HELLO !
We are Irene and pier Davide
* Atma & Dharma *
Our trajectory goes from scientific research to the world of integrative medicine, holistic therapy and meditation. Starting from 2016, we conduct individual sessions and offer workshops and group courses focused on personal and spiritual growth in various countries. We can offer our activities, both online and in person, in English, Spanish or Italian.
We also love to use music as a tool for connection and emotional release. Hence we close all of our courses and workshops with an intimate and melodic acoustic concert full of inspiration and devotion. Finally, we are always happy to offer courses and music at collaborative events and festivals.
something more about us...
We both got our university degree and then a PhD in Molecular Biology. We dedicated many years to clinical cancer research. Parallel to our profession, 15 years ago, we discovered the great value of meditation and entered a progressive process of self-enquiry and personal development. Over the years we became more and more passionate about spirituality and the deep personal growth that spiritual practice entails.
We trained as "Spiritual Guides" within a Hindu tradition coming from India and very diffused all around the world. Later, we did it also within a western Buddhist tradition that draws its teachings from Hinduism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Kabbalah (Mahajrya).
Subsequently, we also trained in kinesiology, emotional integration, coaching, and Mind-Body Medicine in order to combine the meditative practices learned in the spiritual realm with other holistic practices supported by science and well adapted to the western cultural style.
Finally, we decided to leave academic scientific research to share the tools we acquired over these many years of study, experience, and deliberate practice.
Our intention is always to promote self-inquiry, self-awareness, and self-acceptance by sharing practices that promote personal growth, spiritual development, healing, and greater wellbeing.
Individual sessions
We offer individual online and face-to-face coaching sessions to all types of people. Our individual sessions are composed of phases of conversation, teaching, and guided practice. We always start with an introductory session in which we get to know each other and establish with you the topics to be addressed, the way to proceed, the objectives, and the frequency of the meetings we will have. We can communicate in Spanish, English or Italian.
Integrating all our experience with the different trainings we have received over more than a decade, we can effectively accompany all those who wish to:

The meditation and emotional release workshops are face-to-face or online meetings (sometimes both) that last between a minimum of 2h and a maximum of 4.
Throughout the workshop we teach different conscious breathing techniques ideal for releasing stress, relaxing anxiety and entering into states of greater presence in the body. We also guide short emotional integration practices to release unresolved emotions and follow with some transcendental meditation.

ELEISON
-THE POWER OF COMPASSION-
Listen to some demos:
Consciousness is the Flower
(Om Mani Padme Hum)
A New Discovery
(Gayatri Mantra)
We are Free/Somos Libres
(Liberation Sutra)
Our musical album Eleison contains a guided meditation and nine songs composed with mantras and power words originating from Greek, Hebrew, and Sanskrit with lyrics in Spanish, Italian, and English. The profound message of these ancient recitations has influenced the order and musical style of the songs on this album, which is designed for you to enjoy while accompanying you on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
So just listen and let yourself go while paying attention to all the energetic and emotional movements that are activated within you. Our recommendation is that you allow yourself to listen to each song with an attitude of meditation and self-observation to obtain a healing and revealing experience. If you can, take some time for yourself, lie down, connect with your breath, and listen to the entire album from start to finish without interruptions or distractions.

