Anaiya Sophia is a Writer, Minister, Somatic Practitioner, Whisperer of Sacred Wisdom and Shepherdess. Her highly acclaimed books, courses, transmissions, retreats, and workshops focus on the unearthing of the sacred body, from within the light of the soul, and thereby embodying its somatic wisdom. These days, she ministers through the body, bringing people the experience of Wisdom rather than the understanding of it. That way, they know it for themselves and do not require or need recognition from any other source. She has an intimate relationship with the land, especially the French Pyrenees, Egypt, and Ireland. All her work – writing, transmitting, somatic movement, storytelling, and teaching – springs from an irresistible communion with the land, and especially her goats. Every day without fail, she shepherds her goats into the mountains and valleys, which is rooted in as much as the myths and stories of the place as it is in a detailed knowledge of the physical and historical environment. She has just completed working on Mary Magdalene's Audio Guide to the South of France, an evocative and expressive partnering with the mythic imagination and the land itself, and is currently finalising her latest book, The Grail King. Anaiya leads workshops and trainings in Sacred Body Awakening and Sacred Body Deepening throughout Europe and North America. Throughout the summer she is mostly at home with her husband and mother in the mountains where they have taken on an almighty project – the restoration of an old Catholic summer house for children into the White Rose Mystery School, complete with chapel, Bed and Breakfast, Vegan café, Apothecary of Body Rituals and Animal Sanctuary. They produce a large proportion of their food, keeping goats, sheep, pigs, and an assortment of poultry; in a large thriving permaculture garden/food forest. That long, hard work, which requires her to be outside in all weathers tending to other living things, as well as a continuing daily need for long walks to explore old, forgotten Cathar paths, caves, and mountains, has blessed her with a deep and nourishing sense of connectedness to the spirit of the place that she feels drawn to share with others. Her books include: • Open your Heart with Kundalini Yoga (Harper Collins, 2002) • Mini Size Me (Lulu, 2005) • Pilgrimage of Love (2010) • Womb Wisdom (Inner Traditions, 2011) • Sacred Sexual Union (Inner Traditions, 2013) • The Rose Knight. Part I: Sophia's Story (2014) • Sacred Relationships (Inner Traditions, 2015) • Fierce Feminine Rising (Inner Traditions, 2020) • Mary Magdalene's Audio Guide to the South of France (2023) • The Grail King. Part II: Logos' Story (2024) Anaiya lives in the Cathar region of Southern France with her husband and mother. Together they run Les Contes, a B & B at the base of Montsegur where individuals, families and large groups can come and stay. Les Contes is a truly extraordinary place with an astonishing healing presence and is often said to be a catalyst for making important decisions.
