We are heartbroken to share with you that Silvana died peacefully in hospital on Saturday 10 October 2026, having suffered a major aneurysm whilst giving a talk.
Her passing is affecting so many people across the world. Silvana was at the heart of our Movement Medicine community. We will always remember her with love and deep respect.
We are grateful that Silvana's friend and colleague Tamara Candiracci wrote a powerful piece: "In Honour of Silvana Rigobon" on behalf of Movement Medicine Italia, which you will find in our "Medicine Blog" (see under "ABOUT"). Thank you Tamara.
With love to you and warmth to your heart,
Susannah and Ya'Acov Darling Khan
The words which follow here, below, are Silvana's as her Teacher's profile was before she passed away.
Silvana means "of the Forest". She loves trees and her land, Friuli.
She is passionate about cycles, circles and circumferences.
Her vision is to honor the cycles of life, supporting the intergenerational eco-system that makes a community stronger.
Silvana is a dreamweaver and she shared her vision on a TEDx talk: a change of narrative on the topic of the female body, and a future that is more human, where intergenerational groups of people dance and sing around the fire.
In her facilitation she combines the maps of Movement Medicine™ , Menstruality, People Permaculture and Theory U. She is the co-founder of Movement Medicine Italia.
Her 21 gratitudes go to a song by Gabrielle Roth, that crossed her path "by chance", during a meditation, in 2006. The song was “Refuge", and one step at a time it’s taking her Home.
