About Sofia Jain-Schlaepfer
​​
Sofia is a biologist turned mystic. An awakener of wild seeds; wild dreams in people and places. Wild as in without exile of the weeds, without taming voice, grief, rivers, without planting in rows. Wild as in lands unowned, but in which we are planted. Sofia tends to the living seed capsules of plants across the continent. Along the way she also replants people with knowledge of bird language, baskets, hide tanning, herbalism, ritual, dreamwork and other manners of being in collaboration with land. She tend to the wild seeds sleeping in people, helping remove the fences around voice, creativity, and full feeling. She paint portraits of peoples inner gifts, and our interrelationship with Wild Others; planting images in psyches that may grow us towards a more alive world. She tends to psyches through her mentoring/intuitive/counseling work, as she would tend to a landscape.
​
Sofia has a MSc in Biology, completed a 2 year long nature connection immersion with Wisdom of the Earth, has trained in many modalities of soul work (Dream Tending, Grief Ritual Leadership, IFS, Deep Imagery). She has been mentored through Animas Valley Institute, Helper’s Mentoring Society, Pacifica Graduate Institute, Laurence Cole, Francis Weller, Martin Prechtel, Rowena and Randy Jones.
