The Journey Within is a mystical path, a quest for self-discovery and inner transformation. A pilgrimage of the soul, it offers a transformative experience in the heart of the Mediterranean, where new worlds are discovered.
Founded and curated by Sofia Sanchez de Betak, The Journey Within takes you on a journey of healing, guided by the principles of ancestral medicine and shamanic wisdom. It is a journey into the depths of consciousness, where you can explore the mysteries of your soul, and connect with the natural world around you.
These curated retreats offer a sanctuary for your mind, body, and spirit, where you can immerse yourself in a range of healing therapies, including plant medicine ceremonies, breath-work, yoga and meditation practices, sound baths and therapeutic treatments. You will be guided by experienced facilitators who are trained in traditional healing practices.
The Journey Within offers a safe and luxurious space for you to explore your inner world and deepen your connection with yourself and the natural world. It is an opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded individuals, to share in the power of healing and transformation, and to emerge renewed and fulfilled.
About us
Hello,
My name is Sofia Sanchez de Betak, but people call me Chufy. I grew up in Buenos Aires where my
parents were involved in the tourism industry, but
I was always more drawn to design and fashion. I've spent most of my life between NYC and Paris, but
I recently moved to the mountains in Mallorca to
provide a more balanced and natural environment for my daughter to grow up in.
Over the last decade, I have explored the therapeutic and medicinal properties of plant medicine and firmly believe in its power to transform the world. However,
I recognize that the journey of self-exploration and
personal growth can be daunting and overwhelming. Therefore, I began to privately curate intimate retreats for friends and family in beautiful settings, which yielded exceptional healing and transformative experiences.
Inspired by this success, I joined forces with like-minded professionals to launch my own retreat venture, which has proven to be one of the most spiritually fulfilling experiences of my life. Drawing on my background in travel, design, events, and spirituality, I have assembled a team of extraordinary healers to guide us on our journey towards self-discovery and self-love.
In light of the environmental disaster and mental health challenges facing our communities, I am
convinced that gathering people into small, close-knit groups to examine our relationship with ourselves and the broader world could spark a chain reaction of
positive change that illuminates our entire existence.
I truly hope you will join me soon on our retreats.
Warmly,
Sofia

“For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length, and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly."

True teachers use themselvers as bridges over wich they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.
