Summary/Abstract: In the year 2000, when Jesper Hoffmeyer made the pivotal move to start giving structure to the - until then dispersed - biosemiotics community, by gathering a highly transdisciplinary group of researchers in the first conference of its kind, I had the privilege and the fortune to be at the beginning of my PhD project under his supervision. I witnessed the care and humbleness with which he organized the first Gathering and the mesmerizing atmosphere that emerged in this first meeting. In the years to come, and well beyond my PhD project, I became an active participant and collaborator of the Biosemiotic project, always in close contact with the community that Jesper contributed so much to foster.
