At 15, a profound spiritual awakening opened my eyes to realms beyond the physical and ignited a lifelong passion for spirituality and meditation (10000+ hours). My mission became to refine my inner wisdom and serve the greater harmony. Raised Catholic, I worked for months as a missionary in one of the poorest areas of Brazil, then I spent two transformative years living as a Franciscan monk. Their values of universal brotherhood, reverence for nature, and poverty deeply moved me. However, I eventually outgrew the conservative, dogmatic constraints of Catholicism. Eager to expand my horizons, I dove into Eastern wisdom traditions and alternative healing, discovering the power of energy work, such as Reiki and pranotherapy. Unable to find fertile ground in my small hometown, hence seeking a more spiritually open community, I discovered it in Frome where I have spent five wonderful years. When confronted by a big change in my personal life I embarked on a 100 day pilgrimage to India, where I was trained in yoga nidra, and subsequently travelled 3 years across Europe, from Sweden through to Portugal, living ascetically and following inner guidance. My daily prayer was to be shown where I was most needed. Through this, my body learned what my mind already knew: the universe nurtures those who serve it. After retreating in contemplation for some time in spiritual communities in Italy and Bosnia to integrate this powerful experience, I was finally guided back to Frome. My journey has been one of constant unfolding and deepening attunement with the boundless within. Through my practise I now aim to support others in awakening to their own inner light.

When we choose experience over beliefs, we open to Truth. It takes humility to walk this path, and courage to quiet the ego. Few dare, but those who do find real vision.

ON CERTAINTY AND OPENNESS TO CHANGE

šŸ’­ How does it feel to be wrong?

Most of us think being wrong is something that happens to other people. But if you look back, there were beliefs you held with certainty that you later realized were false. If that happened before, isn’t it likely happening now?

The question isn’t if we are wrong about something, but where. The real strength is in being open to finding out.

On Weird

Being the black sheep isn’t just rebellion—it’s liberation.
It’s like mental pilates, stretching the stiff edges of the mind’s cage.
Let's be different.
Whoever you are, be you.
No one else can, and your gift is yours alone to give.

Spirituality dies the moment it’s boxed into rules, techniques, or labels.
The deep stuff just cannot be contained.
Not even by a stiff upper lip.

Here are some playful, unconventional practices for the modern spiritual adventurer:

šŸŒŖļø Chaos Meditation: Intentionally invite mental interruptions and watch your focus dance

šŸ§˜ā€ā™‚ļø Shape-Shifting Meditation: Pray and meditate in the most delightfully absurd positions imaginable

šŸ¤øā€ā™€ļø Zen Pratfalls: Catch yourself being too serious? Fall over dramatically or find a way to make a fool of yourself

šŸ”® Synchronicity Scavenger Hunts: find the most ridiculous and far-fetched connections between events

šŸ„ž Serious Silliness Mantras: Create absurd mantras like "I am a magical pancake of infinite consciousness"

ā€œThe eyes are the window to your soul.ā€ — William Shakespeare
Shakespeare was indeed onto something.
Now I know staring can get awkward real quick and I don't wanna freak anybody out.
But what if we turn it up a notch? I'm talking eye gazing. Staring with intention!
It's time to get vulnerable, let down those walls. Look into someone's eyes until you start to see their soul!
You'll be surprised what comes bubbling up. All those hidden emotions just waiting to pop out.
So find a willing partner and get ready to step out of your comfy zone. Discover their inner world - and maybe your own too!
It's simple and powerful magic. An ancient ritual to meet the soul. And heck, it sure beats small talk, am I right?

Alright, enough blabbering now. Do you have it in you?

Hello, I’m Francesco.

I work with deep thinkers and curious souls—those who find themselves questioning old patterns, sitting with uncertainty, or searching for something more aligned and true. My role isn’t to hand out answers, but to walk beside you as you uncover your own in ways that feel grounded, intuitive, and expansive.

If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or simply drawn to explore what’s beneath the surface, I offer one-on-one conversations designed to help you make sense of your inner world, reconnect with the parts of you that have been left behind, and find your own path forward—one that feels both meaningful and real.

WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND IN OUR TIME TOGETHER:

Conversations that last around 90 minutes

A space to untangle confusion, reframe stuck beliefs, and gently surface deeper truths

Support that meets you where you are—whether you’re navigating anxiety, seeking clarity, or sensing a shift that wants to happen

Outcomes that are less about fixing and more about discovering: a renewed perspective, more inner coherence, and a clearer sense of next steps

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER:

Ā£100 - Single Session: One deep dive to help shift your lens and leave you with grounded practices drawn from spiritual traditions and psychological insight

Ā£250 Three-Session Journey: A deeper dive through Awareness → Integration → Embodiment processes for those drawn to sustained transformation

THE ARC OF TRANSFORMATION:

1. Awareness – See the Unseen
✨ What’s shaping my life beneath the surface?

Bring contradictions and hidden patterns into light

Meet discomfort with curiosity

Let insight begin to reframe the way you see yourself

2. Integration – Embrace the Truth
✨ Now that I see it, how do I live with it?

Stay with truth instead of pushing it away

Explore who you are beyond inherited beliefs

Strengthen the voice of your own inner guidance

3. Embodiment – Live with Confidence
✨ How do I begin to act from this new place?

Let insight reshape behavior

Replace what no longer fits with aligned ways of being

Move through uncertainty with self-trust and clarity

THIS MIGHT RESONATE IF:

You’re navigating big questions and old frameworks no longer feel like home

You’re craving clarity, not just for decisions—but for how to be

You’re drawn to depth, nuance, and a way of living that feels more fully yours

If something in this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.

ABOUT ME
I grew up in the majestic Dolomites of Italy. At 15, a profound spiritual awakening ignited my passion for meditation and self-inquiry (tens of thousands of hours).

My journey has been a search for truth. I’ve been a Catholic missionary in Brazil, a Franciscan monk for two years, a student of Eastern wisdom, and an energy worker. I’ve lived in Frome for five years, drawn by its openness and depth.

A personal turning point led me on a 100-day pilgrimage to India, where I trained in Yoga Nidra, followed by three years traveling Europe—living ascetically (no money) trusting life’s flow. My prayer was simple: "Show me where I’m needed." The universe answered.

After deep contemplation in Italy and Bosnia, I returned to Frome, ready to share what I’ve learned.

My expertise comes from lived experience and deep personal reflection rather than traditional credentials. I stand on the shoulders of giants like Lao Tsu, and Carl Jung, yet I offer insights that are uniquely my own.
I’m committed to supporting you with sincerity, care, and honesty.

If you’re ready for a shift, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

Warmly,

Francesco
