༄ 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.

We all encounter blocks,
patterns that hold energy in place within our body, emotions, or mind.
They often arise from conditioning, trauma, or limiting beliefs that once helped us feel safe.

When we have the courage to meet these blocks, to listen instead of resist, we begin to free up self-energy,
the natural flow of calm, balance, and worthiness within 🌿

✨ Self-energy is an open, grounded state where we can choose instead of react,
create instead of control, and soothe instead of suppress.
From this space, life feels lighter. We return to the seat of the Self peaceful, confident, whole.

And this journey takes more than courage,
it takes patience, compassion, tenderness, and consistency. There’s no quick fix, only the slow unfolding of awareness.
It begins with acceptance, and continues with gentle, conscious action, again and again.

🌸 Reflection:
What helps you reconnect to your self-energy each day?
For me it’s…
voice & sound · breath & toning · somatic movement · time in nature · release through rhythm

Sometimes, the most beautiful things in life aren’t planned
they unfold through the ripples of joy we dare to follow.

Hosting and performing these past months at places like Zephyr Playa, during cacao ceremonies, and spontaneously at Boogie & Brunch ~ I felt how one spark of excitement can ripple through hearts, inspire connection, and invite others to create their own magic.

This is what SOMA SOL was born from: a ripple of joy, music, embodiment, and community.
A space to move, feel, connect, and celebrate life itself.

✨ SOMA SOL – Friday, November 15 | Silves
A barefoot gathering of cacao, voice, dance & shared presence.

There’s a softness that comes with allowing
to give, to receive, to be moved without needing to understand why.

The Gayatri mantra was the first mantra I ever sang.
At one point it brought me to tears,
without me knowing what it touched
as if the vibration pierced through a shield I didn’t even know I had 🗡️

I sang it again recently in a chapel
and someone told me that listening felt like traveling to another world.
Another said she was brought to tears, deeply moved.
That’s the beauty of energy when it’s embodied
it transmits without effort, it’s felt.

We don’t have to know the outcome or the reason.
When we allow ourselves to be present, to feel,
everything that stands between us and connection gently dissolves.

🎵 Gayatri Mantra
Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat

Blessings ✨🌿
pt Thank you for the invitation. I’ve been wanting to sing in this chapel for a while now ✨🙏🏽✨

We often talk about letting go
of control, fear, or what no longer serves.
What if we invite ourselves to explore something softer… allowing.

✨Do I allow myself to feel, to really feel the seed of my emotions?
✨To speak my truth and let my voice be heard?
✨To be autonomous, honoring my need for freedom and solitude?
✨To be soft, feminine, receptive creating space for the masculine to meet me?
✨To rest when my body asks for stillness, and move when it calls for flow?
✨To express grief, to face my shadows, to evolve with each season of my being?

🔥And… do I allow myself to celebrate the small steps,
those subtle moments of coming closer to my truth,
of choosing myself again and again?

Because every time I allow, I naturally let go.
No force. No push. Just permission.
A gentle remembering that growth doesn’t need to be hard.
It can be a soft return to who you already are 🤍

💫 What do you allow yourself to feel and experience?

📸 Filled with gratitude for the amazing shots and for inviting me again and again to pose at their one of a kind retreat 🙏🏽💖💫

On this path, my body keeps inviting me to listen more deeply. To sense what moves inside: sensations, emotions, energy, spirit 🌀

Because we are not just brains on legs. We are embodied essence. Expressions of the divine. Complex, unique, genius beings. ✨

The more we cultivate inner sensitivity, the fuller life becomes. The connection with ourselves and others grows richer. And even when we freeze, harden, or fall back on defenses, life offers invitations to soften, to remember what we truly are.

Every photo and video in this carousel carries a glimpse of that journey. And I feel deep gratitude for retreat organizers like and who trust us to offer sound journeys that help people travel inward.

It is courageous and beautiful to open a space, to meet people where they are, even when the mind wants to stay in control. Thank you for that trust. 🙏🏽✨💖

If these words resonate, share them, save them, or tag a friend who’s ready to feel more deeply. 🌿

Every first Tuesday of the month, something special unfolds here in Vale Fuzeiros. 🌿✨

The catalyst is an 80-year-old community member who only recently discovered the magic of mantras. He shared how the vibration of singing keeps him young, energised, and deeply touched in his heart. From his wish, a circle has blossomed,
with the support of our local community.

For me, mantra singing is like sound alchemy. Words repeated like a spell, carrying us beyond thought. They lift our energy, open our hearts, and remind us of the simple joy of raising our voices together. It is devotion, connection, and resonance, within ourselves and with each other.

If you feel the call, you are warmly welcome to join us. Our circle is open to all. Send me a DM and I’ll share the details for the next gathering. 🫶🏽

“Every session is different,” shared who has joined our sound journey many times. Even with the same practice, the energy shifts, new dynamics, new chemistry, always new,
always alive.

