Coach | Peacemaker | Facilitator
Colin Perreault is a community organizer, educator, environmentalist, and founder of Culture d’Empathie—an initiative devoted to building a nonviolent, inclusive, and compassionate society. With a background in history and geography education, Colin integrates deep knowledge of social and ecological systems with a passion for human connection and nature.
He works across sectors—as a trainer, speaker, coach, and consultant—bringing tools of nonviolent communication, empathy, and collective care to schools, families, nonprofits, and public institutions. He is actively involved in grassroots movements such as La Grande Marche pour la Protection des forêts, advocating for biodiversity and the sacredness of Earth.
Colin supports youth, newcomers, and people with disabilities through his work in community health and prevention, particularly around social inclusion and sexual exploitation. Whether he’s facilitating dialogue circles or guiding outdoor learning experiences, his mission is clear: to help birth a new culture—rooted in empathy, nonviolence, and respect for all life forms.
Colin is also a father, spouse, and gardener who embodies what he teaches. His work inspires communities to lead with curiosity, courage, and heart as we navigate the collective journey toward justice, connection, and planetary healing.
