Part II of my reflections on common myths about love and (in this particular newsletter), myths about self-love

Yoga and Self-Discovery Retreat with Iri

Mar 20 - 27, 2027 | Bodhi Bhavan, Monchique | Portugal

Early Bird 10% discount available until Oct 1. Welcome.

In the coming newsletters, I will dive deep into the subject of myths we unknowingly hold about love, in the hope that we will discover together what remains when they are gone.

It wouldn’t be controversial to start with the following statement:

This letter is for those of us who tend to over-function in relationships and internally justify the abusive behaviours of ourselves and others, in order to avoid the grief of the situation.

Welcome to my new website Sessions with Iri, solely dedicated to my 1:1 therapeutic work with people. All feedback most welcome.

Happy, loving, peaceful and prosperous New Year! May 2026 be an important step towards becoming more truly and authentically you. Here are some of the hard lessons of love of 2025 I never wish to forget.