EXTENDED courses
-IN PERSON AND ONLINE-
The extended courses cover the same content as the intensive ones. The difference is that in this case, classes are spread over a much longer period. They have a variable duration of one to five months and depending on the selected content, they can extend up to a year. Each class is two to three hours long and the frequency can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Between classes, there will be regular meetings so that participants, if they wish, can practice together with the rest of the group. This helps everyone practice with more discipline and regularity.
Usually, in the extended courses, after every two or three classes, before the next class, there is a space opened for each participant to ask questions related to the previous part of the course and share with the rest of the group their experience during the practice of the weeks that have already passed.
Compared to those in an intensive course, participants in an extended course have the advantage of being able to practice the technique studied for much longer. This allows them to address doubts, tackle difficulties, and experience the benefits of practice throughout the course.
Emotional Integration (EI)
-therapeutic meditation-
What is it about ?
Emotional Integration (EI) is a practice of self-awareness, self-healing, and self-discovery that promotes personal and spiritual development for the practitioner. The goal of EI is not to justify our emotional automatisms, but to learn from them. We want to be able to persist in a deep state of self-awareness while being aware of all the feelings that our unconscious emotional reactions produce within us. This gradually allows us to accept our emotional discomfort while remaining in a state of self-observation as peaceful and unidentifiable as possible.
What will we learn ?
Learning this therapeutic meditation technique allows you to learn to manage your emotions, become aware of their origin, and develop yourself autonomously and authentically. Over time, regular Emotional Integration helps dissolve unconscious emotional resistances, thus developing the ability to embrace all the flavors and colors of Life from a state of appreciation and objectivity. All experiences have affected us to a greater or lesser extent. The absence of emotional education in our society has often meant that the emotions experienced have not been properly managed by each of the individuals involved in these events. In this intensive workshop, you will have the opportunity to experience for yourself the powerful effects of EI, learn to perceive your emotions consciously, promoting deep and progressive emotional hygiene. You will return home with a new and valuable tool that everyone can use to live and express themselves more authentically.

21 masks of the ego
-deep self ENQUIRY-
What is it about ?
It consists of a thorough study of the functioning of our own ego, that is, all our automatic and unconscious reactions and behaviors, with the intention of recognizing them and taking responsibility for them. A comprehensive explanation will be offered of what we call the twenty-one masks of the ego, twenty-one facets that make up the mechanisms with which each person reacts automatically to
What will we learn ?
A self-awareness and personal growth tool that you can apply autonomously whenever you want. You will learn what the ego is and how it works in general and yours in particular. You will be able to practice emotional integration by recognizing many more layers of the reactions that arise within you, either totally or partially unconsciously, in response to all kinds of situations and information. The goal is to be able to understand these internal mechanisms, transcending step by step those that do not benefit us. Regular practice of this technique will allow you to better understand the human being and its dynamics, leading you to states of greater humility, clarity, and objectivity.

Introduction to Kabbalah and the Language of the Soul
-Hebrew alphabet-
What is it about ?
The Hebrew alphabet is one of the oldest known today. Its study, use, and practice represent the foundation for approaching Kabbalah, a set of esoteric teachings that promote our spiritual evolution by addressing ontological questions such as the nature of the universe, life, and the human being. The alef-bet consists of 22 letters, each of which is associated with an archetype and an image that we will need to contemplate carefully to delve into each of these multiple archetypal aspects of reality. Another way to practice each letter will be through its simple vocalization and recitation, during which we will focus all our attention on the experience that the production of this sound and its vibration have on our inner selves, immersing ourselves in it and temporarily setting aside all meanings, concepts, and interpretations. This is the practice that brings us closer to the discovery of what is sometimes poetically referred to as the 'language of the soul,' meaning a dimension that is fully and directly experiential, unfiltered or filtered as minimally as possible by our rational interpretation and analytical mind. Inspiring teachings will be alternated with various practices of vocalization, contemplation, visualization, and meditation, and when the duration of the course allows, writing practices.
What will we learn ?
This course will provide you with an introduction to the Kabbalah and the practices of the 'language of the soul' through the 22 letters of the ancient Hebrew alphabet. Additionally, the contents of this course add depth and complexity to the two previous courses on emotional integration and the 21 ego masks. In this approach, each letter, from 2 (beth) to 22 (tav), corresponds to the 21 ego masks and provides you with a new understanding of their origin. Each letter also indicates qualities (virtues) to cultivate in order to conquer each mask a little more each day, develop your creative power, and transform your life on a personal and spiritual level.

