Silviana Carter

My name is Silviana Carter (Visan),

I'm an author, actress, life coach, hypnotherapist and trainer at Gratian Sonu Meditation School!

In my early career I was a Maths teacher.

Thanks to my many trainings, I am able to see reality from many different perspectives, but if I wouldn’t have attended Grațian Sonu's School, I would have omitted a very important part of myself: the emotional intelligence, as I used to believe that rational intelligence means everything, according to my previous trainings.

To feel has become my new religion, along with Gratian Sonu's DFMT meditation, the light speed mediation, as I like to call it, for which you don't need any meetings with anyone, or retreats, but only with yourself, short, high impact, and successful ones!

While I was in acting school, UNATC, I realized that if I want to finish college I have to shift my brains from the rational side, to the emotional side, or else I won't finish!

Then, after my graduation, I met the actress and director Clara Flores who trained me and I won the Best Actress Award at the Young Actor's Hop Gala, given by Ștefan Iordache, Emilia Popescu and Marius Manole, which made me very happy.
I performed in several theatres in Bucharest and around the country, in underground venues, and I am the actress and writer of two theater plays:

''Stand up pls'' written together with Vera Ion and Sorin Poama, as part of the project „Scrie despre tine” in the role of Cleo Popa performed at the Act Theatre, and
''Feisbuc Lover'' written together with Ramona Iacob, directed by Misa Serban, in the role of Sonia, played for the first time at Godot Theatre.

Important Projects
I founded Improhaz, a theatrical improvisation group with which I have preformed donzen of shows in underground venues.
My dream is to be the Montessori of emotional intelligence, combining Montessori method with the latest findings from this century in emotional intelligence. Nowadays, emotional intelligence has become an essential need not only for children but also for adult of all ages.
Therefore, 11 years ago I started working in Montessori private kindergartens and after schools, with a course called "Recognition of Emotions through acting and pantomime games". The course is very successful among children aged 3 to 13 and since 4 years ago, I also started working with adults with a course called "Improvisation with Emotions".

In the meantime, I founded the project „Tree of Emotions”, in collaboration with coach-hypnotherapist Emilian Ciprian Ene, painter Raluca Axinte, graphic designer George Palici, and last but not least the ewmotional intelligence scientist Grațian Sonu.
Soon after, the online Tree of Emotions Educational Centre was born during the pandemic period. And this gave me the hope that I could reach more children - Romanians in the country and abroad, therefore children from France, Reșița, Craiova and Iași, but also children from Bucharest who couldn’t attend in person, could now access the program online.

I have in plan to write a couple of books, on the extremely important topics of parenting and emotional intelligence.
I am currently working on the „Feel and Grow Rich” book, together with Emilian Ene.
