“Irina!!! Hello & Many Blessings to you. I'd first like to say, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I have been processing this past weekend & will continue to do so for a while, I'm sure. The Retreat was SO many things rolled into one! The accommodations were lovely and your personal touches; the fresh flowers and welcome note for each of us in the bedrooms, the set up of the FANTABULOUS circle, with offerings of chocolate, fruit, rose quartz hearts & oracle cards, beautiful singing bowls, music, meditations, the Cacao ceremony, Body Movement sessions, Drumming Circle around the fire, visit to the lake, the exploration of the senses & the delicious meals spoke not only to all five senses but to the soul as well. You took us on a journey of self discovery, in a way that can only lead to growth & self love if we apply & accept what is our birthright. On a more personal note, your soothing voice, loving embraces not only with your arms but with your open heart make me weep. Your encouragement comes from such a place of empowerment, it really is incredible. I'm so happy to have spent this time with you & all of the other beautiful ladies. I have a request. Would you share the music you played? I've never heard it before. It was so beautiful to me. You are such a gift, thank you for sharing YOU🥰.”

“As a Sound Healer and leader of Women’s circles, I was due for some pampering of my own. When Irina messaged me that she was doing a women’s retreat, I was excited to be the guest. Her program went beyond my expectations! I enjoyed every single activity that was planned. I set my intention at the beginning of the retreat and it was met throughout. Irina puts care into the details of the event, care into her activities, and is a delightful person to be around. The location was a beautiful space, the food was delicious, and it was a joy to bond with so many other women. I highly recommend attending one of her retreats for relaxation, healing, bonding with other women and for emotional liberation.”

“Irina puts such careful thought and attention into each and every detail. You can’t help but feel her heart/love pouring into yours and to the others. I felt nothing but peace, harmony, love and acceptance! It was so profound and so meaningful!!! I’m still trying to unpack all that it has done for me! From the meditation, to the amazing cacao ceremony, to the dance/s, becoming 1 amongst 14 incredible ladies! It’s as if I was looking into a mirror and what I saw and witnessed from each woman, I began seeing the same beauty within myself. When we learn how to set intentions, it becomes a beautiful tapestry. We are all connected, woven, and become more empowered with women of every creed and culture! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Irina for lavishing us with your gifts, your proclivity, and love ❤️ .”

“Today I did the craziest thing in my entire life and I quit my job!!! You and the power I saw in each of your stories inspired me not just to quit my job but to open my own Nature Preschool 😊!!! I hope to find more ways to teach and inspire other women to grow and follow their dreams or to discover what their true purpose is in life!!! I will also be offering gardening, herbal, bread making, and chicken keeping classes for women! Can’t wait to see what the future unfolds for all of us!!!! The retreat was such a life changing experience and I am so grateful and privileged to be part of your journeys to self improvement!!! Thank you for this experience Irina!! I love you all 🥰🥰🥰!”

“I had the pleasure of spending a weekend with Irina and a group of amazing women. Irina does an incredible job of fostering vulnerability and community. She creates space for women to express their emotions, whether it's joy, sorrow, grief, bliss, or peace. Irina built a weekend structured in a way that every activity flowed seamlessly into the next, giving time for processing and reflection; movement and stillness. Irina has a gift that cannot be put into words. Her spirit is welcoming and understanding and I am so grateful that I was able to come into her light. I highly recommend any retreat or activity Irina is a part of, you will not be disappointed. Irina - Thank you for reminding me of my own light and the power I have within me. I am eternally grateful for you and your energy. 🩷✨️☀️.”

“I want to thank Irina for such an amazing women’s retreat. I went into the retreat with an open mind and without expectations. I just wanted to experience things as they came, a kind of throwing caution to the wind adventure on my own. Even if I had expectiations this retreat would have far exceeded them. Irina is so caring and compassionate. You can tell that she has put a lot of thought and care into her retreat events and that each person truly matters. I felt very stuck, without purpose, clarity or passion before the retreat, but have found a renewed zest for life, a recomittment to my spiritual practices and a drive for more movement in my life. All of the ladies I met were wonderful!!! I look forward to what the next retreat has in store. I am sure it will be just as amazing.”

“The women’s retreat this past weekend was a powerful, beautiful, emotional, and inspiring program. Nazareth Retreat Center was a beautiful venue to host this event. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere was perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Irina is a warm, welcoming, and enthusiastic leader. She has created a space that feels safe and unique. Her passion comes through even in the smallest details. I feel so thankful to have found this community where I feel welcomed and safe, where every emotion is ok to express. Every women’s circle is unique, but love is always at the very core each and every time 💖.”

“Thank you so much for this beautiful time with you and other women, Irina. I enjoyed the retreat very much. The place, the program, the practices, the fire ceremony, connection to nature, the small details of beauty, the healthy food…everything was great! I especially enjoyed the sense of unity that quickly formed among the participants. We listened to each other’s stories, supported one another, and shared lots of hugs. I came home recharged and joyful. I could highly recommend your retreats for women seeking self-discovery and connection.”

“Irina has a gift... she envelopes you in a safe place, a magic space, a loving and compassionate environment. She gives you room to absorb, reflect, and expand, to discover your inner child... not to be alone. Through dance, sound, vibrations, meditation, scent song, and community we all came together... I am better because of you and this retreat.”

“I've had the opportunity to attend 3 beautiful events with Irina. This weekend's End of year Cacao Ceremony was so healing and peaceful. Irina's space is inviting, warm and welcoming. It is such a safe space to be yourself and Irina has a gift of making you feel seen and heard. Every moment of the evening was meaningful and intentional. Thank you Irina.”
