There’s still so much we’re not allowing into our lives because we try to control what comes to us and how. Not always consciously of course, or it would be much easier to stop ourselves 😉
Unfortunately, the things we want most in life are often the hardest not to be attached to. And not being attached is a crucial element in surrender.
When you surrender you allow in the magic of the Universe. You shift from doing to being, from effort to flow and from your head to your heart.
What stops you from surrender is an ingrained habit of taking back control, based on a seed fear. A fear so powerful that you try anything else, before you surrender. Because deep down you believe surrender means you tell the Universe you no longer care about the outcome.
I believe surrender is crucial in the new world, the new way of being—aligned to who you truly are.
That’s why I created my Surrender Week and now this virtual retreat.
I’m highly intuitive and good at getting straight at the core of an issue for people. I’ll be using my intuitive abilities to tune in for participants, and there will be room to ask questions.
You’ll leave this retreat feeling lighter and more confident. You’ll feel a deeper sense of trust and have a better understanding of what has been holding you back all these years.
You’ll have received powerful tools and insights to support yourself in living a more aligned life in the flow—allowing in more support and more ease!
So that you can stop resisting, let go of your tight control (which will free up so much time and energy!) and enjoy the miracles life has in store for you!
A 3-hour virtual retreat on Saturday, November 20th from 9am-12noon Eastern / 3pm - 6pm Central European time. This retreat takes place via ZOOM video.
Replace fear with trust so you can allow in all the miracles life has to offer
I was moving ahead in life as if the breaks were on, carrying around old events, not knowing they were still holding me back. Iris helped me see those parts that I was keeping in the shadow.
I thought I had come a long way already. Little did I know there were still tripping stones on my path.
The virtual retreat was a pleasure, the participants were lovely and supporting, Iris was the beacon in our midst shining her light on the parts that most needed care.
One word or sentence or the chills Iris gets when something feels right to her (I love when she says « This gave me chills »), are powerful ways she sends her messages out to get us moving.
For years I had this superficial knowing that you create your own life but I didn’t fully believe it. Now I know and feel that this is true and the belief in myself is so much stronger.
I loved every moment. Thanks to the retreat I am moving forward in my business with much more confidence. A new world has opened up.
It was highly transformative. Iris thank you for your guidance and being an amazing catalyst for us. I’m extremely grateful.
I was so moved and freed and empowered by the retreat. You said to me, “You are so loved!” I have felt very far away, for a very long time, from knowing that, but it was clear that it was meant to get through to me, and it was absolutely what I needed most deeply to hear. It had the effect of making me feel I was alive and could allow myself going forward to be fully alive.
It was stunning, as if I had been given permission to be full of my own light and did not need to feel alone with myself. It made me feel powerful. I felt I could access and manifest who I am, and that there did not need to be a holding back; that it was within my power to do so, and that there was a big, beautiful life force in me.
From the start, there was an easy feeling of safety and resonance in the group, despite large differences in our ages, personalities, life course and even continents.
You said there is always a meant-to-be about the particular participants who find themselves together. I can see that, but I also feel you have crafted a wonderful vehicle for a transforming experience, and your in the moment guidance is clearly gifted.
I’m a clinical psychologist, I’m older … From these vantage points, as I listened to your input to the other participants, I could hear the deep psychological rightness in your insights and input. You have a rare intuitive ability, but it’s equally clear you have developed and honed that ability to make it most useful and effectively communicated. Thank you, Iris!
This was a really pleasant workshop—something shifted at a very deep level. I’ve been able to release a part of myself in a safe and easeful way. It felt right. This piece was done and complete. To my surprise I was familiar with the new element I allowed in! I’ve seen it before and it felt so safe even though I hadn’t recognized it as part of me. I’ve embraced this new soul part with love and I’m curious what this will bring me.
I even noticed my breathing had changed and I was sitting differently. I sense a lot has been transformed and yet the world doesn’t feel upside down. This shift fits. Profound but subtle.
