About Silvia (Sivani)
Life Experiences
My healing work is a synthesis of the trainings, lectures, workshops and teachings of inspiring teachers that crossed my path during the thirty eight years spent at the Esalen Institute, USA.
My gratitude goes to my former astrology mentors, directors and fellow teachers of the Polaris International College, Denmark for initiating me into the legacy of the Ageless Wisdom and specially to my son Josh, who taught me that..

My Path
My name is Silvia Guersenzvaig (Sivani). Arrived to the Esalen Institute in 1982 with a BA in Psychology from Belgrano University Buenos Aires, and a practice as a professional astrologer. My first involvement was with Holotropic Breathing, the work of Dr Stanislav Grof and had the gift of being his assistant in a couple of his month-longs. Fully immersed in the presence of masters like psychic Dr Anne Armstrong, mindfulness teacher Jack Kornfield, consciousness and psychedelic researcher Ralph Metzner, near death researcher Keneth Ring and magical Angeles Arrien among many others. I was personally impressed by the teachings of Keneth Ring and his Near death research. So much so, that is currently one of my burning passions. I danced with Gabrielle Roth, attended Terence Mc Kenna's lectures and participated in gestalt open seats with masters like Dick Price, John Heider and Richard Olney to mention just a few.
Further training in Continuum, movement meditation, the work of Emilie Conrad D'Aud and Susan Harper, led me to teach it in Buenos Aires at Cuerpo- Mente Institute between 1989-92. I was by then certified in Esalen® Massage, worked in the Massage Crew, and later became an International Esalen® Massage Teacher, offering certifications in USA, Argentina and Spain..
Entering 2004, I started my training in Transformational Kinesiology, the work of Grethe Fremming and Rolf Havsbol, which led me to become a certified bi-lingual practitioner and teacher of the system with the Polaris International College, Denmark.
I am the creator of the OpenStars Circle and AstroSoma, Somatic Astrology.
I am currently a facilitator for IANDS, International Association for Near Death Studies, through their online platform ISGO and participated as a panelist and speaker on the subject of survival of consciousness after death and after death communication in recent conferences (2015-2016).
After all my life’s joys and pains, I am deeply grateful and blessed about my journey, and I am looking forward to inspire and help as many people as I possibly can.
“I felt my expanded soul-energy in my physical body immediately, and within a couple of hours 50% of the pain held in my back muscles was released and has not come back. Silvia is a skilled practitioner, and I would highly recommend this modality.”
