I’m Ilona. I host gatherings where women remember themselves.At 62, I’ve rewritten my life more than once—mother, entrepreneur, writer, circle-keeper. I created Traveling Women’s Circle because beauty, good food, and honest conversation have a way of putting us back in touch with what matters. My retreats are spacious on purpose: mornings by the sea, dinners that stretch, and creative play that doesn’t grade you.
What I Bring
A love of questions that open doors, gentle movement, and the logistics brain of a project manager—so you can stop carrying everything. I work with artful co-leaders and local hosts who care about details (and dessert).
What Women Take Home
Clarity that sneaks up on you. A kinder pace. New sisters. And a promise to yourself you’ll actually keep.
