Four energy activations and meditation with Irena to help release built-up tension and feel calmer, lighter and more energised
with Irena Kovaljukova
The Garden Venue, Johannesburg
2-4 October 2026
01
Even in a quiet moment, your mind returns to what needs to be decided, checked or remembered.
The retreat brings attention back to what often gets put off: your sensations, feelings and inner state.
The tension is still there
The day is over
02
You are used to holding things together. Tiredness, frustration and other feelings get pushed aside because something else always seems more urgent.
03
You know it is time to slow down. But knowing that does not automatically help your body relax or your mind settle.
What you will do at the retreat, and why
Safe Energy Activation is an energy practice set to music. During each session, you rest comfortably on a mat while Irena guides the process. She describes her method as supporting participants' own energy activation through working with the group's energy field.
You do not need to copy movements or try to create particular sensations.
You can notice what is happening in your body, which feelings arise and how your state changes.

- Ease tension in the bodyThe practice is intended to help you notice tension and explore a greater sense of relaxation and ease in your body.
- Quiet the constant stream of thoughtsMusic and attention to physical sensations can help shift your focus from mentally running through tasks to what is happening in the present moment.
- Make room for your feelingsInstead of the familiar "I do not have time for this now," there is space to acknowledge your emotions without rushing into the next task.
- Feel more ease and energyAs tension eases, you may notice a greater sense of calm, vitality and energy.
Everyone experiences the practice differently. Strong emotions or movements are not required, and no particular outcome is guaranteed.
Four activations to explore your inner state across the weekend
Two sessions on Friday and two on Saturday give you the opportunity to return to the practice and notice differences: sensations in the body, emotions that arise and what changes from one session to the next.
Meditation
Meditation complements the activations and brings attention to your own experience. There is time between sessions to rest and reflect on what you have noticed.
Integration
This is what integration means here: recognising what mattered to you and what you would like to pay more attention to in everyday life.
You can attend without previous SEA experience. No yoga, meditation experience or special preparation is required.
Irena Kovaljukova knows what it means to keep everything under control
Before working with energy practices, Irena built a career in senior management and led teams of more than 200 people. Responsibility, decision-making and the constant pursuit of results were part of her everyday life.
Her own experience of burnout led her to explore energy and body-based practices, psychology and approaches to working with a person's inner state. After years of study and working with clients, she created Safe Energy Activation.
Today, Irena leads group and private sessions, retreats and training programmes. This will be the first Safe Energy Activation retreat in South Africa.
