Kathrin Schmack at Tierra Santa Reconnect

The founder

Kathrin Schmack

Interior architect, Feng Shui Master, author and founder. For 25 years, Kathrin has worked with the subtle frequencies of space — and with the question of how places can remind people of their own inner order. Tierra Santa Reconnect is the built expression of that path.

A path beyond the visible

From shaping spaces to changing consciousness.

Kathrin's path began in architecture — in a world that measured value in what could be built, owned and seen. Yet early on, she sensed that a room is more than matter. It holds memory, directs energy and influences how we think, feel and live. Classical Feng Shui gave precision to this perception: for 25 years she has worked with the living frequencies of space.

This spiritual view of architecture gradually brought the foundations of the materialist, patriarchal system into question. Kathrin no longer wanted to create within structures that separated reason from intuition, people from nature and healing from everyday life. She stepped out of the old order — not to turn away from the world, but to make room for another one.

On the Osa Peninsula, that decision became Tierra Santa. Here, rainforest, architecture and ancient knowledge meet in a place designed to raise awareness and make genuine transformation possible. Kathrin understands Tierra Santa as a threshold into a new frequency — an invitation to release old imprints, return to one's own truth and become ready for the New Earth.

“I did not leave the old system to escape the world. I left it to help create a new one.”

The masters who shaped the path

01

Father Johannes Kopp

The Pallottine priest and Zen master, a student of Hugo M. Enomiya-Lassalle, opened a path in which Christian contemplation and Zen practice could meet without contradiction. His teaching rooted Kathrin's understanding of silence, presence and inner transformation.

02

Grand Master Yap Cheng Hai

Through one of the most respected teachers of classical Feng Shui, Kathrin entered a precise lineage of Taoist spatial knowledge. Years of study and certification shaped her ability to read orientation, time, form and movement as one connected system. His life motto — “Save Our Children’s Future” — became her own: all healing, at its heart, is reconnection — so children can grow up in peace, as children of love. Kathrin has witnessed this effect for 25 years in her consultations.

03

Prof. Edith Zundel

One of the great teachers on Kathrin's path: over 25 years ago she learned the art of the shamanic dream journey with her and gained deep insight into the transpersonal way. Zundel, too, is a Dragon in the Chinese horoscope — carrying the same Gua number as Kathrin, a connection both understood as a sign. She opened Kathrin's access to the primordial, pre-Christian femininity of the West — the pre-patriarchal knowing that women themselves are portals, far more powerful than they were made to believe for millennia. This foundation carried Kathrin's work for many years.
