Sophia and her Journey:
I grew up near a forest on the outskirts of Vienna, where nature, trees, and forest creatures were my first healing connection, my first experience of the vast unknown. This connection to nature and its mystical realms has been a thread linking all the various phases of my life. However, I had some big challenges to overcome before I could fully trust and work with these healing forces—or begin to help others do so..
My life as an adult began on the run.
After a series of painful and traumatizing experiences, I left my home country, Austria. I was only 16, and nowhere felt like home—especially not my body. On the surface, I was “making it” in the world. I got an MFA in Business Administration and started a successful company. And yet I felt empty like I was trying to walk in someone else's shoes.
Seeking to ground myself, I began the yoga practice that would become my medicine. And I decided to try the thing that excited and scared me most: acting. After considerable work and exploration, I achieved my dream of admission into the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City.
That’s where my healing journey really started. Method Acting is all about giving yourself fully to a character and thereby coming to understand the triggers of your own emotional life. The advice of my dear teacher Elisabeth Kemp, who reminded us to make anything we do an offering on stage, became the basis of how I guide embodiment practices.
Embodiment, like acting, involves allowing hidden parts of yourself to be fully revealed. After all that restless travel, I began my exploration of the unknown territory within as I gave my feelings my curiosity, my attention, and a stage. In opening my own subconscious, I began to develop deep compassion for all aspects of the human experience.
Power of Ritual
Elisabeth Kemp also led us into the power of ritual and reminded us to find our threads, the throughlines in our stories that make us feel connected. I turned once again to nature for my sense of connection. It’s the space where my perception shifts, the veil opens, and I tap into the unseen, the magical. Both as an actress and a person trying to find her way home, it was through my relation to the natural world that I gained my deepest insights of myself and the characters I embodied.
Pain Can Be Medicine, I was also mentored during that time by grandmother Shaman Kaariina Saarinen, who showed me that pain can be a medicine, helping me to find my priorities and life-path: leading as a woman with a fierce heart. I wrote my own short films and directed and produced them, achieving international acclaim. Valuing the women in my life more and more, I became part of the Box Collective, a women’s theater collective dedicated to creating and telling female-driven stories.
The peak experience in my life as an actor was playing the part of the archetypal “Woman” in Last Life—A Shakespeare Play, an exquisite and critically acclaimed show about a profound relationship cycle. This role showed me my own curiosity and led me to seek a deeper understanding of my sexuality.
At 33 I moved back to Vienna and delved into the world of Tantra. With this processing, I really began to understand my traumas, my fears, and my blockages. I worked through them in incredibly valuable containers like Tantra Women Training and with my personal mentor, Layla Laura Centorrino.
My conscious break from the acting and directing life coincided with the Covid pandemic, which was a time of profound regeneration and stock-taking for so many of us. While living in the Dominican Republic during this period, I felt deeply drawn to slowing down and honoring my feminine cycles. I started practicing and leading groups in womb yoga and breathwork. And, continuing the journey I began during my acting training, I sought to ground myself more fully in my body through my connection with nature.
Holding wild liberation through vulnerability and the feminine way was beautiful as I continued to develop proud in more masculine practices like Jivamukti Yoga. My subsequent relocation to Barcelona is where I went into even sharper focus on my spiritual and healing path.. I continued my studies in with Olga Oskurbina, studied trauma yoga with Radika, continued breathwork with David Elliot, tantra, and transformative work. I feel very lucky to have had some of the most incredible teachers and offer these gifts back into the world wherever I go.
I have found breathwork to be the most profound tool for working past limiting storylines.
To experience healing on the deepest and most subtle layers inside us. I am so grateful to be able to integrate this offering into the other practices and modalities I have learned.
Out of the many mosaic pieces of my life, patterns have emerged. I’ve learned important lessons about what it means to be human, to be a woman, and to feel at home in my body. I’ve discovered the power of vulnerability as the first step toward reclaiming essence and authenticity. I’ve explored love, forgiveness, and connection as forms of healing.
