༄ Why did my soul chose to be here?

What can I contribute to the world in this point of time? In a world in which fear causes more and more separation and confusion? That's the question I asked myself two years ago. During a deep meditation I saw myself being part of a circle of people: moving, singing, laughing. Then I knew. This was my soul purpose. My mind asked me if it made any sense. My heart told me it made more than sense. By sharing music, movement and sounds with you I invite you to take place in the circle. A circle in which we are not afraid to dream. A circle in which we dare to connect with ourselves and others. A circle in which we observe and release our thoughts and emotions. A circle in which we express who we are and what we are made of: Love & Light.

Authenticity, for me, is honesty.
Surrendering to truth in work, in love, in life.

And it always starts with one place:
me.

Because in every situation, every relationship,
there is one presence that always shows up.

Authenticity begins with the body.
Mine once spoke through burnout.
I followed a path shaped by fear pleasing, meeting expectations, not wanting to disappoint.

Later, I learned something deeper.

Even when you follow your passion,
every choice still asks the same question:

Am I choosing from my heart or from fear?

The answer is never in the mind.
It lives in the body.

Do I feel constantly drained here?
Or supported in a flow of giving and receiving
able to meet my needs
and continue offering what I’m here to offer?

Authenticity is not about sacrifice.
It’s about alignment.
I didn’t leave the adapted, fear-led version of me behind, I integrated her.
Love and intelligence.
Heart and body.

✨ Reflection for you: what feels aligned in your body right now?

12/01/2026

The mind is clever.
It speaks in what ifs, shoulds, and maybe laters.

The body is different.
It’s direct. Honest. Immediate.
The body speaks truth
and that’s why it deserves to be listened to,
valued,
honored.

Embodied work is a remembering.
And the voice…
the voice is not separate from the body.
It is the body.
Breath, vibration, presence.
A gift we all carry.

This is why voice lives at the heart of SOMA SOL.
Not to perform
but to express.
Not to perfect
but to feel.

These are some of the moments that stay with me🥰

Shared movement.
Shared voice.
People arriving as they are, and meeting each other there.

Soma Sol keeps reminding me that intention doesn’t live in words alone it lives in how we move, how we listen, how we connect.

🗓 Next gathering: Saturday 24 January
📍 Jali, Silves

Happy New Year, tribe ✨

This new year arrived for me in a very particular way.
With the beginning of my moon cycle.
With a powerful full moon.
With the turning of the year itself.

It feels like a quiet sign of alignment.
Not something to explain or analyze
but something to feel.

I notice myself arriving
into 2026 softer.
More open.
More magnetic.
Less rushed by the mind.

And at the same time, I feel how this transition hasn’t been light or smooth for everyone.

For some of us, the new year didn’t start with fireworks
but with shedding.
With shadow.
With the body asking to be listened to.

So if you’re still in that in-between…
still feeling raw, tender, or confronted
I want to remind you of this:

Take a breath.
Come back into your body.
Let yourself feel what wants to be felt
even when it’s uncomfortable.

Because often, the very thing we try to avoid
is the doorway to our freedom.

What feels heavy, frightening, or stuck
is not here to punish you
it’s here to expand you.

When we stop running…
when we soften, surrender, and allow…
something ancient inside us remembers who we are.

May this year be less about becoming
and more about returning.

With love,
Efia 🤍

Golden Nuggets of 2025

As this year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with the golden nuggets that shaped me most in 2025.
the ones that landed in me deeply
and helped me
arrive more fully into myself.

There’s a groundedness I feel now.
An earthy depth.
As if, over this year,
I’ve landed more deeply
into my own body,
my own heart,
my own presence.

✨ One of the deepest nuggets came through my father who has passed.
As guidance.
A reminder that the greatest legacy we leave our children doesn’t live in the material.
It lives in doing our inner work.
In facing our shadows.
In meeting our triggers, patterns, and limiting beliefs
so they don’t get passed on unconsciously.
So we can navigate life, intimacy, and parenting with more awareness and presence.

✨ Another was the path of forgiveness
as an embodied process.
Seeing and owning all the roles we play:
the empath, the savior, the victim, the perpetrator.
Not judging them. Not bypassing them.
But accepting them fully.

I learned this:
Acceptance isn’t mental.
It’s embodied.
And the moment we truly accept,
we step out of victimhood.
Ownership sets us free.
From there, new choices become possible
real freedom.

✨ Then there was voice.
Giving voice to what we’re ashamed of.
To what we fear.
To what we feel in our body and nervous system.
To our limiting beliefs and to what excites us, moves us, inspires us.
Voice is not just expression.
Voice is manifestation.

