About the Founder
Educated at Eton and Westminster before studying Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Buddhist Studies at SOAS, Alessandro Genovese Cicogna has devoted much of his life to investigating the nature of reality, consciousness, and human fulfilment.
For over a decade, this inquiry has taken him through contemplative practice, psychotherapy, monastic retreat, and sustained study within living wisdom traditions under the guidance of experienced teachers. Alongside this inner exploration, he has sought understanding through lived experience—working as a horse trainer in Argentina, a winemaker in France, a wilderness rites-of-passage apprentice in the United States, and a frontline case worker with homeless youth.
His work is grounded in the conviction that genuine fulfilment cannot be secured through success, status, possessions, or belief, but emerges through a deeper understanding of oneself and one's place in reality.
Today, Alessandro works with clients internationally through the ZENOLETHIA method, supporting those confronting questions of meaning, identity, and how to discover an enduring ground within themselves from which authenticity, confidence, and fulfilment naturally arise. His work is particularly suited to thoughtful young adults who feel disconnected from conventional measures of success and are seeking a more deeply rooted way of living.
