Gabriele Cotronei

Role: Retreat Facilitator.

For over a decade, Gabriele has studied the human mind, beginning with its formation in utero and early infancy, in relation with the primary caregivers. This entailed training in non-verbal communication approaches, psychoanalytic therapy and infant observation, Jungian sand play therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine.

He has worked in various public mental health settings, where he co-created safe containers with patients and clients to support a non-judgmental exploration of themselves and find healing in mind, body, and spirit.

This curiosity for the human experience led him to delve into spirituality, Eastern philosophies, and yoga. Psychedelics were a natural progression in his personal healing journey, allowing him to experience the depths of joy and the transformative power of the relationship with entheogens. Through this relationship he has dived deeper into somatic approaches. He passionately co-develops safe spaces centered around the imagination, creativity, and interconnectivity. Through his work he is able to grow and align with his vision, by engaging in deep and meaningful work that contributes to a culture of healing.
