Silvia Talavera
Silvia Talavera (she/her)
Inspired by the wild places without borders Silvia guides from a full life experience that is filled with the sacred, profane and the wild graced with humor and curiosity.
A wilderness guide since 1993 and a seasoned hospice nurse and a Reiki practitioner. Silvia continues to hold the similarities of the symbolic death and the physical death and how one mirrors the other and how both of these have informed her life.
She is a supporter of deep immersion into the natural landscape where exploration of the mythic, the archetype and the imaginal dimensions is the gateway to the hero/heroine’s journey.
Silvia is an elder, great grandmother, mentor and embraces her elderhood with great joy, deep humility and daily gratitude.
Her work in all its expressions is devoted to the reawakening of our true selves and remembering our natural instinct to love and healing for the benefit of all beings and remains committed to service of the greater good.
