We are delighted to invite you to the English-language launch of The Force of the Living by Geneva-based author Marie-Antoinette Micheli. More than a book, The Force of the Living is a call to reconnect—with life, with the living world, and with our own capacity for transformation. Through an intimate journey of collapse and regeneration, the author offers a powerful reflection on resilience, meaning, and our place within the web of life. Join us for an evening of reading and conversation featuring a short reading by the author, followed by a Q&A moderated by GWG Executive Secretary Andra Otilia Nicolescu, and an apéro. To live is not to endure, but to regenerate, to reconnect, and to rise with the living!

Her memoir The Force of the Living is an intimate autobiographical account in which she reveals the obstacles we face and suggests ways of overcoming them.
