Connecting to nature feels like coming home
I’m Micol, or Mimi, a photographer and forest bathing guide. My work centers on introspection and creative expression. I see creativity, nature and presence as transformative tools for reconnection.
My purpose is to gently guide others back to themselves and our earth family, using nature, the body, emotion, and creativity as pathways.
Through stories, myths, and real-life situations, I reflect on social topics such as sexuality, taboos, gender equality, and ecopsychology and neuroscience.
Roots, contemplation, and northern wind
I was born on the Winter Solstice, in a quiet countryside nook where time moved slowly, surrounded by animals, trees, and dreams waiting to be imagined.
From an early age, I lived in close connection with nature and my emotions, weaving stories from imagination and a keen eye for detail. Yet, a difficult and lonely childhood led me to build a protective shell, separating me from myself and those around me.
After high school, I set out on travels in search of answers. Yet, instead of finding them in distant places, my journey turned inward.
In Northern Europe, I rediscovered my wild side — the one that loves raw earth, gentle solitude, and the healing strength of roots.
During my university years, my personal journey drew me toward therapy and art as pathways to healing. That’s where I discovered the potential of photographic experience as a tool for inner exploration.
I have published and exhibited my photography across Italy and Europe, yet my greatest pride lies in forging genuine connections with people.
Training in mindfulness and forest bathing felt like a natural next step. Now, I weave together photography, presence and nature to help sensitive, disconnected souls rediscover a sense of belonging, just as I did.
Mal di Bosco: a place to find yourself
Mal di Bosco was born from my wish to offer what I once sought: a welcoming space to heal the disconnection between body, mind, and all living things.
I create forest bathing experiences, soulful photography, and offerings that blend both.
These are paths designed for those longing to connect with their wild selves and our terrestrial family.
My method:
listening, immersion, awareness
Every journey begins with a meeting, where we talk, listen, and get to know one another.
My most essential tool is forest immersion, a space that awakens our wild energy and uncovers hidden inner resources.
I guide sensory and embodied explorations, and lead closing rituals that nurture awareness and invite transformation.
