About me

Hello! My name is Silvia. Thank you for taking the time to reading me. Stay curious...

I have been practicing Yoga for over 20 years. It gave me experiences I'd never had before and a  meaningful sense of life particularly after a hard physical traumatic experience. It took me through what I felt as a long term mental and physical recovery. Yet, considered by the doctors I was to consider myself as very fortunate.

I then encountered Buddhist meditation. Another unexpected life changing encounter. I retreated for years and took the chance to explore coming closer to experiences you might understand under the terms of 'awakening' ‘the whole’, compassion’, ‘emptiness'... and so developing  concentration, the power of intention and beautiful Tantric meditation practices.

I got quite skillful in single pointed concentration but of course, challenging life experiences didn't stop happening. I managed quite well to 'detach' from the intensity of the experience but yet, these were coming back to me even louder. I'd developed a super power ;) to make my feelings go quieter and for them to find space to hide in what I now call 'pockets' of my body. The Yoga and somatic dance were of tremendous help for body-mind to meet in balance and body release. But there was still something missing. More integrity. How to be spiritual without ignoring the life processing intelligence of the body. In the same way it shows us the effects of unprocessed past experiences in context, it can show us the way out of a loop of suffering if only the right caring focused guided attention is facilitated. 

And here I am, ready and willing to continue sharing these tools with you, when you feel called to doing the work. I find it an intrepid and exiting journey.

With love

Silvia
