I studied at Bocconi and worked as a manager, but at 25 I did the Hoffman Process. At that point, I realized that the only way to achieve true happiness was to follow my authentic path—not the one I was building to prove my worth to the world.

Today, I facilitate inner revolutions. I guide intense, grounded, and liberating experiences that awaken the truest part of you. As I write this, I feel deep gratitude and honor in serving as CEO of the Hoffman Institute, to which I consciously dedicate most of my life.

Sandro Voi, Doctor of Psychology and Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, will explore this topic on Sunday afternoon at Limbo Festival.
