Events

Core Flow Lab is a seven-meeting experiential journey into deeper body awareness, emotional expression, self-regulation and authentic connection. Across seven gatherings we explore how life experiences become embodied – through tension, emotional blocks, protective patterns, boundaries, relationships, and the way we connect with our vitality.

The work combines clinical psychology, TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), Reichian and Lowen inspired body psychotherapy, dearmouring, Somatic Experiencing, emotional release techniques, the HumanWork emotional alchemy method, NT Breathwork, expressive movement and therapy process work.

I created this program out of a pure passion for holding a safe space where transformation happens naturally – by listening, and by moving the protective patterns of the complex unity of body, mind, heart and soul. New horizons open, and space for more feeling, choice, connection and aliveness comes to life.

The same journey runs in two locations – Radovljica and Ljubljana. Choose the one that suits you best and apply through the matching form below.

01AWAKEN – coming back to the body

22.8.2026, 16:00–20:00 · Radovljica
23.8.2026, 16:00–20:00 · Ljubljana, Sati joga centar, Ul. J. Jame 12

The beginning of the journey. We return to the body, because before we can transform anything we need to reconnect with body sensations, breath, movement and our own inner experience. This first meeting introduces the body as a source of information, regulation and wisdom.

• TRE
• Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation
• Emotional release, after recognising precisely where we hold tension
• Integrative breathwork
• Grounding and integration

02ARMOR – the body remembers

When the pattern becomes protection.

03FEEL – the emotions we learned to hold

From suppression to expression.

04BOUNDARIES – the power of no

From people pleasing to embodied choice.

05DESIRE – reclaiming life energy

What do I really want?

06RELATIONSHIP – the body in connection

How we meet, attach and protect.

07INTEGRATION – coming home to yourself

From survival patterns to embodied authenticity.

Core Flow Lab is an invitation to meet your deepest self through a living experience grounded in the intelligence of your body – just perfect as it is. Can't wait to meet you and dive deep together.

Love, Iva

What does a woman emerge from?
From the tenderness she has carried.
From the rage she was taught to silence.
From her sensuality, her grief, her pleasure, her wildness.
From the parts of herself she was allowed to show – and from those she learned to hide.

And what if all of them belong?
What if there is no single way of being a woman?
What if the woman within us is something we need to allow to come alive?

This is the heart of The Birth of Venus.

Not another retreat about becoming a “better” woman, healing everything that hurts, or fitting ourselves into another beautiful image of femininity. But a journey into the many faces, voices, energies and truths of womanhood – and into the question: what in me is still waiting to be born?

Venus was not born perfect. She emerged. And this retreat is an invitation to explore what wants to emerge through you – the tender and the fierce, the sensual and the wise, the playful and the powerful, the vulnerable and the wild.

In the heart of green Umbria, surrounded by ancient stone, beauty, art, poetry and the timeless Italian landscape, I will bring together the essence of my years of work and experience with women, the body and the psyche.

Four days, many dimensions

For four days, different dimensions of our experience will meet and melt into one another:

• Somatic work and TRE
• Process work and emotional release
• Expressive movement and embodied expression
• Constellation work
• Breathwork
• Journaling and inner reflection
• Time in nature and spaciousness
• Shared excursions, lunches and dinners
• And the simple, precious experience of being together as women

The place

We will gather in a breathtaking medieval estate – a place that feels almost made for this journey. A place in the very heart of Umbria, the cradle of beauty, art, literature and poetry. A place where we can slow down enough to listen to our body, our heart, our soul whisper.

The Birth of Venus is an invitation:
to soften. To release. To remember.
To desire. To create. To take up space.
To be fully, unapologetically alive.
