The world, as we know it, is ever changing. Our modern society constantly surrounds us with an environment that is constantly putting us in a “flight or fight” mode. Fortunately people are waking up to this understanding that the quality of their life is extremely important and that they want change. Never before have so many people begun to empower themselves by seeking their own methods that can help them return to a healthy mind and body.
A lover of nature and an undeniable enthusiast for the many unpredictable adventures that life brings.
Michele began his studies in forestry sciences at University Padova and became a professional Ornithologist, carefully observing the natural environment. He focused most of his early professional career on environmental and animal conservation while exploring natural photography.
Watching nature also gave him the opportunity to observe and reflect on his own inner person and his surroundings and it is here where he began a path of personal discovery through conceptual philosophies and practice.
Michele began meditation at 7 years old and has dedicated over 15 years to the practice of Vipassana Meditation & Pranayama Yoga and with his formal training teaches throughout Italy in centers such as the Buddhist Center ILTK of Pomaia.
In 2012 he qualified as an official Mindfulness teacher obtaining MBSR Certification for stress reduction and combined this closely with the philosophy of Vipassana Meditation.
Pushing his curiosities even further, he developed the application of this introspective awareness to the world of adventure and natural sports and began to merge together this philosophy. Since 2006 Michele combined these elements with his formal instruction in Apnea and aquatic freediving and works with icons in the Italian Sports world such as Riccardo Piatti e Gianluca Genoni.
Diving into the depths of the ocean synthesized all of his sensibilities and studies to date. This physical appreciation of nature with interconnection philosophy allowed him to extend beyond himself and his limits, finding balance, peace and enthusiasm of which he seeks to share.
