs is, by nature, impermanent. To envision our humanity from a reconciled perspective.
Background
Trained in strategy and management at ULB – Solvay, then in graphic arts and animation at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, Gauthier Bribosia has woven a transversal practice for thirty years at the crossroads of creation, digital and storytelling.
Designer, copywriter, illustrator, web developer — his deep immersion in the digital ecosystem gave him the tools to build Tikkoun in an integrated way: symbolic thinking and technical rigour, content and form, the card and the platform.
A holistic aromatherapist since 2014 and founder of aromaKids (psycho-sensory aromatherapy for the emotional balance of young children), creator of the KooraChoo universe for children, he constantly explores the territories where art, psychology and personal development meet.
