Revisiting it in Vishen's class is giving me goosebumps

Quick summary

Liane made bold life changes across decades, from New York to Tokyo to Israel, becoming an intuitive art teacher along the way. Revisiting the Silva Method with Vishen, they're discovering they may have been teaching these principles all along.

This is really freaky. In the mid-eighties, I had a wake-up call to leave my cozy New York life and move to Japan. In the nineties, I had an artistic awakening in my mid-thirties and became an exhibiting intuitive artist almost overnight. In the 2000s I began teaching my approach to intuitive drawing as it had never been done before--through juxtaposition with a deck of my original cards. By the 2010s I had established an art center in Tokyo to teach these methods. Then in 2017 on a visit to Israel, I knew that I wasn't going back to Japan despite leaving behind a thriving art community and even my son. Thirty years in Tokyo and I had to walk away. A month later both my children joined me in Israel and the Japanese students became a beautiful ongoing online community. I'd forgotten that I had read the Silva Method many many decades ago. Revisiting it in Vishen's class is giving me goosebumps. When I first read the book I had nobody to bounce ideas off. Now I'm an art teacher that actually unwittingly may be teaching his methods. I will soon find out as this course progresses. Unbelievable!
