SOPHIE NEVILL, {She/her}
Founder
Sophie is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Musician and Writer. Her main work is helping her clients to truly experience the infinite timeless Peace of their Being beneath the narrative of the conditioned ‘mind’. And to then bring this unconditional Love ‘down’ into every aspect their humanity, through all ‘times, space and dimensions’, so that all that has become distorted, can be healed, integrated and welcomed Home.
Sophie believes a new more embodied, 'Feminine' approach to Awakening is being called for on the planet. One that women are inherently the way-showers of. A spirituality that does not seek to ‘transcend’ or escape life, but instead seeks to meet life ever-more Fully.
And for her, this is the ‘Path of the Rose’ - the path of Unconditional Love, the path of Descent, the path of the Divine Mother and the path of Self-mastery. A mystical lineage of embodied Love that has existed for Millenia and is now being called to be re-membered on a grand scale. A path that fearlessly embraces and honours all of Life by understanding and wholly re-membering that God is both within and beyond all things and You are that.

“It is only when matter, the body and nature (i.e. the Feminine) are remembered as Sacred, that all of Life can start to come back into balance again” (Sophie Nevill)
GABRIELLA
Project Manager
Gabriella is a meditation teacher, author, astrologer, and nature advocate from London. For over a decade, her work with clients through meditation, astrology, and workshops has given her a deep understanding of human relationships, not only how we connect with others, but how we learn, again and again, to return to ourselves.
Her work is quietly rooted in the path of the feminine mysteries — the understanding that growth unfolds in cycles of descent and renewal, much like the phases of Venus and the slow unfurling of the rose over 8 years. Through hundreds of one-to-one sessions and group experiences, Gabriella has witnessed how astrology can act as a mirror for the soul, illuminating patterns of love, loss, longing, and rebirth. She sees astrology not as fate, but as a compassionate language — one that helps us honour our seasons, soften self-judgement, and cultivate emotional resilience and self-devotion, especially during the thresholds of change and times of transition.
Gabriella’s love affair with the natural world has led her to study sylvotherapy more recently, deepening her belief that healing happens when we remember our belonging — to the earth, to our bodies, and to the natural cycles that shape both. At the heart of her work is a gentle invitation: to live in rhythm, to trust the intelligence of our own unfolding.
LAYLA MAY
Head of Decor
Layla creates light encoded sacred feminine jewellery. Most recently the Rose has been the central focus of her creations. Bringing through the frequencies and codes of the divine feminine, the lineage of the Rose and the overlighting energy of venus. The divine feminine has been at the core of all her spiritual practices and rememberings.
She has also trained as a Soul reader, energy healer and channeler and holds sessions that are both deeply loving and transformational.
One of her main pathways so far to remembrance has been through nature. The unseen realms of nature including the elemental realms began speaking to her and teaching her about the nature of creation and life on Earth. Layla is now a spiritual mentor using the pathway of nature to support people to feel part of creation and feel the divine in themselves and the world around them.
MARIA PAYNE VLAHOGIANNIS
Marketing
All round creatrix: mother, vocal coach, musician, artist, creative digital marketing, energy dancer and bio energy practitioner.
Maria Margarita was born with the calling of Mother Mary seeking higher guidance for the greater good her whole life and a reconnection to the divine feminine within. Born with the mission of reconnecting to source and higher purpose, a seeker of truth, justice, love and service. She has been on a great adventurous journey spanning over 20 years in theatre, music industry, spiritual ashram training with a master, events and creative digital marketing. She developed into a singer songwriter and musician, which is what led her in later years into events management, artist launch support and retraining in professional creative digital marketing. This led to the launching in 2019 of her own freelance business called Creative Source Digital Services (highlight - https://www.creativesourcedigitalservices.com).
An experienced creatrix and now a new mother at 42! Much to her surprise. Starting off in the creative arts (dance, song and acting) she travelled Europe and as far as Canada and Bali. She met her partner through meditation and established the heart centred music duo Scott & Maria. For 15 years she discovered and trained with a genuine energy master who helped her cultivate the tools she needed to heal and anchor more light for her healing and throughout all her work and in the community. Since her kundalini break through and awakening all her services provide a channeled holistic touch in service to universal source. It also led her to developing and combining her spiritual healing work with her singing experience. Unable to ignore the signs over a period of 5 years she surrendered to the calling by many to share her holistic soul voice training called Embodied Vocal Coaching. She offers 1:1 and in group workshops. Her work with mother earth cultivating her relationship with Gaia energy and light grid anchoring developed a new level of alliance in the recent 4 years with the rose plant and spirit. She came to her in preparation for her motherhood transition in many forms and guided her to meeting the women of the Heart of the Rose festival.
