    Travelling

  • Description

    After a 20-year career in banking, I made a life-changing decision in 2019 to step away from everything that no longer aligned with my inner truth—my job, the city I lived in, and even certain relationships. This marked the beginning of a deep journey back to myself.

    For the past five years, I have been hosting transformational retreats in a serene, nature-based sanctuary that I created. It is a place where people come to reconnect with themselves, and it has been an honor to hold space for their healing and transformation. I operate the center during a seven-month season each year, and in the winter months I continue my own personal path, mostly exploring and experiencing South American shamanic traditions.

    Over the last two years, I have traveled extensively through Brazil and Peru, immersing myself in the wisdom of these lands. This year, I am continuing this journey.

    Having welcomed volunteers at my retreat for many years, I now feel called to offer myself in service. I am seeking opportunities to volunteer in places that resonate with my inner path—spaces where I can contribute, learn, and deepen my own process.

    With love and gratitude.

  • What else ...

    I have a deep interest in indigenous sacred music, and I play the guitar. I enjoy creating intuitive, improvisational melodies and would love to further develop myself in this area. Music holds great value for me as a form of expression, connection, and inner exploration.
