Clara Sofia

My spiritual path is a search for freedom through personal development.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Clara Sofia. Very young I wondered about the human condition and my inner well-being. This quest has been at the center of my life’s web that I am still weaving today. A quest for truth that motivated me to study in the highest academic circles in order to understand our world and know how I can contribute to it in a positive way. With a master’s degree in International Relations and a MBA in Marketing & Communication Strategies, I became a specialist in Public Relations and Brand Development, skills that I have put to the service of advertising and branding agencies at the start of my career, followed by the Art and Music Industry and then in Well-Being and Ecology, to today create my own communication agency.

Originally Celtic from France and Amazigh from Kabylia, I grew up in Switzerland and traveled around the world since I was a baby. This must be the reason why I developed a passion for cultures and traditions very early on. This interest became obvious during a trip to Bali, Indonesia when I was 15. Enchanted by the mystism that reigned on this island, I wanted to become a Buddhist. So I read books and started meditation when I was 20.

At 26, life led me, after a few years of psychology to treat anorexia, to shamanism. There I found the key to my freedom, because learning is fast if you are ready to see. So I experienced my first shamanic ceremony with Ibowga from Gabon, then I continued my healing journey with Reiki and sacred geometry, coupled with learning through plants of power such as Ayahuesca.

A few years later, I organized ceremonies with shamans from Colombia and Peru as well as festivals and wellness workshops in my position as Marketing Director for an Eco Hotel in Berlin. Then I traveled to Colombia where I was initiated into the ancestral wisdoms mainly from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with Mamo Lorenzo Izquierdo of the Arhuacos people, also founder of the “Terunna Fundacion”. Initiated by these wise men and woman, on my return to Europe, I continued this work with Anjuna Saran Magdalena, creator of Soullightbeing, to free myself even more deeply.

Aware of the beneficial contribution of these spiritual healings to my well-being, I decided to train myself to share these tools with those like me who feel the need to grow in the light. This call also led me to the creation of this platform: Le Salon des Alchimistes.
