My name is Dr Sarah Bögle, and I am a London-based German psychologist, meditation teacher and shamanic practitioner. Psychospiritual inquiry and meditation have been important parts of my life and personal evolution for many years. The poet Kabir said, ‘I felt in need of a great pilgrimage, so I sat still for three days’. Similarly, I have travelled into the depth of my own being through intensive immersion in meditation, introspection, psychotherapy and shamanic healing. Longing for vitality, autonomy and a genuine sense of home, I turned inwards and reclaimed my true nature. This has been the most rewarding journey I have ever embarked upon. Coming home to myself and being able to live my life more fully and authentically from a place of embodied self-love has been the greatest privilege of my life. My love for shamanic healing, psychospiritual work and meditation has deepened ever since, and I am passionate about supporting others on their journey home – home to themselves, the world and other people. It would be my honour to support you in reconnecting with your magnificently beautiful, ever-perfect, ever-evolving self. You are worthy of your own becoming.
