From Personal Healing to Global Awakening: The Story of Sara, Simba, & Mark
In 2017, Sara and Simba made a transformative decision to leave behind the conventional Western lifestyle of Sweden. Journeying to Thailand in pursuit of their own healing, they not only discovered a path to personal wellness but also recognized a shared potential to aid others.
This revelation led to the inception of ‘Living with The Spirit’, a sanctuary offering both retreats and online experiences to individuals worldwide.
By 2021, after an intensive 3-year healing journey under Sara and Simba’s mentorship, Mark integrated as a full-time resident at the retreat center.
Today, the trio of Sara, Simba, and Mark are on a mission to expand ‘Living with The Spirit’ further, aiming to play a pivotal role in the global awakening of consciousness.
Join the Community
Step into our community of conscious leaders, where we believe in forging lifelong bonds rather than transient engagements. At ‘Living with The Spirit’, every visit is an invitation to delve deeper, peeling back layers of self with each encounter.
While you might come once, we find that people come back to us for recurring journeys of introspection.
As you connect with individuals from all corners of the globe, you’re not just making acquaintances; you’re building a resilient network of game-changers, global pioneers, and visionary leaders.
How we do it at Living with The Spirit
Drawing from our personal growth over many years, we have devised a unique approach that supports you in honing your intuitive skills, enabling the self-healing capabilities of your body to operate at full capacity.
Our distinct method borrows from both Eastern and Western philosophies, recognizing the inherent potential and strength in every individual. We believe that the true power resides within each person and, when carefully fostered and cultivated, it can lead to profound transformation.
Autonomic Nervous System Regulation
The foundation of healing revolves around stabilizing and anchoring the autonomic nervous system. Our retreat environment and setup is specially designed to foster safety, grounding, and nourishment. By regulating your autonomic nervous system and restoring a sense of safety within your body, you open doors to new perspectives on life and healing.
Physical Detoxification
The bodily detoxification serves as the central and catalytic component of our journey. You will be provided with a personalized detoxification plan that aligns with your intentions, goals, and anticipated outcomes. This physical detox will do more than just reset your body; it will expedite your healing process and enable you to delve deeper into the intricacies of your circumstances.
Emotional Detoxification
As the body stimulates its inherent healing systems, it will instinctively surface anything that is no longer serving its purpose, giving you the opportunity to process and release it. This journey enables you to delve as deeply as you deem necessary, facilitating the letting go of outdated patterns, behaviors, obstacles, and unprocessed occurrences and feelings.
Spiritual Detoxification
Reaching the pinnacle of the detoxification process, you will start uncovering the genuine obstacles preventing you from embracing the life you’ve always envisioned. This journey will illuminate your internal barriers, revealing a facet of life you never imagined was attainable.
This transformation unfolds organically as the body undergoes other detoxification stages, clearing the path for your spiritual connections to flourish, unencumbered by physical and emotional toxins.
Profound Space Holding & Guidance
While you traverse your tailored healing journey, we will remain by your side, creating the supportive environment necessary for you to discover facets of yourself that may have been hidden. You’ll be gently guided, nurtured, and reflected upon, fostering your growth and transformation into the blooming lotus you’re destined to become.