I love to guide you into wild liberation- through the power of vulnerability.

Sacred Practices and Rituals:
Each day, you’ll be guided through sacred practices — meditation and yoga, Tantra, breathwork, and rituals—all designed to help you reconnect to your body, your spirit, and the world around you. From morning meditation and yoga to afternoon ceremonies, and soft closing practices in the evening, every moment will invite you deeper into your own essence.
The breathtaking landscape of Playa Moron—where the ocean and jungle converge—will serve as the backdrop, reminding you that you are a part of something much greater, woven into the fabric of the earth itself. Let this retreat be a prayer to the earth and to the divine within you. Let it be your devotion, embodied.
-Yoga and Meditation
You will be guided through practices suitable for all levels, rooted in Jivamukti Yoga, with a strong focus on bhakti (devotional chanting), self-care, and somatics. Each daily session invites you to deepen into your body, cultivating awareness of the breath and movement from the inside out. These practices create a safe and supportive space where you can feel physically empowered, emotionally held, and spiritually aligned with your deepest intentions.
-Tantra and Sensuality
Tantra, like sex, is often misunderstood. Many of us carry conditioning about what sensuality should look like, and in doing so, we disconnect from our authentic selves. Shame and shadow can cloud our natural connection to our bodies, our pleasure, and our partners.
In this retreat, you will be guided to reconnect with your eros, your Kundalini, and your life force energy. Through simple, transformative practices, you’ll reclaim your sensual and erotic innocence, standing in your authentic power.
You will learn to be more present with yourself, cultivating sensitivity to your own pleasure, and perhaps even transform your love and intimacy. All practices are an invitation, and you will always be supported in honoring your boundaries, including saying no when needed.
Some practices include: dance, emotional release, massage, and goddess ceremonies—designed to help you reclaim your innate sensuality and power.
As women, we are the oracle, the blossoming force. Once we reclaim our power, we are capable of anything.
-Rituals and Ceremonies
Rituals and ceremonies are designed to shift your perspective and deepen your connection to both Mother Earth and your own sacred essence. They are purposeful and intentional, guiding you toward a greater understanding of your soul’s path.
These practices transcend the logical mind, inviting you to tap into the mysteries of the unseen and the magical. For me, rituals are a powerful way to celebrate, express, and connect to the pure healing energy of the earth and your deepest intentions.
Throughout the retreat, you will be guided to sacred spaces on the land, such as ancient caves, waterfalls, and a majestic grandmother tree. These powerful locations will help anchor your intentions and the wisdom you gain, creating a deep trust in the unfolding mysteries of life.
-Breathwork
Breathwork in this retreat is a sacred ceremony, guided shamanically to help you release deep-seated energetic patterns and emotions held in the body. These powerful sessions invite you to transform on a profound level, shifting patterns that no longer serve you.
Through breathwork, you’ll deepen your connection to yourself at a soul level. These ceremonies remind us that the most intimate relationship we have is with ourselves. You will embark on two transformative journeys: one focused on release and letting go, and the other designed to awaken your Kundalini—tapping into your life force energy and igniting your inner power.
-Benefits of attending the Devotion retreat:
* Reconnect with your sacred power of devotion
* Feel at home in your body
* Physically strengthened, emotionally held, spiritually aligned
* Reclaim your life force energy
* Awaken your sensuality and sensitivity
* Embody confidence and authenticity
* Feel wild and free in your own nature
* Live from your courageous heart
* Forge lifelong sisterhood
* Leave with tools for deepened self-love
For Sophia, Yoga is a sacred medicine that connects you to the earth and to your true self. What unfolds on the mat becomes a mirror—reflecting your inner landscape and offering valuable insight before stepping into more interactive practices. With every breath, every movement, you’ll be guided into a deeper connection with your consciousness and the great consciousness around you. Read More
