Breathwork is an engaging practice that uses the power of your breathing to shape your mental, emotional, and physical experiences.

In this retreat, you'll delve into diverse Breathwork methods, each tailored to elicit specific sensations and responses, guiding you from serene tranquility to enhanced focus and vitality.

This immersive approach doesn't just reveal the transformative potential of controlled breathing; it also arms you with the techniques to weave Breathwork into your everyday existence, paving the way for lasting change.

As you journey through these practices, you'll plunge into a state of blissful consciousness, unveiling deep, profound shifts with every breath you take.

Somatic Healing: 

In our retreat, you’ll engage in powerful somatic techniques designed to release physical and emotional tension, helping you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and fostering deep healing. This process is not only about mental understanding but about feeling and embodying the shifts you desire.

The essence of this work lies in awakening your inner power and energy—liberating your authentic self and empowering you to move through life with more vitality, clarity, and emotional balance. It’s a journey of self-discovery, where you learn to honor your body, heal past wounds, and cultivate harmony in your relationships with yourself and the world around you.

This is an opportunity to nurture your inner fire, reclaim your personal strength, and embrace a life of intimacy, connection, and transformation.

Lara Sophie-Petter

I come from a completely different past. I'm an ex-cop who spent years numbing my body through extreme bodybuilding, eating disorders, and a deep need for control.

At that time, I was unaware of the situation, disconnected from my body, my boundaries, and my inner voice—until my journey back to myself began.

What started as a physical yoga practice quickly evolved into a profound dedication to healing and elevating human consciousness.

I am the founder of the Soulshine Space, where I focus on somatic and trauma therapy, multi-day retreats, and now our first transformative e-book, Back to Self.

I'm truly looking forward to this journey together. Let’s explore our inner landscapes—beyond the surface.
