Sacred Tantric Breath – Love’s Breath and Breath of Bliss

Who is this Retreat for?

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a powerful practice for deep transformation and healing. It is guided and held in a safe feminine container, a temple space to feel all that is being suppressed out of fear, allowing the emotions to flow, letting go and surrendering to the breath.  This is a conscious inner journey to transmute whatever arises in the blocked memory cells — beliefs, traumas, feelings of sexual shame and guilt — all to be brought home to Truth, to the Heart, through Compassion and Love.

Tantra breathwork, Love’s Breath, consciously flows between your sacral area and your  heart, igniting and expanding your sensual sexual body, and connecting each breath of Love with the Divine.

Empowering your life-force energy, Tantra breath supports you in feeling energised and free to manifest your sacred desires.

Similarly, Breath of Bliss connects you to the Divine that is within you, to your creativity, your limitless potential, and the purity of your heart.

The Power of Breathwork

On the retreat, we will be offering daily practices of breathwork, which is known to:

• Release anxiety, stress and trauma
• Clear blocked energies in the body
• Restore balance, harmony and peace of mind
• Support you in feeling energised, motivated and capable of manifesting your dreams.
• Connect with your Divine Self and Source of Love.

You will leave this retreat fully empowered and embodying your true and unique feminine essence; feeling deeply connected to your Yoni and your Womb and their manifestation magical powers; with a stronger connection to Isis and Mary Magdalene and full of pure love for yourself.

Sophia Magdalena

Sophia Magdalena – Way of Mastery Breath Therapist and Teacher. Healer and Priestess. Facilitates Sacred Sexuality Workshops and Retreats. Consultations and Private Sessions.

Sophia has devoted herself to the clearing and cleansing of conditioned beliefs, empowering both the Feminine and Masculine in connecting consciously in Union, in trust in intimacy, in returning to the sacredness of our true Divine Essence.

Her desire in awakening love is to create new paradigms of love, intimacy and loving relationships, and peace in the world. In the 70’s she lived in San Francisco where she became fully involved in the alternative healing practices and the Feminist movement which greatly inspired her.

She later met the Way of Mastery teacher and spiritual community in Bali, and through her own healing journey she mastered the channelled teachings and healing practices that she now shares in her Awakening Love sessions and workshops.

She has facilitated many women’s Awakening the Sacred Feminine retreats and Rebirthing workshops in Europe and Bali and now takes groups to Bali. She combines the practices of tantric breathwork with clearing limiting beliefs energetically, so that repressed emotions and sexual trauma can be released fully transmuting fear to love and connecting with Truth, the Divine Source of Love, and Oneness.

From 2023, Sophia has been leading Pilgrimages in France to the Sacred Mary Magdalene Sanctuaries and Caves, sharing the Mary Magdalene gospel teachings and ancient practices of the initiations of the Priestess, in Egypt, of Isis as part of the Pilgrimage

Apart from offering her own transformative breathwork sessions, Sophia has been invited to take part in many International breathwork events and festivals to give both private Awakening Love sessions as well as to lead Love’s Breath, Awakening Divine Love Workshops..

As an international facilitator and healer she offers private sessions, workshops and retreats.

Some Feedback for Sophia Magdalena

“I am writing to say thank you for holding us in love and guiding the Love’s Breath group. This evening I did the fourth session again and it was totally different for me. At the beginning I got forgiveness and compassion coming in around some painful memories as a teenager. I held myself from that time with forgiveness and compassion and it totally healed the problem. I felt as if it were the Divine Mother within me who did the healing. This Divine Mother within me as part of the Great Mother goddess then healed other things from my teenage years. I have never accessed the Divine Mother within me before so it was like a major blessing. I feel much more forgiving in myself now. So thank you so much Sophia for all your support and amazing work with us – the pilgrimage and the breath work have been totally transformative.”  Michelle Allsopp, UK

“Through radical inquiry, I was able to let go of past painful experiences and discover my inner truth: I have great strength and beauty as a woman. The more I have shown my feminine side, the happier I have become, and the more confident I am, the more attractive I feel. I have done a 2 month detox, I have started exercising, my love for dancing has returned and I surround myself by good company. Most importantly, I now treat myself and my body as a good friend.”  Anon

“Sophia Magdalena radiates light and love and she has the amazing gift of allowing whatever needs to be healed to come to the surface – without judgement or expectation. Her divine energy and compassion is carried throughout the workshop and I have seen great kindness and patience in the times I have met up with her since. I find her wisdom to be inspiring and her acceptance humbling.” Anon

“I went in a caterpillar and came out a butterfly, would accurately describe my experience. The caterpillar is limited in its movement and point of view. The butterfly has shape-shifted from inside out, into its full beauty. The changes have enabled i to view the world from a different perspective. There is no going back, I’ve gained an inner confidence, universal connection, beautiful perspective, new friendships, inspirations to chase and an abundance of love in my heart!” Trina, Portland

Testimonials for Ariane

“Ariane holds the space in such a wonderful way and her gentle approach is like nothing I have experienced. She can read the room with something I can only describe as a sixth sense and is always there at the right moment. My experience and healing were powerful and blissful beyond words and I can only highly recommend her services.” Julia, Portugal 

“I decided to try breathwork after feeling a bit stuck in my life, very burnt out inside and outside of work. I had been trying to make some changes in my life and kept feeling that something was pulling or holding me back. I had tried lots of different things over the years including types of yoga, mindfulness, psychotherapy but nothing really clicked for me like breathwork. From my first session with Ariane I found a space to connect with myself instead of just going through the motions, it’s allowed me to connect to and release some past pain that I hadn’t realised I was still carrying and has made a real impact on my day to day life.” Amy, UK 

“I thoroughly looked forward to my breathwork sessions with Ariane; finding this space relaxing and tranquil. It was during these sessions that I found a new sense of complete freedom and stillness within my mind and body; a technique I continue to practice today to help ground myself and allow my emotions to flow through me, instead of consuming me.” Kerry, UK

“Through Ariane’s guidance, I manage to start working on my health and dealing with my stressors and every breathwork session we do leaves me feeling more alive, and more in tune with my soul. Ariane has empowered me to overhaul my entire life for the better and have never felt more motivated and focused.” Samantha, UK 

“Thank you Ariane for serving me and helping me to release blocks holding me tight. It was an intense and amazing experience working with you. I felt in a different world and had an incredible journey. I love the way you hold the space for another person and pour your love with your beautiful energy and intention of healing. If anyone is feeling some resistance or some emotional blocks, I would highly recommend Ariane’s breathing work. She has an incredible gift of healing people.Thank you for your work and for your presence.” Shalini, Australia 

“Dear Ariane, thank you so much for this amazing experience to work with you! I don’t feel the pain anymore in my throat when I breathe…And that is amazing, as I had it for years. I came to you to work on expressing my emotions in a safe way for myself and others around me. I was afraid that I’d hurt others, whenever I show my true emotions. During the session I realised that I cannot even take a proper breath…I’m holding so much in. Thanks to your guidance and safety that you build during a session, I could let some of it out. And I felt so much more in peace with myself. Please, keep doing it, as it will change so many people’s lives!” Ania, Spain
