About The Facilitator
Amyra Mah, Deep Soulworker
I am a spiritual coach, addiction therapist, intuitive counsellor, psychospiritual alchemist and visionary writer. At the core, I am a Deep Soulworker. I am passionate about guiding you to find your personal power, spiritual meaning, and a profound sense of comfort within so that you can liberate your true, magnificent self.
As a child, I had experienced seeing that what existed in the physical world wasn’t the full story, and I was connected to the mysterious force that existed beneath it. But at some point during my childhood, I lost my connection to this force and began to feel trapped in a limited world. This put me on a lifelong path of finding liberation, where I was challenged to find ways of seeing beyond the physical reality – to find a way out of the illusion of imprisonment.
My road to rediscovering my personal power was long and arduous. Along the way, I struggled with depression. body image issues, eating disorders and drug addictions. Through this, I was tested many times to see beyond the apparent, instead of struggling purely on a superficial level to cope with my inner turmoils and becoming more entrenched in pain and suffering.
Frustrated with not finding a way out through conventional ways, I was driven to find my own source of knowledge. Eventually, my search for unusual sources of power led me to appreciating the dark and dreaded stuff we normally run away from as raw material to generate something positive and valuable.
Now I help people find unusual sources of power within them and transform their pain, struggles, blocks into personal power.
Where others see a block, a misalignment, a pain – I see potential power. Guiding people to retrieve their power from these apparent weaknesses so that they rise to their magnificence is what excites me.
Kenya is my spiritual home. During my first visit in 2007, I discovered a deep, sacred connection with the land here that kept calling out strongly to me over the years. It is here that I feel most at home, aligned, supported and alive. In 2015, I followed my calling to relocate to Kenya, and to make myself more available to be of service to the people and land here. I look forward to sharing the magic, beauty and profound spirituality of this country with you in our magical retreats.

Magical, exceptional. This is a powerful, transformative retreat that takes you deep into yourself, helping you to uncover key blocks, stresses etc. and immediately give you the process to clear them, and tools to continue to use after the retreat.
I love all aspects of the retreat. The programme is exceptionally well-structured and the groups small enough to allow every member/participant to benefit deeply – it never felt rushed or over-stretched. The location, the actual retreat venue, organisation and team were faultless. To me, this 4-day retreat was the perfect amount of time. I deeply appreciated that the 4 days are fully immersive and focus on the task at hand, ‘awakening to magic’.
Amyra is an amazing healer, who truly understands how to guide you to the places, experiences you need (rather than want) to heal and resolve.
You create a circle of like-minded friends whom you know will be there with you as you journey forward. It’s the best spiritual and healing programme I’ve ever done.
‘Awaken To Magic’ sets the stage for Life. One can’t go backwards after this retreat.

This retreat gave me a very grounding experience with myself and a very bonding experience with the group, in a safe environment, without judgements. The program was exciting and gave me lots of valuable insights. The location was beautiful, with nice private rooms and delicious healthy food. The whole retreat was beautifully set up and professionally run.
I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is ready to work in a different way. The whole experience was transformational.
