Bianca - Founder Vine of the Soul

20+ years from corporate to transformational work, Hypnotherapist, Human Potential Coach, Founder of Vine of the Soul - blends RTT, hypnotherapy and trauma-informed practice to create safe, effective containers. Bianca brings over 20 years of experience in corporate consultancy into her work as a healer and transformational guide. After a successful career in IT and value engineering, she discovered that professional achievement alone could not resolve the depression, insomnia, and chronic pain she carried. This realization led her on a profound journey of healing and self-discovery. Her path began with plant medicine, where she experienced firsthand the shift from victimhood to self-empowerment. Combined with Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), coaching, and trauma-informed approaches, Bianca dismantled limiting beliefs and released long-held emotional patterns. Today, she blends this lived transformation with science-based practices to support others on their own journeys of healing and growth. As the founder of Vine of the Soul Retreats, Bianca integrates psychology, hypnotherapy, and psychedelic-assisted work into holistic programs designed to reconnect individuals with meaning, resilience, and joy. Known for her mix of professional clarity and deep compassion, she creates safe spaces where participants feel both supported and empowered to take their own steps toward freedom and fulfillment.

Details of this retreat

Flexible Plant Medicine Retreat (5 days / 4 nights) – an English- and German-speaking, small-cohort (max. 8 guests) retreat designed for UK, DACH, and international guests who want a clear, structured container with a strong integration arc.

This is a Western-style, high-touch retreat that combines grounded daily practices (breathwork, meditation, daily circles, and creative/art integration) with optional plant medicines chosen intentionally based on your intention, readiness, and personal background. Minimum two ceremonies; most guests choose around three, and you can add additional ceremonies or take rest days for nervous system pacing and integration.

Preparation and safety are built in: you start with a 1:1 screening/intro call, then a group prep call and WhatsApp group to reduce “first-day nervous system shock” and create continuity before you arrive. During the retreat, the container includes an arrival orientation talk, daily sharing circles, and 1:1 intention setting/grounding before the first ceremony.

Integration continues after you leave: you receive a post-retreat group call, ongoing community continuity, and one 1:1 follow-up call (up to two months after the retreat). Support is strengthened through an AI-powered integration app (built on the BioPsyche Renewal Protocol) with 1–5 minute micro-practices, grounding tools, reflective prompts, and integration structure available before, during, and after—especially when real life hits immediately post-retreat.

Location and logistics: the retreat takes place in the Algarve, about 35 minutes from Faro Airport, with accommodation options including shared rooms, glamping/caravan, and limited single ensuite upgrades. The environment prioritizes privacy, calm, and discretion over “look-at-me” retreat culture.
