Lake Como, Italy
"Awareness & Abundance: The wisdom of receiving" Retreat | Sofi Pasxali | Lake Como, Italy
A 5-Day Embodied Journey
Overview
This is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you already are. Who are you beneath the roles, expectations, and accumulated stories? What does your body know that the mind has learned to silence? What is ready to be released so life can move again, clearly, gently, truthfully?
Hosts
Sofi Pasxali
Guided by Sofi Pasxali, this journey is rooted in lived wisdom and deep embodiment. After a life-altering spinal injury in her early twenties, Sofi chose inner listening over fear, discovering the healing intelligence of breath, meditation, and self-awareness.
With over 30 years of devotion, 50,000+ private and group sessions, and a holistic path as a Somatic Coach, meditation teacher, and breathwork facilitator, Sofi holds a space of safety, compassion, and truth. Her work is guided by universal laws of vibration, presence, and inner coherence—supporting gentle yet profound transformation.
“Your truth begins the moment you remember who you are.”