✨ Finally: frequency.
Whenever fear appears,
the invitation is not to focus on the what,
but to return to the how.
The how is frequency.
And the frequency I choose to create from is love and beauty.
I’ve learned that when I create from this frequency
whatever emerges from it feels truthful.
Aligned.
Whole.

I’m sharing these reflections
as lived experiences that shaped me this year.
If any of this resonates,
or if it invites you to reflect on your golden nuggets of 2025,
feel free to share.

So we can support each other
as we step into a new year,
and continue this beautiful,
unfolding journey called life ✨🫶🏽

December 22

Today you are another year older
and I find myself in awe of who you are becoming.
Your taste in music.
Your humor.
Your way of reading people and situations.
The way you feel deeply, question honestly,
and meet the world in your own rhythm.

Guiding you is a privilege.
Learning from you is a gift.
And yes, sometimes we misunderstand each other.
Sometimes there is friction.
But I see those moments as invitations
for both of us to know ourselves better,
and to deepen a bond that remains steady, strong, and unconditional.

Happy birthday, my love.

Thank you for walking me home to wonder again and again✨💖

On December 1st, my friend Alicja opened her first exposition.
I was there, supporting her through music.
And somewhere in the middle of that moment
standing in the space, surrounded by her work
something suddenly landed in my body.

I’ve dreamt about this.

And there I was.
At her very first exposition.
Watching that dream take form in reality.

It was emotional
deeply felt.
One of those moments where time
folds in on itself.

Last night, that same theme returned in a dream of my own.
With a simple reminder:

Creation doesn’t ask us for certainty.
Not how as in control or outcome
but how as in frequency.
When what we offer comes from beauty and love,
it naturally knows where it belongs.

Grateful for the red threads that guide us
often revealing themselves right when we’re ready to see them.

✨ What frequency are you choosing right now?

Grateful for the thread connecting us🪐🎨

SOMA SOL returns.
A space where we move, soften, release… and remember ourselves again.

Before announcing the next edition, I want to honour the path that brought us here.

Thank you to everyone who showed up with an open heart;
your presence shaped the field more than you know🫶🏽
Thank you to my family, for supporting me in every seen and unseen moment.
Thank you a space that holds u warmly.
Thank you .design for adding extra magic🌿

And thank you , whose eye helped capture the soul of this experience so it can continue to ripple outward.

Let’s continue the ripple we began together expanding it into 2026🔥

Save the Date ~ January 24, 2026. I look forward to meet you there. 🌞✨

One of the most
meaningful encounters
of this year was
meeting Earthkeeper,
irmã das estrelas .kelly.sa
She welcomed me
into her circle
together with her partner with a sincerity
that felt like stepping into
a “new” true tribe.
The kind of presence
that reminds you what it feels like
to be met with an open heart🫶🏽

Have you ever felt that
a moment where
someone’s energy
softly expands your world?

Our meeting created that ripple.
New connections
began to unfold.
Women supporting women…
instead of competing.
A reminder to follow
what feels alive
without needing to know
where it leads.

Grace gifted me a sacred conch
that has stayed with me ever since
on my altar,
in my ceremonies,
in the sound journeys I guide.
It carries a vibration of belonging and remembrance 🐚🌿
That feeling
became one of the seeds for SOMA SOL,
and it continues to shape
how I gather with community.

This encounter brought me back
to a simple, grounding truth:
When something lights you up
from a genuine place, follow it.
The spark knows the way✨🤩

Maybe you’ve felt this too
that quiet inner pulse
that asks you to trust yourself
a little deeper?

As Oshun teaches, returning to who we truly are
softly, bravely, honestly
is medicine.
We are enough🔥

In a year that held many challenges, this moment felt like a breath of light.
I carry it with gratitude 🙏🏽 💖

📸 With appreciation to .tales who I synchronistically bumped into just before the event.
Thank you for capturing it so beautifully. I hope our paths cross again, for a moment, a picture, or something still unwritten🤩

Yesterday’s Sounds of Oshun carried a sweetness I’m still feeling today.
“Butter” someone expressed.
“Stellar” even.

What moved me most was one man who shared that he felt a calmness he had never experienced before.
He was deeply touched
and so was I.
It reminded me how much both men and women long for this softness…
how much we all need moments where vulnerability is not a risk,
but a relief.
Where softness doesn’t take away from our power,
but quietly strengthens it.

Oshun held us with her simple teaching:
Feel. Soften. Receive.

Sitting behind the bowls,
I felt the devotion.

This work, which feels like a calling continues to humble me.
Guiding people
guiding myself
back to the sweetness
of who we really are.

More temple spaces will open soon.
You’ll know if one is meant for you.

~

Thank you for opening your doors to nourishment, connection, and community, .
