Irina,
Thank you so much for the “Island” retreat. I truly enjoyed the yoga, the meditations, the interactions with everyone—and of course, the silence. I came to the retreat with one intention: to restore balance. And I did. Balance between my inner and outer world, between emotions and how I respond to them, between endless chatter and silence.
I found peace and became more accepting of those around me—without compromising myself. Thanks to the yoga and Pilates sessions, I became noticeably more flexible and energized. I even (a little bit) learned how to meditate and understood why it's important. I was especially inspired by the candle meditation—I'll definitely keep practicing it.
The early mornings, the pleasant and engaging daytime activities, and the evening meditations helped me restore healthy, restful sleep. The silence practice made a deep impression on me, and I'm still discovering its effects—new feelings and understandings continue to surface.
I’m sure I’ll continue to feel the retreat’s impact for some time and will keep unfolding the insights I gained there. And as a wonderful bonus: we had beautiful weather, warm sea, delicious vegan food, and soulful company.
Thank you so much again 😘

Dearest Ira,
Thank you for this magical retreat. Words can't fully express what I experienced and felt on the island. It was incredibly powerful—at times frightening, sometimes emotional and uncomfortable—but absolutely unforgettable!
This was my first-ever retreat, and the “silence” practice completely turned me inside out. I’ve never felt such intense resistance before. But honestly, tears come to my eyes from the depth of this mental cleansing.
I’m deeply grateful to every woman who went through her own journey and transformation—yet together, we were one united field. Each of us was beautiful and unique in her own way, each with her own inner chaos, but together—WE WERE A COSMIC FORCE!
Thank you all. And to you, dear Ira, I send a heartfelt hug and all my love. ❤️

Tired of routine? Lacking joy and inner fullness? Daily life blending into exhaustion?
Then, like a true hermit 🥰 — I seek solitude.
And Ira, you give me that space.
Your focus, your ability to create and hold space while staying centered is inspiring. It helps us dive into the unknown without fear.
On this journey, I met a joyful group of unique, balanced people, untouched Finnish nature, sunsets, swans, jellyfish, and quiet farms where you can buy apples with no one around.
In nature, I met Silence. I went inward—quietly, curiously, observing myself and the world.
We swam (some even at sunrise!), ate vegetarian food, woke early, meditated, practiced yoga, walked, rested, drew mandalas, and slowly tuned in to ourselves.
I slept better, observed more, and returned home with heightened senses, feeling all the colors of life. At first, I didn’t want to leave that cosmic state—but here we are, back on Earth. ☺️

Irina, Thank you for this beautiful time together on the island—on that magical island in the middle of nowhere!
I feel incredibly joyful, happy, light, and all-embracing!
It was an experience that truly filled me up and opened me from within.
