Michele Metelli

Since childhood, Michele's curiosity about emotions, thoughts, and the great existential questions has driven him to a profound exploration of his own inner world and that of others. This quest has transformed into a lifelong passion: helping people understand psychological pain and discover ways to overcome it.

A clinical psychologist with a specialization in medical anthropology, Michele earned a bachelor's degree in Psychological Sciences and Techniques from the University of Milan-Bicocca and a master's degree in Clinical Psychology with honors from the Carlo Bo University of Urbino.

He subsequently delved into issues related to trauma, transpersonal psychology, and holotropic breathwork, completing the Grof Transpersonal Training and the Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy program at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).

He has had the privilege of working in clinical and multicultural settings, assisting people from over 100 nationalities, developing a unique perspective that integrates scientific and traditional approaches to mental health and healing.

Founder of Holotropic Italy and a Grof Transpersonal Training Certified Facilitator, Michele also organizes the GTT training in Italy.

He completed training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and Research at CIIS and in MDMA-Assisted Therapy at MAPS PBC, bringing an integrative and innovative approach to transpersonal work.

Michele is also passionate about the integration of science and spirituality, exploring how these dimensions can support personal and collective growth. Through his commitment, he creates safe spaces where individuals can explore their experiences, reconnect with their potential, and promote well-being, contributing to the construction of a community dedicated to inner transformation.
