Meet in Silent Truth

Dear Ones,

In this letter you will find:

• an invitation to tend to yourself with love and extend your summer way into October. Last couple of spots available for our W H O L E healing yoga retreat in Portugal.

A Return to Your Natural Wholeness

There is a moment in our lives when we are called to withdraw and retreat. We are called to turn our back on the world for a brief moment, to forget for a while the endless things to do, the endless things we didn't do, the endless things we must do...All this doing won't matter in the end for we will all go unaccomplished.

There is a moment in our lives when we are called to pause and return to what was there, alive in us, before we even learnt something had to be done at all, before we learnt to work for love, before we understood (mistakenly) that we needed to become a "somebody" to be loved. All this "becoming" won't matter in the end for true love doesn’t need us to become anything.

There is a moment in our lives when we are called to strip things down, to simplify our days, to say less rather than more, to be less rather than more, to let go of objects rather than accumulate. All this accumulation won’t matter in the end for we are all going empty-handed.

There is a moment in our lives when we feel tired. Tired from searching for fulfilment "out there", tired from the ups and downs of life, tired from "holding it all together", tired from putting on a mask...and we are called to rest. Deeply. Without defences and on all levels. All these defences won’t work in the end for we are all going helpless and naked.

There is a moment in our lives when we are done with disallowing parts of ourselves, denying our pain, abandoning our hearts, ignoring our souls...and we are called to heal, to love every aspect of this being, to return to our innate wholeness. No parts of us can be successfully ignored in the end for we will have to face it all in the final moments of this lifetime.

There is a moment in our lives when we are ready to retreat from the world. So that we can tend to ourselves with utter love and with reverence for this life we have been given. So we can live it in love. Finally.

If this moment has come for you, I would love to welcome you with us. Join us for our W H O L E journey of yoga and self-discovery, Oct 16 - 23 in the holy and healing Bodhi Bhavan , Monchique Mountain, Portugal.

There are 2 spots left and a very beautiful and powerful women group so far. Each retreat is different, but I feel that this one is going to be deeply healing, raw and ancient. I'm lucky to be supported by this magical mountain, the medicine of cacao, the healing power of sound and the voices of beautiful friends (many surprises are waiting for you).

You will be held - that much I know. Welcome.

With Love,

Iri

WHOLE: Autumn yoga & self-discovery retreat in Portugal, Oct 16 - 23

Two final spots left.

Have you been longing for nourishment, deep healing and rest? Are you willing and ready to meet what has been avoided, heal what has been wounded and return to your natural wholeness?

Join an intimate and stunning group for a loving and carefully designed week of soulful yoga beyond asana, voice work, self-inquiry, cacao rituals and sound healing for those who are ready to shine light upon, heal and reclaim all parts of their being to return to their natural wholeness.

1:1 MiST Sessions - Meet in Silent Truth

I will be in London in June and July - welcome to come for an in-person session. I would love to meet you.

These sessions are a mix of self-inquiry and trauma-informed therapeutic skills, but most importantly, they are rooted in silent loving Presence. This simply (but powerfully) means meeting you with a quiet mind and an open heart - being a mirror without agenda, without opinion, without judgement. I have found time and time again that this truthful open meeting has a deeply healing effect and leaves space for you to see your own beautiful reflection. It is the greatest gift I ever received and I am so honoured to extend the invitation to you.

Upcoming Events

With Love and Gratitude,

Iri
