My Path

Since adolescence, I have never sought to accumulate experiences. I have sought to understand.

To understand why human beings suffer.

Why some collapse while others grow through the very same trials ?

Why we can sometimes feel profoundly alive, only to feel completely disconnected from ourselves a few days later ?

Looking back, I now understand that every stage of my life was answering the same question:

How can we live in harmony with the Living?

I simply did not know it yet.

2004–2013: The first awakenings of consciousness

My search began with human relationships.

The first book that profoundly moved me was Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus by John Gray.

I discovered that there were keys to understanding others more deeply, communicating differently, and building more conscious relationships.

That discovery opened a door that would never close again.

At the same time, I worked a variety of jobs: flooring, plastering, cinema reception, cooking, and waiting tables.

I did not realise it then, but each of those jobs was already teaching me something essential: respect for work, commitment, and service.

In 2007, I became a football referee.

For several years, the football pitch became my school of emotional intelligence: making decisions under pressure, remaining calm in the face of aggression, and standing by my choices without needing to be liked.

I discovered that leadership often begins where the need for approval ends.

In 2009, I moved to London.

I thought I was going there to learn a language. More than anything, I encountered a different way of seeing the world.

During this period, I also read the King James Bible in full for the first time.

Without belonging to any particular religion, I discovered the teachings of Christ, which continue to deeply inspire the way I live today.

Then, in 2011, I entered The Geneva Hotel Management School.

There, I developed skills in management, organisation, and leadership. More importantly, I discovered the joy of bringing people together around a shared vision

In 2013, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz expanded my understanding of the human being even further.

An intuition began to grow within me. There was another way to live. A freer, more conscious, and simpler way.

I decided to devote my life to exploring it.

2013–2020: Serving before understanding

The Swiss Army became one of my greatest places of learning.

At first glance, the military world may seem completely opposed to what I share today.

And yet…

It was probably there that I learned some of the greatest lessons of my life.

At a young age, I led teams, managed significant budgets, organised large-scale events, and discovered that leadership is not about imposing one’s will. It is about creating the conditions in which each person can offer the best of themselves.

At the same time, I completed several courses in leadership and management, eventually earning a Swiss Federal Diploma.

But above all, it was experience in the field that shaped me.

In 2018, I was deployed to Kosovo as an officer in the Swiss Army.

For a year and a half, I lived in a region still deeply marked by the scars of war.

I met men and women who had lost everything.

Families who, despite it all, continued to love, rebuild, and hope.

That experience profoundly changed the way I saw the world.

I understood that peace is not an external condition. It is a way of inhabiting what happens to us. It always begins within.

When I returned to Switzerland, another truth became clear.

I could learn how to lead teams. I could learn how to manage organisations. But I could never truly accompany another human being without first learning to meet myself.

For a year, I continued my training with Franck Nicolas in personal leadership and self-knowledge.

I still believed I was building my life. But in reality… Life was preparing to dismantle everything I believed myself to be.

Then came 2020: a turning point, a profound existential crisis experienced as a symbolic death. I lost my bearings in order to be reborn into myself—the beginning of an inner alchemy and spiritual expansion.

2020–2022: Dying in order to be reborn

The year 2020 will probably remain one of the most important turning points of my life.

From the outside, everything still appeared to be standing. But inside… Everything was collapsing.

Certainties disappeared, roles fell away, the masks became impossible to wear

I went through a profound existential crisis. Looking back, I no longer see it as a collapse, but as an immense grace.

Because it was precisely when everything that was not truly me fell apart that I began to meet who I really was.

This period marked the beginning of an immense inner journey.

I trained in energetic rebalancing with Alain Giger.

I deepened my knowledge of naturopathy, living foods, fasting, and natural regeneration processes with Dr. Irène Grosjean and Dr. Sylvie Grosjean.

I then discovered holistic therapy and coaching with Mika Denissot.

But very quickly, one truth became undeniable.

No method can ever replace experience.

So I walked.

In 2021, I set out alone from Hendaye to Santiago de Compostela, and then onward to Cabo Fisterra. Nine hundred and five kilometres.

A few months later, I also crossed the Swiss Alps along the Via Alpina.

For many, these walks might be seen as physical achievements. For me, they became laboratories of consciousness.

Day after day, the path stripped away everything unnecessary. Only the essential remained: walking, breathing and trusting.

The following year, I set out again on the Camino de Santiago. This time, I began in Fribourg, Switzerland. More than two thousand kilometres on foot in fifty-nine days.

This second pilgrimage permanently changed the way I inhabited the world.

I gradually stopped looking for answers. I learned to trust the questions.

It was also on this path that the idea for my first book, Diary of a Modern Pilgrim, was born.

That same year, I founded Fabio’s Cocoon. Not as a business, but as the natural continuation of everything life was teaching me.

During this same period, I also continued my studies in inner alchemy according to the ancient Essene tradition, as well as medical dowsing. These approaches deepened my understanding of subtle energies, consciousness, and the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Gradually, a vision became clear to me: the body, emotions, mind, energy, and spiritual dimension cannot be separated. It is from this understanding that the holistic approach at the heart of my work was born.

2023–2024: Becoming the path

For a long time, I searched for answers.

Then one day, I understood that life was no longer asking me only to learn. It was asking me to embody.

In 2023, I began publicly sharing what the previous years had patiently built within me.

