Fascinated by nature since her earliest memories, Tigrilla Gardenia turned that passion into her vocation. Her journey began in a polyethnic childhood. She earned a degree in music and electrical engineering, entering the high-tech corporate world via RealNetworks and Microsoft in the early days of the internet.

The desire to escape the confines of the corporate world proved too strong, and Tigrilla soon began following her own spiritual path. She co-owned a circus, produced intentional dance events, taught Kabbalah, and even toured with Cirque du Soleil. After exploring the world, she's created a home base as a citizen of Damanhur in Italy — one of the largest spiritual eco-communities in the world.

Today, she works as a Nature-Inspired Mentor and Leadership Coach. Her studies focus on Plant Intelligence, the Effects of Plant Music on Human Health, Social Innovation, and EcoSystems Thinking.
