Margaretha Doderer

I have been walking a shamanic path as an apprentice since 2003, integrating traditional wisdom with modern approaches to healing and presence.

My professional roots are in social work: I have been supporting adolescents and adults with complex life paths and trauma since 2000. For 12 years, I was the educational director of a large social institute, and for 8 years I led my own holistic counseling school, offering training in embodied, soul-centered guidance.

Over the past 15 years, I have facilitated leadership and communication seminars, and I bring a strong background in mindfulness, trauma-informed practice, and nature-based somatic work. I am a certified TCM practitioner, a Nature Counselor, and a mindfulness trainer.

I am also a mother and a lifelong learner. Since 2022, I live and host retreats in Passalmonte, a simple, living community space near Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, together with my beloved life partner, who follows the Sufi path.

I am committed to holding spaces that are honest, grounded, trauma-sensitive and alive – where people can return to themselves and remember what matters.