Isn’t that life itself? 🌿 Nothing ever stays the same. everything moves.

Challenges and invitations return, not to punish us, but to remind us to stay open.

In my personal life right now, my main theme is letting go and allowing: surrendering to impermanence, understanding that nothing ever stays the same. Nature, relationships, life, death… all flow in cycles. This movement invites us to detach, to accept,
to forgive, to be deeply present.

✨ Where in your life are you resisting impermanence and what would happen if you allowed it?

✨ How does the cycle you’re moving through invite you to know yourself more deeply?

✨ Returning to .playa fills me with deep gratitude 🙏🏽
It was here that I opened the summer season in connection and now, I return to close it, honoring the journey we’ve shared.

🌊 There’s something truly special about this place: the people, the ocean, the space itself. It feels so familiar, a return of the tribes.

💫 This weekend, we gather again. To close one cycle, and to open the next with fresh insights, new connections, and curiosity for what’s to come.

🔥Here’s to celebrating together, daring to be authentic, and stepping into a new season with open hearts. Will you join us? 🫶🏽
📸 I synchronistically bumped into Merel .tales who joined me and captured the summer opening so beautifully, allowing me to relive and share these moments with all of you.

Some truths are confronting, but necessary.

I’ve been on both sides of pain.
I’ve been hurt. but I’ve also caused hurt, especially where it cuts the deepest: in relationships with my loved ones, and sometimes, yes, with my child.

That’s the most confronting thing of all when you’re faced with the mirror of your own unawareness or misjudgment, reflected back by someone you love unconditionally.
And still… it’s also the most powerful invitation to grow.
To say: I see it. I feel it. And I’m sorry.
Not to erase what happened. Not to make it all okay.
But to say:
I acknowledge the pain you went through because of my ignorance, my blindness, my wrong choices.
And I thank you for the courage to give that truth back to me.

Because in that moment of radical honesty, something shifts.
It invites us closer to ourselves and to one another.
It lays the foundation for real trust, for real love.

These days, my path is calling me deeper into these themes:
💔 Taking responsibility
🪞 Radical honesty
💧 True forgiveness
🔍 Uncomfortable self-inquiry

Not because they’re easy. But because they’re essential.
There’s a part of me that knows… this is the time to face it.
To grow. To evolve.
To move from guilt and protection into presence, love, and authenticity.
Not just for myself but for everyone I meet.
📸 Thank you to who captured this moment.
A reminder of the love that shines through😍

To be true to yourself
takes a big dose of courage.

Courage to face the patterns you once believed would protect you
from harm, from rejection, from being misunderstood.

It takes strength
to untangle from beliefs that kept you safe,
but small.

Vulnerability
to go to the seed of your fear, your anger
and feel it.
Until your hands blister from gripping what you never dared to feel.

Detachment
to sound your truth
raw, intuitive, and free from judgment.

This is the path of remembrance.
This is what it means to truly know thyself.

If you’re in the process of coming home to your truth
you’re not alone.
I see you. I feel you 👁️
And I honour you becoming
what you already were to begin with🫶🏽✨🪶

🌀 What truth are you reclaiming?

This journey began in 2022 with a desire to create spaces for men & women to meet themselves—
to feel safe in their bodies,
to express what lives inside,
to move through emotions and beyond them,
to remember who they truly are.
To remember their essence.
To reconnect with the divine.
And bring that connection into daily life.

Standing here now, today, at the point of welcoming 15 women, a sacred team, and a heart full of memories… I feel nothing but wonder.

Because while it feels like I’ve just arrived in this land Portugal — this portal of deep inner growth—
I also see how much has happened.
How much has shifted, dissolved, grown.
The hellos. The goodbyes. The constant evolution.

And yet, everything born from love remains.
Present. Alive. Deeply felt.

And for that—I’m so grateful.

If you feel called to these kind of spaces, stay close.
More is coming.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀.
Each of us carries unique talents, gifts—a unique voice.

Leadership that flows from 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 and 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 is not here to overrule or dominate. Its essence is to be 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁, anchored in 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, open to growth, and in service to others.

When we remember who we truly are and understand why we’re here, we unlock our full potential. We stop fearing ourselves—and others. We become able to be silent and truly listen.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲｡ 𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁｡
𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘴𝘬:
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘮 𝘐? 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺?
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺?
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦—𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘯𝘰𝘸?

Spending time with yourself to explore these questions is not selfish.

The deeper we know ourselves, the more we give others the chance to know us—and to meet in truth.

This is how we connect. Create. Commune.
From love. From intelligence. From presence.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗜 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

What has been your biggest insight on your path of self-leadership? I’d love to hear in the comments❤️‍🔥
