Organizer La Ghianda by Simona Trabucco
My name is Simona Trabucco and, in addition to organizing the Luxury & Vintage Market (I worked as a manager for many years and I simply love organizing!), I am also a passionate researcher and practitioner of shamanism and esoteric traditions.
The practices I offer, rooted in an imaginal and archetypal vision of life, have profoundly transformed my own journey. They allowed me to move beyond a victim-centered and painful perspective shaped by deeply traumatic experiences, and to embrace a more inspired, meaningful, and creative way of living. For several years now, I have lived in a dimension of immense creativity—so much so that I left a secure and financially rewarding career to begin my adventure with La Ghianda in 2016, an adventure that has since become a true success story.
Since then, after many years of training and personal transformation, I have been working from my practice in Lugano and online as a Family Constellations Facilitator with an Imaginal approach, an Imaginal Regression and Progression Practitioner, an Imaginal Counsellor certified by SGfB (Swiss Association for Professional Psychosocial Counselling), a Tarot Reader (Jodorowsky Method), and a Keeper of Fairy Tales (Metafiabe and Fairy Tale Biography Method developed by Paola Biato).
In Switzerland and Italy, particularly during the Holistic Holidays, I lead group Family and Socio-Professional Constellation seminars, initiations as a Keeper of the Mother Mantra and Shamanic Yoga Teacher, as well as workshops dedicated to Fairy Tale Biography through the Metafiabe Method. I also hold a Bhakti Yoga certification from Yoga Alliance International and a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training certification, also accredited by Yoga Alliance International.
I never stop exploring, learning, and deepening my understanding of myself. Since 2023, I have been part of the SAT School (Seekers After Truth) founded by Claudio Naranjo, mentor to my beloved teacher Cristóbal Jodorowsky. There, I am studying Enneatype Psychology, Archetypal Theatre, Free Movement, and Vipassana Meditation.
I have studied, practiced, and taught the ancient art of Tarot since childhood, when my mother gifted me my first mysterious deck along with a book explaining its secrets. For several years I studied with Cristóbal Jodorowsky and collaborated with him, organizing one of his “Psychotheatre and Tarot” events in Switzerland at the Teatro di Chiasso, attended by 400 guests. I also attended the Metamundo School, specializing in Psychoshamanic Constellations, Tarot, and Psychomagic, along with many experiential seminars led by him.
In addition, I attended advanced seminars on Alejandro Jodorowsky’s method with Marianne Costa and tarot practitioners who learned directly from Alejandro Jodorowsky or Philippe Camoin. I have earned several diplomas and completed important training programs, including certification as a Metamedicine Consultant. I have also been a passionate student of Evolutionary Astrology since childhood.
