Oliver-Barrett Giacobbe.
“OB” as dubbed by many friends, students and colleagues, is a holistic wellness practitioner-teacher and spiritual teacher-guide.
However when asked he says,
“I am just a normal guy who’s been trying to figure things out about my life and the energy within and all around me, in and around us all. I am truly just a student of life… energy and consciousness while doing my best to experience it, practice it, and share it.”
Through his continuous exploration of different cultures around the world, both ancient and modern, by experiencing and learning various spiritual, healing and wellness practices and different philosophies; he continues to hold a deep sense of curiosity of the human condition, freedom from suffering, and understanding consciousness. He is a devoted student and practitioner of learning and teaching these spiritual and holistic practices for everyday wellness and continuing to harness the ability and wisdom to share them.
OB grew up like many of us with a story. One that was not “easy” or thought of as “typical”.
Through many hurdles and challenges, both in and out of his control, he found and began his “practice” at the age of 7. At which he was introduced to meditation as an alternative for help with a neurological condition that he had since birth.
He has said many times,
“I feel, if I had not been introduced to other types of understanding with practices such as meditation, yoga, working with energy, vibration, sound, light, my connection to nature and so forth in support of my overall wellness at that young age; I may not have made it to this older age and be able to share them today.”
From what was random, sporadic and spontaneous opportunities, when he was very young, to learn and experience new modalities of wellness and these different cultures then turned to more, periodic, decision made experiences to learn even more as he grew older. Which, then sprung to what became his everyday practice, his everyday life, his way of life.
Whether spending long periods or actually living in remote landscapes rewinding alone and off-grid, being in major cities and towns at studios, wellness and practice centers or experiencing, practicing, studying and living in monastery, ashram, temple or a hut; he continues to be filled with joy in exploring the real connection we have to all things and his continued research and studies of natural health, spiritual and holistic practices.
During and between these life experiences and subversive situations, about 10 years ago OB began teaching others what he had been learning and experiencing from his studies and practices; he continues to do this today for students and clients throughout the world.
