What if a single year could change the course of your life?
A traumatised past. A mysterious invitation. A journey that reawakens the soul.
Sofia’s life has fallen apart, leaving her lost and broken. But when an enigmatic Yoga school extends an invitation for a year-long journey of spiritual awakening, she sees a glimmer of hope. With nothing to lose, Sofia sets off on a path where she immerses herself in Yoga ashrams in India, connects with indigenous tribes in New Zealand, takes part in plant medicine ceremonies with Shamans in South America, and treks the Himalayas in search of a mythical civilisation. She could not have envisioned that this would reshape everything she believes about herself and the universe.
But this journey is more than just an outer adventure, it is a soul-stirring tale of inner transformation, self-discovery, and holistic healing. Guided by Yoga philosophy, indigenous wisdom, and the language of the heart, Sofia begins to unravel the patterns of trauma and conditioning that once defined her. Each encounter becomes a mirror, each challenge a teacher, as she learns to surrender, heal, and remember the wholeness that was never lost.
Blending visionary fiction with psychological depth and mystical insight, this novel bridges the worlds of Yoga, Tantra, Buddhism, Shamanism, and other esoteric traditions. Perfect for readers who appreciate the spiritual depth of The Alchemist, the adventure of The Celestine Prophecy, or the timeless wisdom of The Peaceful Warrior, Echoes of the Timeless speaks to anyone seeking meaning, awakening, and a renewed relationship with their inner light.
As Sofia’s metamorphosis unfolds, she immerses herself in meditation, mindfulness, and conscious living, and gradually discovers how to step out of depression and anxiety. Along the way, she meets teachers, mystics, healers, and seekers who guide her into expanded states of consciousness, alignment, presence, awareness, compassion, and unconditional love. Each encounter becomes a thought-provoking invitation to reflect on identity, purpose, wellbeing, and the inner freedom that arises when old conditioning begins to soften. This unveils a legendary journey of deep personal growth, mind-body-spirit connection, women’s empowerment, and soul remembrance, offering readers an provocative exploration of spirituality and self-development.
Don’t miss out on this inspirational story that invites the reader to look within, rediscover who they truly are, and reconnect with the timeless spark that guides every soul home.

Only a few times in my life I’ve not wanted to finish a book
Time spent with the characters has been enriching and witnessing and engaging with their wounds, and their learning of timeless love and wisdom and the importance of truthful relationships and so much more
The Celestine Prophesies was a fantasy book when I first read it. Little did I know how much it opened windows in my mind. When I re read it 10 years then 20 years later), I realised it indeed Prophesies what would become my everyday reality
I don’t compare the two books or stories, it’s the Impact on me that I’m comparing
I have a sense Echoes of the Timeless will keep reverberating for me
And it’s only in hindsight, that I will realise how changed I am, by the experience of reading and contemplating Echoes of the Timeless
It’s one of those rare books I will likely read again and again and pick up new things and news ways of seeing each time
I’m grateful I followed my impulse to read it
Echoes of the Timeless is one of the most profound books I have read. Deeply healing and transformative as I could feel so much wisdom and compassion from Sofia’s experience. Highly recommend.
Echoes of the Timeless was an epic story. What an adventure and how real it can be when we step into trust. I love books that give insights in how to live a magical life and prefer stories vs self-help and this story was so inspiring, so heartfelt, so real (maybe) and I felt I was on the journey too. I cried, I laughed and I realised how important it is to take courageous steps out of the norm into the unknown for so much joy and next level insights come. Thank you Catia for this beautifully written book coming from a deep wisdom that is rare.
“Echoes of the Timeless” leaves a profound mark through the passionate and inspiring way the author reveals the extraordinary ability of the human being to reinvent oneself, in this case through a dazzling spiritual metamorphosis. It is also a book that embraces and involves the reader, masterfully transporting us on an immersive inner journey.
In short, it is an invitation to reflect on emotion, exoticism, spirituality, and human psychology in a harmonious and captivating way. I would love to see it adapted to the big screen… who knows, one day…
Reading a book is rare for me these days, the ones that really stay with me are few: Orwell, Coelho, and The Peaceful Warrior… the kind of stories that give you a good slap of realization, the kind that lingers for life.
And now, thank you Catia, for bringing another one to my shelf.
I absolutely recommend it.
Magical, sublime, endearing, filled with wisdom and aventure.
A book that changes lives.
Highly recommend.
One of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. Shows us different cultures, belief systems, wisdom and ancient traditions from different people and countries. Excellent literary value. Loved it.
Sometimes life can feel challenging & you might be needing something to help you feel better. Reading this book was like pushing the reset button on a few unhelpful thoughts/habits. Perspective is everything & this book provides that in every way. It’s a really good reminder to trust that the path you are on is telling you something & perhaps you are not always ready to listen.
I folded over pages, took photos of quotes & called mates to pass on the gems I read along the way. I even bought this book for a friend & made another download it on Kindle so we could discuss our learnings. I have looked back at this book many times when I’m feeling out of sorts & it continues to remind me…that it will all be okay.
“If we can access the higher emotions & divine qualities of our being, we will no longer need our ego to compensate. In fact, while the ego starts off wanting to help, it ends up forming a major roadblock in accessing self, because we become so identified with the persona we created that we forget who we truely are.”
Honestly, this is hands down one of my all-time favourite books. You would be doing yourself a disservice to not read it!
Catia Batalha has written the most wonderful book that I have just had the joy of reading. It’s really unlike any other book I have ever read as it is a little autobiographical, a little fictional and quite educational too.
This book takes the reader on an extraordinary journey of awakening and transformation. As a result I feel transformed after reading it, somehow this beautiful, insightful writing has brought me into a deeper understanding of life, the universe and everything. It has shown me how we can see and feel EVERYTHING and still come from a place of pure love.
I am truly grateful to Catia for channeling/writing this book and I encourage others to read it. I think it will become a worldwide sensation!
What an exceptional book, I loved it! If you enjoy intense and passionate books, the kind that are impossible to stop reading, I highly recommend this one. Congratulations to the author👏🏼
I picked this up expecting “new age fluff.” What I got was raw honesty. Catia doesn’t romanticize the journey; she shows the sweat, the fear, the messiness of spiritual growth.
I’ve been backpacking across South America for two years now, and Sofia’s trek through Peru hit me hard. Her plant medicine scenes? Dead accurate. The vulnerability she shows that takes guts. Not my usual read, but I’m glad I stuck with it. It cracked something open in me.
I’ve spent my life tending to others healing wounds, easing pain but I forgot to tend to my own spirit. Echoes of the Timeless found me at the right moment. Sofia’s journey reminded me that healing isn’t just physical; it’s soul work.
As she moved through New Zealand and India, I could feel the quiet unraveling inside her and, strangely, inside me too. This book was less about yoga and rituals and more about coming home to oneself. It’s the kind of story that whispers, you can begin again, no matter your age.
