Silvia Resnik, Austrian coach and guide, has been shaped by a single thread: the deep human need for self-understanding and authentic connection. Silvia shares her lifelong struggle with depression and inner void, her late discovery that she was a vanishing twin, and how a chance encounter with the Maasai people of Tanzania cracked her wide open and gave her back her joy. She reflects on the contrast between Western culture's obsession with achievement and possessions and the Maasai's rich communal life, discusses her project to end FGM and bring education to indigenous communities, and speaks candidly about women's unique challenge of unlearning the roles imposed on them from birth.
