Paolo Rivosecchi

My spiritual journey began in my teens: Buddhism and the Vedas, Transcendental Meditation; Gurdjieff’s teachings, Theosophy, Psychosynthesis, and Transpersonal Psychology. In my twenties I became a Sivananda Yoga teacher and received Brahminical initiation in the Bhakti-Vaishnava lineage. After a decade as a wandering monk across Europe, India, Canada, and the United States, I founded a Yoga & Meditation Center in Milan (1988).

In the U.S. I trained and certified in Ericksonian Hypnosis & NLP, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Past-Life Regression, and Rebirthing Systems. In Italy I completed Spiritual Healing studies at the University of Damanhur, later joining the faculty for its three-year programs in Hypnosis and Spiritual Healing.

After joining the Federation of Damanhur Communities (1995), I served in healing, education, management, and community development. For two decades I coordinated an innovative holistic middle-school program, uniting conventional academics with Know-Thy-Self lessons, world travel, Intuitive Pedagogy, and experiential learning. Until 2022 I was Director of International Relations, supporting Damanhur’s global network across several continents.

Stepping back from that role, I resumed private practice – working with individuals and groups, in person and online – on personal growth, spiritual awakening, and healthy communication in couples, families, organizations, and emerging communities.

Since the 1990s I’ve hosted and taught the “Yoga of Communication” known as the Harmonic Circle – a practical path for awakening through presence and relationship. Today this work has grown into the Harmonic Circle Academy (HCA): a living field where I continue to teach and help train new facilitators and coaches. Long-standing companions and fresh voices are joining – co-creating courses, leading circles, and carrying the work into new languages and places. I hold a simple conviction: conscious communication and evolutionary relationships are foundations for the spiritual R-Evolution ahead – best served by a community that learns, practices, and leads together.