I gave my first talks in the south of France, at the Light Club in Bandol and later at La Fête du Vivant, where I shared a vision that still lives deeply within me today: true transformation does not mean becoming someone else. It means rediscovering who we already are.

A few weeks later, I walked two hundred kilometres in the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi, between La Verna and Assisi.

Once again, the path became my greatest teacher. Saint Francis inspired me not only through his words, but through the way he lived: his humility, his simplicity, and his relationship with all of creation.

I understood that spirituality is not an idea. It is a way of inhabiting each moment.

That same year, I organised my first retreats.

Then came The Art of Reinventing Your Life, a self-guided journal designed to help people transform their intentions into daily actions.

I also continued attending Vipassana retreats and deepening my exploration of traditional Tantra and shamanism.

Gradually, everything began to converge. What had once seemed like many separate paths started revealing a single direction .

Always the same one, the return to the Living

2024–2025: Exploring the Living

In July 2024, I made one of the most important decisions of my life.

I sold almost everything I owned and left Switzerland with a backpack, without a return date.

Many people asked me what I was running away from. Looking back, I can answer with certainty:

I was simply responding to a call.

During the months that followed, life became my only school.

I travelled through Mongolia, Russia, China, Nepal, India, Thailand, Bali, Peru, and Guatemala.

Each country taught me a different dimension of the Living.

In Nepal, the mountains reminded me of humility. The Everest and the Annapurna are not approached in opposition to nature. They are approached with respect.

In India, yoga ceased to be merely a physical practice. It became a way of unifying the body, breath, heart, and consciousness.

In Thailand, the Taoist teachings of Mantak Chia invited me to understand that our vital energy is not an obstacle to overcome, but a creative force to be loved, understood, and directed.

Then came Peru. I spent an entire month in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, immersed in the Shipibo tradition

That experience marked a before and an after in my life.

For the first time, I stopped trying to understand life. I allowed it to teach me. Through the ceremonies, something within me died: my need to control.

I discovered that true healing is not about becoming better. It is about letting go of everything that separates us from our deepest nature.

A few months later, in Guatemala, another stage began.

Through the study of sacred mushrooms and ancestral traditions, I became aware of a responsibility I had never fully accepted.

I understood that certain experiences are not given to us so that we can keep them for ourselves.

They are entrusted to us so that we may place them humbly in service to others.

This understanding profoundly transformed the way I accompany people.

I gradually stopped trying to guide.

I learned instead to create a space in which each person could encounter their own truth.

At the end of the year, I returned to India for an intensive five-hundred-hour yoga teacher training, so that everything life had already begun teaching me could descend more deeply into the body.

I discovered then that the true teacher is neither a person nor a tradition.

The true teacher is Life itself.

2026: Integrating the Living

At the beginning of the year, I felt the need to slow down.

After exploring so many traditions, cultures, and ways of living, one truth became clear: It was time to stop accumulating experiences and begin integrating them.

I travelled across Sri Lanka from north to south, following the rhythm of encounters, temples, ocean, and mountains. This journey taught me a new form of simplicity: the simplicity that no longer seeks to add, but learns to fully appreciate what is already here.

In March, I returned to the practice of Vipassana, this time in Australia. I completed eleven days of silent retreat, followed by eleven days of service for new meditators. For the first time, I discovered the other side of the practice: sharing through presence rather than through words. Service became a meditation in itself.

A few weeks later, I continued my journey with Clairvision in Australia, attending the intensive workshop Opening the Third Eye, followed by the IST 101 training in Inner Space Techniques.

This approach marked an important step in my journey. I deepened my understanding of consciousness, the release of emotional memories, and the unconscious mechanisms that influence our behaviour. I discovered powerful tools that allow me to support people in revisiting certain experiences from their lives—not in order to relive the past, but to transform the imprint it left behind and recover greater inner freedom.

This training naturally enriched the way I work. It became part of the many approaches I had explored over the years, within an increasingly coherent vision of the human being—one in which the body, emotions, energy, and consciousness are never separated, but are always in dialogue.

I then returned to Bali to complete the final revisions of Diary of a Modern Pilgrim, the fruit of four years of writing and several months of walking. The book, due to be published in November 2026, is far more than a travel story. It is the testimony of an inner transformation and a gradual return to what is essential.

Life then led me to New Zealand. I travelled across much of the North Island by hitchhiking, before exploring the South Island by car—from the wild beaches of Abel Tasman to the fjords of Doubtful Sound, through mountains, glaciers, and the landscapes that brought the world of The Lord of the Rings to life, a universe that has nourished my imagination since childhood.

Once again, I realised that the most magnificent landscapes are not destinations. They are invitations to return to silence.

Before leaving the country, I returned once more to Vipassana, this time serving at the Dhamma Medinī centre.

Ending this chapter through service reminded me of an essential truth: every spiritual path loses its meaning if it does not one day become an act of giving.

Today, my journey continues in Vietnam. The difference is that I am no longer here to search for something. I am here to give a new form to everything life has offered me.

It is here that I am allowing Fabio’s Cocoon to evolve into an approach that is more personal, simpler, and more authentic.

For several years, this brand carried my work and my services. Today, I no longer feel the need to stand behind a name, a concept, or a constructed identity.

I have simply chosen to fully embrace who I am.

That is why I now bring all of my work together under my own name: Fabio Sinicropi

Because over the years, I have understood that what I share is neither a method nor a concept. It is a way of living that I strive, each day, to embody a little more deeply.
