My son is my spiritual master
“HASwith him, I realized that I was not in harmony because I was too extremist. I dreamed big and I wanted to embody everything. Over time, I realized that I had a lot to pass on to him. Today, mour son is 4 and a half years old. At each key age, I will wonder what I pass on to himwhat is good for him…”, explained the 35-year-old father, who notably mentions the subject in his first book.

But Santi pushes me and teaches me since birth to discover and assume who I am. As if that was my role, to show him who I really am, to stop hiding, to take my place in this world and thus invite him to do the same. Without telling him, just embody and be! My son is my spiritual master!“, he wrote, while posting adorable photos and videos of his little boy, thus revealing his face.
