How Soul, a Silent Retreat, was Born: After a surf injury in 2014, I started experiencing PTSD panic attacks in the water, underwater (diving), and on land on the way to the surf. It took years of understanding what I am experiencing and why, and trying different methods to liberate myself from these symptoms. In retrospect, I could also see how I started feeling lost, and fear was taking over larger parts of my life. On the first Vipassana course I ever took, my life changed upside down. Everything became crystal clear to me. I understood how my subconscious mind and body work, and what was happening to me when I was experiencing these panic attacks. Moreover, the meditation work I did on this course, along with an outstanding Cranio-Sacral session I received after the course from one of my teachers, freed me from the burden of PTSD and fear. I couldn’t believe it, but from that point on, I was not only able to live more freely, I was also not reacting to life the way I was before. I no longer experience these panic attacks. The most healing place for me is to be in the water, and if I identify layers of this conditioning and trauma, I have the tools to flow with the situation with ease and take ownership of my life. As this technique changed my life after practicing it thoroughly, I felt the call to pass it on to others. I curated carefully different modalities I practice and believe to be supportive for Vipassana Meditation, and decided to make it a small, intimate, and very nurturing environment. After the first retreat I hosted in 2022, I saw how powerful this combination is, and I had a deep understanding that this is my calling in this lifetime. I had a deep knowing of the 3 places I wanted to host these retreats around the world, while creating a special connection with the retreat space owners, staff, culture, and country. I offer a feminine approach to the traditional teachings of the Buddha, combining with a hands-on Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Sound Massage, learning to practice in stillness, movement, on a philosophical level, but most importantly on an experiential level, in a few of the most sacred and breathtaking places on earth.
