Who is Vine of the Soul


The decision to open an Ayahuasca Retreat Center was pretty much a consequence of my own healing journey. Before Vine of the Soul, I used to be a software consultant. I realized, that I would like to share with the world that living a fulfilled life, your life, not that of others, is possible. Letting go of the trauma of the past is possible. Living a life of magic is possible. Yes, life has its ups and downs, but how we deal with them, makes all the difference.

A thought that in the beginning seemed scary, turned into a most amazing reality. I would like my story to be an inspiration for everyone who is ready to go their own path. Not many people have the courage to walk this path.To those who did and still do have the courage to walk with me, I am very grateful. We are on a continuous path of self-development and learning, to be able to offer you the best support possible.

In the selection of my team, what I am looking for first and foremost is truth: walking the talk. None of us is perfect, we don't pretend to have every answer. But what pulls us together are values like kindness, honesty, integrity, compassion and an immense love for people. We are all on a path of growth, while at the same time acknowledging that we are enough and always have been.

Founder of Vine of the Soul Retreats

I've always been interested in psychology, since I was a child. That didn't keep me from stepping into my mothers' footprints and falling into depression in my adult life. I also struggled with insomnia, psychosomatic backpain and felt miserable overall. Although successful in my career, I was terrible at relationships and had no boundaries. I felt I am a terrible mom.


Then I met Ayahuasca. She literally opened me up towards a new life. 


When I decided to help others by using these ancient remedies, I visited several retreats to gather experience. I learned all the dos and don’ts and those experiences helped me shape my own offer and values.


In my approach, I use elements of Rapid Transformational Therapy to help you understand yourself. 


I am fluent in English, German, Romanian and Hungarian.

Intuitive Healing

Eveline has had a strong sense of freedom and justice since childhood. 


But it wasn't until she was over 40, after a 4-year stay in Africa, that she understood that systemic change towards social justice can only happen if every individual is committed to our individual and collective healing.


She offers light channel therapy which focuses on a harmonious flow of light - ch'i or life force - in the body by releasing blockages in the meridians, the subtle energy channels so that body and soul can experience healing.


Eveline is fluent in German and English, and conversational in French and Spanish.

The Magician and The Cook

Growing up in a retreat center is... different. My twin boys became part of the retreats. They are bringing their contribution whenever they feel like it (there's no obligation). Our guests appreciate the magic shows offered in almost every retreat, just as much as they appreciate the Shakshuka breakfast.

Bianca, you are a superstar! I really enjoyed the hypnotherapy session. I felt safe and you helped me see how my trauma from past lives is affecting me know.

Thank you so much!

Alessandra, Italy


Bianca provided me with the support that I needed, everything was exactly as it needed to be.

She has unconditional support energy and is willing to go as deep as needed to heal your traumas and support you through your transition.


I was lucky enough to have my so many amazing people on the retreat with me and I am changed forever. I am forever grateful for all that she did for me. This place is amazing and if you are looking to get better, the hope is there, never give up! I am in a much better space and thriving in my life, something I thought is not available to me. Also the aftercare is second to none, I know I can always call or get in contact.


Thank you team!

Bianca has played a very important role in my healing journey.


She is a vessel of unconditionality and has been available for me in my darkest moments. She is highly knowledgeable and with this knowledge, appropriately challenges me to see outside of my conditioning and to guide me back to the light.

Thank you so much for all your help looking after me and being so patient with me, you truly are a wonderful person and I’m so glad to have met you.


I couldn’t have wished for a better person to guide me through my healing.

I really enjoyed all our conversations, you are so knowledgeable and you have opened my eyes to all the amazing things that life has to offer (even beyond what we can see!) and how to embrace them.


I hope that our paths will cross again in the future as I miss you already! (...)


All my love and best wishes to you, Fatima, the boys and the cats 🐈‍⬛ ❤️ xxxxx

I have met with Bianca on two Ayahuasca retreats before having her as a guide a few months later. 


In September 2021, we had an RTT session and discovered the cause of something playing a huge role in my life at that moment. 


