Alethia Anaiya Sophia
Guest Presenter - Journey to Southern France
Alethia is a Mystic, Minister and Author of Sacred Wisdom. Anaiya is a channel for the Order of the Dove, an endless body of Wisdom transmitting from the French Pyrenees. She once taught workshops throughout the world and was best known for the creation of Sacred Body Awakening.
Known for showing up as a trailblazing resource of unapologetic truth and transparent courage, her heart is both fierce and tender. Throughout her life, she has been an Author and Storyteller. The Pyrenees is a secret repository and library of timeless wisdom that has enraptured Anaiya's heart, soul and imagination as she faithfully followed her calling.
Over time she has developed an oral message that stirs the remembrance of a continuous lineage with the Feminine Principle that, throughout the centuries, has preserved its spiritual dignity without the need for permission or recognition from any other source. Her words can seem painfully familiar, probing and nudging against inner truths and injustices. She is here to deepen your spiritual journey and to offer a safe space whilst doing so. If you feel a calling toward a tradition strongly rooted in the presence of Mary Magdalene, the Holy Sophia and Christ, you will find a palpable vein of Truth surrounding her.
Peter van Deursen
Guest Presenter - Journey to Southern France
Peter and his wife, Anneke set up their French company, Barinca Travel & Tourism following years of being very active in the world of tourism. Peter was a tour guide, travelling through Europe for a big Dutch tour operator for over 18 years, and Anneke was a travel agent and writer of travel booklets.
Peter writes, “In 1998 we fell in love with Cathar Country; with the enigma of Rennes-le-Chateau, the story of the Cathars, the many castles and forts, the Pyrenees, the ancient abbeys, the medieval villages, the food and the people.”
Tragically Anneke lost her battle with cancer in July 2022. Anneke’s contribution to the exploration of Occitania was impactful and she is remembered fondly and missed by many. Personally we miss her very much, she was an incredible bright light and wonderful guide...
Peter carries the torch for their shared passion, to protect the Occitan culture, which is founded on the forgotten history of the area. Occitania is one of the richest cultural heritages of Europe but is hardly ever mentioned in the history books. Peter will be very happy to tell us about this amazing land of Occitania and its incredible history and secrets.
