In her new centre in the beautiful Algarve region of Portugal, Solara has once again followed guidance to create a portal in order to attract Star-Soul Family together. Solara, her partner Gino & her soul-brother Itzak have lovingly restored an old farmhouse in a stunning hillside location with wonder-ful views. The energy in the valley is crystal clear - the perfect place to recharge and reconnect to your path of awakening.
