Virginie

Virginie is the founder of Casa Oraya and facilitates intimate retreats centred on plant medicine, presence, body awareness and human connection.

Her role begins before the retreat through an individual conversation with each participant, allowing her to understand their intentions, previous experiences, health situation and any particular needs. During the retreat, she supports each person with attentive presence, individual guidance, sharing circles, grounding practices and integration workshops.

Virginie does not impose interpretations or promise a particular outcome. She encourages participants to remain close to their sensations, emotions and bodily responses, allowing meaning to emerge gradually and in its own time.

After the ceremonies, she offers practical tools to help participants integrate their experience into everyday life. When additional therapeutic or psychoanalytic support may be beneficial, she encourages them to continue with an appropriately qualified professional.

Her intention is to create a warm, honest and carefully held space where people can slow down, listen and approach their experience with respect.
