Born and raised in Italy, Viviana is both a traveler of the world and an explorer of the inner landscapes of the mind and heart. After earning a degree in Economics and beginning a career in finance, she realized her true calling lay elsewhere. A series of profound spiritual experiences led her to discover Ayahuasca in 2017, igniting a transformative journey that changed her life.
Driven by a thirst for truth and a desire to dig beneath the surface of reality, Viviana has spent thousands of hours in ceremony, both in group settings and in solitude, including master plant diets in the Amazon rainforest. She joined Soltara’s family in 2022, where she now supports guests in navigating their personal healing journeys.
For Viviana, plant medicine is a tool to return to the heart’s core, clearing away the noise that disconnects us from our true essence. She sees it as a way to clean the mirror through which we view ourselves and the world. In her facilitation, Viviana creates a space where others feel naturally at ease being their authentic selves, holding a presence that reflects back the light of those around her. She guides participants in organizing their thoughts and emotions, helping them reconnect with their core motivations and intentions. Her approach focuses on identifying deeper messages and teachings that wish to emerge, always rooted in love, personal growth, and collective evolution.
Viviana’s facilitation style is inclusive and supportive, grounded in presence, active listening, radical acceptance and deep compassion. She aims to create a safe and nurturing environment where cathartic healing can unfold, both in and outside the ceremony space.
Outside of her work with Soltara, Viviana facilitates transformative workshops in Italy, focusing on authentic self-expression and conscious intimacy. These workshops are designed as tools for self-discovery, inviting participants to build heart-centered connections with themselves and others.
