LIFE COACHING – ACTOR TRAINING
Journey with Dante – Walk Toward Your True Self
Life Coaching
Imagine facing, as in the Inferno, obstacles, trials, and sorrows—first illuminated by awareness, then embraced with compassion and courage. Like in Purgatory, you will discover the power of your will to transform shadow into light, freeing your purest parts. Finally, as in Paradise, you will draw near to your highest desire, seeing how every obstacle can become a gateway to wonder.
The path is woven to guide you through a process of deep listening and authentic revelation. You will encounter those who recognize and nurture your unique virtues, helping you unfold your personal and creative journey, strengthening your mind to face the challenges of earthly, spiritual, artistic, and professional life with dignity and grace.
Through the words of Dante and philosophers ancient and modern—such as Lao Tzu*, Socrates*, Epictetus*, and Marcus Aurelius*—you will be led toward an experience that transcends mere intellect, awakening your deepest essence. This is a journey where philosophy blends with life practice, poetry, and creativity, where every step brings you closer to who you truly wish to become
Reflect: How can you free yourself from what does not belong to you and become the master of your destiny?
What mental chains cloud your vision, keeping you from seeing with boldness and clarity?
Can you imagine the Empyrean of your existence, where you follow your most steadfast guiding star?
Are you ready to cross stormy abysses to once again behold the stars?
On this pilgrimage, your fears and bindings will be met with clarity and detachment, just as Dante confronts his torments: “Let us not speak of them, but look and move on.” Each pause will be an invitation to gaze within and know yourself, to embrace your limits, rediscover your deepest values, and reach for your highest desires.
Dante’s wisdom, together with the insights of other ancient and modern masters, will be your steadfast anchor, guiding you toward what truly matters. It will help you meet life’s challenges with a serene and grateful mind, opening the way to new horizons of mental calm and spiritual freedom.
The first gateway of your pilgrimage is offered to you freely, so you may begin your ascent toward clearer and brighter skies without delay.
*Lao Tzu (6th century BCE): Lao Tzu, the legendary founder of Taoism, emphasized the importance of living in harmony with the Tao, or “The Way,” which represents the natural order of the universe. His philosophy advocates simplicity, humility, and the principle of non-action (wu wei)—the art of allowing things to unfold naturally without force. Lao Tzu teaches that living in alignment with the Tao brings peace and balance, both individually and collectively.
*Socrates (469–399 BCE): A foundational figure in Western philosophy, Socrates championed the pursuit of truth through dialogue and the Socratic method, which involves questioning beliefs and assumptions. He believed that knowledge lies within each individual and can be accessed by examining one’s own convictions. Socrates highlighted the importance of virtue and self-examination, famously stating that “the unexamined life is not worth living.”
*Epictetus (55–135 CE): A Stoic philosopher, Epictetus taught that while we cannot control external events, we can control our responses to them. He emphasized accepting what lies beyond our control and focusing on cultivating inner virtues such as wisdom, courage, and self-discipline. For Epictetus, true happiness arises from understanding and aligning with nature and reason, rather than seeking pleasure or avoiding pain.
*Marcus Aurelius (121–180 CE): Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius authored Meditations, a collection of personal reflections offering profound insights into Stoic thought. He stressed the value of being present, reason, self-discipline, and maintaining virtue in the face of adversity. Marcus Aurelius encouraged individuals to focus on their duties and live in harmony with the natural world, embracing both hardships and blessings with equanimity.
