“Everything starts with Who Am I?” says Viviane who started her journey in her early 20’s after an existential crisis. Later in her life, upon seeing the benefits and transformation by practicing Myoku, Viviane wanted to help others start their own journey to self-empowerment and awakening by being aligned with their true nature / Self.  She is an affiliate with Humanity’s Team organization and shares their mission to help make conscious living the future of humanity.  Viviane gave Myoku workshops in the USA, Canada, France, and Norway. Everything Viviane does and writes is to inspire others to awaken and be on their transformative journey to self-realization.  The 21st century needs conscious leaders.
