About this Retreat
Eileen is a multi-talented individual with a diverse range of skills and experiences. She is a dedicated Plant Medicine Practitioner, a former humanitarian worker, a skilled journalist, and an intuitive tarot reader. Eileen has spent the last 12 years living in Cambodia, where she has been working hard to revive the country's ancient wisdom-keepers and their traditions, which were nearly lost during the Khmer Rouge era.
Eileen's journey began with a profound realization during a sacred medicine ceremony in the jungles of Ecuador, which opened up new possibilities for her. This experience has inspired her to pursue her passion for helping others discover their true purpose and live a life of courage, accountability, vulnerability, and personal freedom.
Today Eileen is using her extensive wisdom to guide her clients towards embracing their highest selves and opening up portals of freedom, abundance, and prosperity.
Eileen's work is enriched by her deep wisdom of the ancient science of the I Ching and modern Gene Keys, which she is passionate about studying. She has the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients, including founders, academics, entrepreneurs, educators, and creatives, to help them discover their dharma and fulfill their true purpose in life.
Eileen started Somaya to encourage young Cambodians to embrace their sacred indigenous roots and embark on a path of radical healing and empowerment. Eileen McCormick's unwavering commitment to her soul's mission and dedication to reviving ancient wisdom is truly inspiring. She is a visionary and changemaker who is making a profound impact on the lives of her clients and the cultural heritage of Cambodia.
Asmita, a gifted healer, was chosen by the revered gurus and priests of her community at a tender age. They recognized her unique ability to connect with the unseen, bestowing upon her the power to honor the extraordinary at an early stage in life. Immersed in enchanting Hindu and Indian texts during her childhood, she imbibed tales that kindled her perception that every individual she encountered was, in fact, divine in disguise (god in drag).
Drawing from an amalgamation of personal experiences and immersive training with plant medicine and psychedelic-assisted therapy, Asmita resolved to devote her life to supporting Asian communities and individuals of other ethnicities.
Her mission was to help them uncover the tools and vocabulary within their ancestral languages, enabling them to transcend the generational torment suppressed for far too long. Reflecting the essence of her name, which signifies a valuing of one's own intrinsic worth, Asmita embarked on a fool's journey akin to that depicted in the Tarot. She boldly stepped off the precipice and discovered her true self along the way, ultimately honoring and finding her soul purpose.
Now, honoring her Indian heritage, Asmita dedicates herself to holding space and sharing her ancient wisdom. Nurture, guidance, and encouragement are offered to all those brave enough to seek their own form of self-expression and to rediscover their innate self-worth.
Dr. Hiromi Kawai is a doctor who went to the Kawasaki Medical College in Kurashiki, Japan, and got her degree there.
She practices Japanese alternative medicine and treats muscle pain with a mix of Japanese acupuncture and painful massage. Traditional Chinese medicine is used in Japanese acupuncture. Thin needles are inserted into certain spots on the body. A painful massage is a type of massage that uses deep pressure to release muscle tightness. Painful massages started in Japan more than a thousand years ago. They use deep pressure to loosen up tight muscles. It helps break up knots and clumps in the muscles. There is pain for a short time, but it typically goes away after that and the patient feels relieved.
Dr Hiromi also uses the Asada method to treat cancer. The Japanese physician Dr. Teruo Asada came up with the Asada method in the 1970s. It is a way to kill cancer cells by exposing them to the mumps virus. For the Asada method to work, the mumps virus is injected into the growth. The virus then makes copies of itself inside the cancer cells, which kills them. The virus is made to attack only cancer cells and not healthy ones.
Cancers like breast cancer, lung cancer, and brain tumors have all been treated with the Asada method. But the method can have side affects for some people, so those who want to see Dr. Hiromi need to first go through a series of tests in the lab.
Harley is a member of an ethnic group in Cambodia, and from an early age, she realized that her mindset was different from those around her. As a young girl, she had many questions in her head, but these questions never quite got clear answers. She married at 14 in a bid to escape her past and find freedom, but after just one year, she divorced and pursued her high school education.
Upon finishing school, Harley stumbled upon Khmer martial arts, which transformed her life. Through her training, she experienced something deeper, a spirit of a warrior that changed her perspective significantly.
In 2021, Harley had a crisis moment; she felt disconnected from her spirit and lost her connection to social life for six months. Her senior Bokator instructor, who has been teaching in Cambodia for over 10 years, was a source of comfort during this difficult time, texting her to wake her up from bad dreams.
Learning to navigate these spiritual test, Harley connected with the Master of Yant Khmer in Siem Reap to gain more spiritual understanding. She went on to explore emotional constructs further, involved strange dreams and strange stories, culminating in mastering profound and divine energies.
Harley is a wisdom keeper at Somaya retreats she helps those who embark on a journey of healing to find their spiritual potential through customised, whole-person care. Her bespoke approach takes into account one's emotional and mental psyches.
She is an exceptional compassionate practitioners who helps teach people how to use the warrior spirit to find pure awareness and strength. She has many master teachers that she continues to work with her. As she progresses to master ancient khmer magical arts she invites the global community to learn along with her.