THE PILLAR OF VIRTUE
-R'shiNaya-
What is it about ?
R’SHINAYA is a Sanskrit word that translates as the Holy (R’shi) Path (naya). In this course, through inspiring talks, meditations, and contemplations, we delve into the discovery of what Hinduism considers five of the basic virtues that make up the “pillar of r’shinaya”: peace (shanti), forgiveness (anuja), compassion (karuna), gratitude (krtaña), and presence (manasvin). We will also study their relationship with the wisdom inspired by the five elements and the 4 noble truths, a central principle in Buddhist philosophy. The practice of R’shinaya is based on a form of transcendental meditation accompanied by the repetition of a siddhi (recitation of one or two words in an archaic language), which in itself represents a very beneficial tool. In addition, combined with the knowledge imparted in the previous three courses, R’shinaya can also be applied to evaluate the effects of our emotional integration practice as it allows us to recognize how our way of reacting to people, situations, and experiences we focus on in our practice changes.
What will we learn ?
Virtues are internal attitudes that help us experience life from a different perspective, with greater clarity, understanding, and responsibility in your words, actions, thoughts, and life choices. Through this course, you will learn various siddhis and how to practice them through transcendental meditation, which will help you cultivate these states of being and eventually lead you to live a more fulfilling and free life. So you can choose how to live your life beyond conformism and clichés, adjusting course as you learn from each new situation, and embracing both the renunciations and gifts that your decisions entail.

THE WISDOM OF the 5 elements
-Ancient Mantras And SIDDHIS-
What is it about ?
In this course, we will introduce a perspective inspired by the Hindu tradition that will allow us to connect with the wisdom related to the five elemental principles of creation: earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. It is a relatively simple practice ideal for those who decide to embark on a path of meditation, personal development, and spiritual growth as well as for those who already have experience. We will study the five elements and their energetic qualities from a symbolic perspective that will help us recognize their potential role in creation, that is, the mysterious yet undeniable process of manifestation and evolution that leads from nothing to the appearance of everything that exists. We will also explore the role of these energies in our own lives and in our "existential experience" to recognize when we resist them and when we are able to flow harmoniously with them. We will alternate teaching phases with long practices of "japa mala" during which we will repeat together the 5 mantras (short prayers) using a mala (Hindu necklace of 108 beads) and the five siddhis (recitations of one or two words) of each element.
What will we learn ?
Meditating on the 5 elements helps us connect with our inner self, develop understanding and the ability to embrace life and all its movements both within us and around us. It brings the ability to sustain, understand, and accept the changes we go through, to feel and give space to the emotions that arise in each experience, and to clearly and simply understand the meaning of 'connecting with our soul'. You will learn several mantras and how to meditate with them using a mala, as well as several siddhis and how to practice them through transcendental meditation.

BOOST YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE TAKE A NEW STEP IN YOUR EVOLUTION
-FUNDAMENTALS OF Kuji-in-
What is it about ?
This is a beginner's course in a very ancient, complete, and effective practice of personal and spiritual growth, which is now known and popularized as Kuji-in (from Japanese: Ku = 9, Ji = sound/syllable, In = seal/key) and mostly associated with the world of martial arts. The technique requires us to practice a mudra (a specific way of interlocking hands and fingers), while reciting a mantra (short prayer), focusing on a chakra (body region), and visualizing a mandala (specific shape and/or color). These 4 components define each seal, and during the course, we will study and practice 9 different seals.
Its popularity in the martial arts field is due to the fact that regular practice of this technique promotes the nervous, endocrine, and energetic function of our body resulting in a feeling of increased focus and strength.
In reality, the goal of practicing Kuji-in is not to acquire strength, control, or superpowers like in Manga, but rather to develop new and better attitudes towards life in general and towards any type of difficulty we may encounter. New attitudes inspired by the deep internal work that this practice allows us to do when contemplating seriously and deeply the philosophical and spiritual principles it aims at.
What will we learn ?
With this course, you will take your meditative practice to another level of depth. You will learn a very complete and powerful technique that will teach you to sustain states of semi-transcendence from which to meditate while your attention is simultaneously directed towards different aspects. You will learn nine seals that will strengthen your ability to be aware of yourself and your internal dynamics, guiding you towards contemplations of the highest spiritual principles, perhaps even being able to experience a glimpse of non-duality.
