Welcome to My Universe, Cosmic Spirit,
In navigating the cosmic labyrinth of life, we often seek the like-hearted spirits who illuminate our path. Allow me to introduce myself, Nicolas Genna, the creator and visionary behind the From Atom to Cosmos Project
(www.fromatomtocosmos.com), an endeavour that naturally evolved from the Teacher on the Road Project – a journey around the world overland that began in 2012 and continues to weave its profound tapestry today..
The Journey Begins
Born in France on May 29, 1979, I have always felt the pull of the stars, leading me to become a true citizen of the world. My journey has taken me across 51 countries, where I have lived, worked, and learned in 15 of them since 2002. From the verdant landscapes of New Zealand and Australia to the rugged terrains of Alaska and the spiritual heartlands of India and Tibet, each destination has been a chapter in my ongoing quest for deeper understanding and connection.
A Multidisciplinary Path
My academic journey was as epic and eclectic as my travels. I hold a master’s degree in psychology, physical education, professional coaching, group management, nutrition, and health from the Université des Sports et des Sciences in Nice, France. This foundation was tailored to my early passions and provided an alternative path to societal expectations. Teaching has always been a cornerstone of my life – from physical education in national institutions to teaching English as a second language in the Netherlands, Nepal, Japan, and Mexico.
While most people choose a fixed 'career' for most of their existence, I've always been inexorably drawn towards a more multidisciplinary approach to life, with the intention of putting all the pieces of the giant cosmic jigsaw together, so to speak, and really understanding the full meaning of human and spiritual experience in an integral and inclusive mode. In my "younger" years, my professional journey was very diverse – from secondary school teacher and university lecturer to photographer, restaurant manager, fisherman, and agricultural worker. This multiplicity of experiences has enriched my understanding of life and the intricate dance between the human and spiritual realms.
The Marriage of Spirit & Science
Even as I taught, a yearning for something greater persisted within me. In more recent years, this yearning has led me to explore and teach sustainability, astrology, yoga, Reiki, Chinese medicine and holistic therapy through courses and retreats all over the world. Since the tender age of 11, when I first gazed upon the cosmos through a planetarium, and at 14, when I began studying astrology, I have been captivated by the interplay between the scientific and the spiritual. This fascination has driven me to integrate Western medical practices such as physiotherapy and osteopathy with ancestral philosophies of meditation, breathing, and healing arts like Reiki and Chinese medicine. My therapeutic techniques aim to harmonize the body and mind, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.
I've always thought and felt that I was a person no better or worse than anyone else, but certainly very different from anyone else. And unlike most of the people around me, beyond society's expectations and judgements, I've always tried to accept these differences without necessarily understanding them at first. Later, after travelling, living, working and above all learning so much during my adventures around the world since I was 23 (I'm now 44), I realised that Astronomy and Astrology are the two most special and fascinating fields that I can share with people who are really looking for concrete answers to certain existential questions of the human experience, whether on a scientific or spiritual level, with the aim of finding a healthy and harmonious balance in life. For whatever we may think, the real answers in life lie in the marriage (and not the separation - or exclusivity) of these two approaches.
Teacher on the Road
In 2012, I embarked on an extraordinary journey around the world overland without money, first travelling from France to Nepal. This experience, chronicled in my book "The Five Phases of Freedom," was a testament to the power of intention and the magic of synchronicity. It taught me that stepping out of one's comfort zone opens up a realm of infinite possibilities. This journey was not just about physical travel, but a profound exploration of consciousness and human interdependence.
From Atom to Cosmos
From Atom to Cosmos is the culmination of my life's journey and learnings. It is a sanctuary for those disillusioned by outdated societal models and commercialized spirituality. Here, we embrace the unorthodox and the mindful misfits, believing that life’s essence lies in the curiosity to embrace new, meaningful experiences in harmony with nature and the cosmos. Our holistic coaching and retreats are designed to uplift collective consciousness, supporting individuals in breaking cyclical patterns and embracing their divine nature.
An Invitation to Journey Together
In this sacred union of spirit and science, we find our truest selves. Our all-customizable, holistic coaching and retreats aim to guide you through both your human and spiritual endeavours. We believe in the boundless power of intention, attraction, and manifestation, and we are honored to teach you how to master these principles and apply them in your daily life.
Join me, and let us journey through the cosmos, growing and evolving, one enlightened step at a time.
