The meaning of Spazio Dantian

Spazio Dantian was born from the meeting of two complementary paths: Elena’s and Nicola’s.
Both have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of balance, awareness, and connection with nature, gaining experience in various parts of the world and journeying through ancient cultures, disciplines, and traditions.

For Elena, it all began with a deep sensitivity toward the laws of nature and the unity between human beings and the environment. Her academic studies in sustainability, together with more than fifteen years of practice in Indian and Chinese traditions, led her to transform this vision into a mission:

to guide individuals and organizations in a process of reconnection with themselves and with the world around them. Her experiences of study and research in Sweden, Brazil, and Japan have enriched her path of transformation. In Japan, she practiced Jōdō in a temple, where movement and discipline become presence, and she deepened her study of ancient Chinese medicine and Qi Gong with traditional Shifu in the Kung Fu lineage.
This journey strengthened her desire to bring love and gratitude into daily life and work, uniting body, mind, and nature into a single path of awareness.

Nicola’s path began with the intuition that the energy that permeates nature is the same that vibrates in sound. Since childhood, he has nurtured a love for music and a deep sensitivity to sound, which led him to explore it as a path of knowledge. In the 1990s, this research expanded in London, where he deepened his investigation of frequencies, rhythms, and resonances through electronic composition. He has never seen himself as a musician, but as a sound researcher : someone who listens, experiments, and allows what already vibrates beneath the surface to emerge. Today, his research continues through ancestral instruments, in dialogue with the rhythms of nature and the subtler dimensions of being. In parallel, his background in biology and his experience in phytotherapy have led him to integrate both traditional and modern knowledge in the preparation of natural remedies. In every aspect of his path, his intention remains the same: to listen, to observe, and to allow the frequencies and harmonies that already exist—in nature and in ourselves—to emerge.

Spazio Dantian is the synthesis of all this: a place where longevity practices, body awareness, inner balance, and dialogue with nature become a shared path.
It is a meeting point between diverse experiences that, together, create a space devoted to care, presence, and transformation.

Elena Rusci

Elena is the first teacher of Mindfulness for Sustainable Transformation. She is also a certified instructor of Yoga and Qi Gong. Her path is rooted in a continuous journey of research and training in the fields of vibrational medicine, sound, ancient chinese medicine, and the sciences of embodied cognition.

Her approach integrates body, mind, sound, and energy, based on the understanding—now also supported by scientific research—that the mind is not separate from the body: thought, learning, and awareness emerge from the continuous interaction between bodily experience, sensory perception, and the environment.
Through somatic and contemplative practices, Elena guides individuals and organizations in rediscovering their deep intelligence—the kind that arises from a listening body and can guide processes of both individual and collective transformation.

Over the years, he has delved into various fields of study, including:

  • One-year Mindfulness-Based Sustainable Transformation Teacher Training with Inner Green Deal and Lund University, with ongoing deepening and practice, including the study of habit change

  • Two-year Yoga Teacher Training with Hari Om (Yoga Alliance certified), with continuous learning and evolving practice, including study and integration of Kundalini Yoga
