Seven days. One island. Your life.
When the landscape becomes a mirror. Business, identity and freedom — in one week.
Not a workshop.
Not a holiday.
Something else.
Each day we move through a different corner of Tenerife — the beach, an ancient laurel forest, the summit of Teide, beneath the Atlantic. The environment isn't a backdrop. It's a tool. Every place opens something different in you — a new angle on your business, your decisions, on who you are and where you're going.
I'm with you the entire time — as guide and coach. You won't know where the experience ends and the work begins. That's the point.
Seven days,
seven worlds.
Each day has its own theme, its own landscape, its own question. Some things we name. Others simply happen.
01
Presence
Arrival & the Atlantic | ATLANTIC OCEAN · NORTH OF THE ISLAND
The first day we do nothing — we let your body arrive. A walk along the ocean, the first conversation by the water. What brought you here? What are you leaving behind? The Atlantic has a strange way of sorting things out.
02
Roots & Relationships
The laurel forest & silence | ANAGA · ANCIENT RAINFOREST
The forest in Anaga is one of the oldest on the planet. We walk slowly. We talk about origins — yours, your business, your relationships. Where have you put down roots? Which ones feed you, and which ones hold you back?
03
Vision & Purpose
Science & the big question | LA LAGUNA · SANTA CRUZ · SCIENCE MUSEUM
Science, stars and silence — inside a museum built for looking further than you can see. We talk about your vision not as a management concept, but as a living thing. What are you building time for? What are you actually here to do?
04
Challenge & Limits
Into the volcano | EL TEIDE NATIONAL PARK · 3.715 M ABOVE SEA LEVEL
We walk into the national park — raw, almost lunar landscape at the foot of the volcano. No summit needed. The place speaks for itself. Your body knows things your mind hasn't caught up with yet. What is this place asking you to face?
05
Identity & Legacy
The Pyramids, the dragon & ancient time | GÜIMAR PYRAMIDS · GARACHICO · LA OROTAVA
Some places hold memory in their stones. The mysterious pyramids of Güimar, the thousand-year-old Dragon Tree in Garachico, the colonial squares of La Orotava — a day moving through layers of time that feel distant, until suddenly they don't. What are you carrying that isn't yours? What wants to be left behind?
06
Intuition & Body
Diving & blue silence | ATLANTIC OCEAN · BELOW THE SURFACE
Underwater, there are no words. Only body, breath and presence. After surfacing — one of the deepest conversations of the week. What did you notice when you couldn't speak? What does your body want to tell your business?
07
Action & Freedom
Closing & celebration | BEACH · SUNSET
The last day belongs to you. In the morning we draw the final map — what you've discovered, what shifts, what the first steps are. Then we let the plan rest and go celebrate. Sunset, good food, freedom.
Who guides
you.
I'm Ivana — psychologist, coach, researcher and the person who will be with you every single day of this week.
I've spent over twenty years studying what happens between people — in relationships, in organisations, in the body. I hold a PhD in Social and Organisational Psychology, alongside qualifications in law, management, NLP, body-centred therapy, Bodynamic psychology and the McCluskey model of attachment in adult life.
But none of that is why I created Almost Private.
I created it because I kept meeting brilliant, capable people who were exhausted by their own lives — and needed more than a strategy session or a weekend workshop. They needed space. Movement. A week where something could actually shift.
I live between Slovakia and Tenerife. I know this island the way you know a place that has changed you. And I know that the right conversation, in the right landscape, at the right moment — can do what years of meetings cannot.
This is that week.