In February 2022, Bianca guided me and a group for a weekend long retreat. There I felt safe and so deeply connected with her and the other participants, that we are still in close contact until today. 


Since then, I have met many more like-minded people and was able to redefine myself and my life purpose. I sincerely believe this all became possible because Bianca kept asking me "THE" questions, which in turn, helped open me up to new possibilities.


For anyone out there looking for a place to heal and overcome persistent life struggles, go visit Bianca!

I had 2 ceremonies with Bianca, one in August 2021 and one in March 2022.


I was able to see all the elements of my life which were holding me back. Although some of the things were difficult to accept, these experiences helped me take the right decisions for me and my kids and helped me deal with the anxiety that comes when making radical changes in ones life.


Bianca also did hypnosis on me, which helped me see how some of my childhood experiences shaped my life and behavior. Not being able to hold proper boundaries, came from how my family treated me. I am now much better able to say no and stand up for myself and my children.


For now I feel I don't need any more ceremonies, I feel I have completed what I needed to at this point.


Thank you Bianca!

A Truly Life Changing Experience

I was very nervous going to this retreat because I'd never done anything like it before and I was in a fragile place emotionally having just ended a 4 and a half year relationship.


First thing you must know is that you're in very safe experienced hands. From the moment we had our induction call I was cared for and supported by Bianca and Fatima. They were my guides, therapists, mothers, fathers, friends and facilitators. Everything I needed they supplied both physically and emotionally. I got so much out of the experience, more than I anticipated which is saying something because I had high expectations.


I will recommending this to everyone who I feel is ready. I feel like a new person or maybe just back to my old self with layers stripped off me. Layers that weighed me down. I'm now lighter and more free with a new spirit animal to guide me 🐺🌕.

I'm excited to try out the tools I learned while at the retreat.


I will return one day to this magical space, to see my wonderful friends again for more treatment when the time is right.

I feel very lucky - I didn’t struggle at all with my integration back to normality, post Ayahuasca experience. 


I was nervous and more than a little dubious after reading testimonials online and speaking to my retreat fellows, having heard that the integration back to society was quite hard; after having been shown what you need to see by Mother Ayahuasca, I was mentally prepared to be kicked in the ass when I got home and to find it hard to apply what I had learned to my life.


But it wasn’t. 


I was attending the retreat as I have had a very traumatic life and wanted to be shown how to heal myself from this. I was called to the ceremony but what honestly felt like the universe and there I met the most wonderful souls, one of which was Bianca. Bianca has started her journey to help others with RTT and she kindly offered to the group to share her teachings and to help us, if we wanted it… and I thought you know what, sod it. Yes please. I've travelled all this way to drink strange tree bark water, what’s a little hypnosis, right?! Well. Ayahuasca showed me how to heal, but with Bianca I saw what to heal. I had my first session with her and I was quite honestly undone. I was emotionally drained from Mother A, but this was a new depth of myself that I think I was still processing. She helped me access what I can honestly only describe as the poison from my past. It was brutal, intense and wonderfully liberating at the same time. 


By doing this in conjunction with Ayahuasca, I was honestly able to process and reflect on what I was shown in the ceremonies and I firmly believe it helped me release a lot of what has been holding me back. I’m sure I would have reached the same place eventually alone, but Bianca helped equip me with tools to do this… just faster. It is direct and hard and humbling but I knew if I kept listening to my recording, I was processing out the poison from my psyche. I could look at it objectively and show myself that it is ok to move on, I am worth more than my past and the visualizations within the recordings, I found incredibly helpful. I wasn’t just sat with the overwhelming feelings that had surfaced, I had a way to look at them objectively, remove them from myself and honestly start to release and to heal myself from what has happened to me. I have/had a myriad of health conditions, ranging from severe allergies, fibromyalgia, chronic regional pain syndrome and insomnia. Since doing this, in conjunction with the RTT… I sleep. My allergies have abated to the point they are hardly there and I am no longer taking any medication for my ‘conditions’. Neuroscientists tell us how our mind is plastic and doing RTT has really proven this for me.
