“.. Who would have thought that the mystery “Me and My Shadow” would turn my brain through 180 degrees and shake my insides so much, that I would be putting myself together anew out of some spare parts, like a wizard-surgeon in an Eastern fairy tale. And I like what I put together as I never have before: in childhood, in youth. This is a really great Me!”

This seminar was carried for 3 years before it was born, and for 9 years now it has been held in places far from the city and each time with new power. Either the people who come are more and more advanced*, or the theme is gathering momentum, or the time has come for the integration of the SHADOW.

What is the “Me and the Shadow” seminar?

An extreme laboratory of psychological stretching – a QUEST training. One more life inside your Great Destiny.

What is the Shadow?

There is an opinion that Light is better than Shadow. That monsters lurk in the Shadow and it is better, they say, not to look in there, not to wake them. Not to provoke. And that, on the whole, is how it is. But precisely on the whole, without details. And in the details lie the essence, the individuality and the uniqueness of the human path.

So if you want to live quietly, calmly and without adventures – stay at home. Any journey is dangerous, because it widens the boundaries, and therefore – destroys what exists. All the more so a journey into the inner world, all the more so into your own SHADOW.

I like to call the mystery “Me and the Shadow” a psychic slalom. When the descent from the mountain of the Ego happens swiftly and the result is reached fast. What result? That depends on who needs which…

It all begins long before the event – with the decision to come. With the fact that some are held by the space of their life with all its might, not letting go. Others – it shoves out, stimulates.

The next important stage is forming a personal request. From a vague: “there’s something wrong with me”, to a quite specific “I lack confidence”, or “I want to get married”.

The search for the SHADOW doesn’t come easily to everyone. Especially if the request was not specific, something like “there’s something not right with me”. And what is not right and wrong, and where to look for the resource – the whole group helps with that. After the two previous days a lot is already visible.

The resource is in the SHADOW, in the denied (but existing!) parts of the personality. Forgotten, censured. Suppressed….

– in the brave it is the inner Coward

– in the happy-go-lucky it is the inner Controller

– in the boorish it is the inner Charmer

And so on… the list tends to infinity.

Why are some parts (qualities) suppressed by a person?

The answer is simple: once upon a time they were told “bad”. And what is more, they were told so by important, significant people. Parents, for instance. They condemned a girl’s coquettishness, or a boy’s sensitivity. And since then the girl seems to have been bewitched, her EGO is “dry and strict”, and the boy has been bewitched, his EGO is now “a real lad – tough and strong”. And it would all be fine, but it means – walking all your life on one leg and looking with one eye!

What names can the SHADOW bear? Oh… the variety is impressive! Examples:

– the Attentive Bore (if the ego is a cheerful slacker);

– the Cheerful Parrot (if you yourself are serious and obsessed with creativity);

– the Iron Lady (if the ego is a wet blanket);

– the Beloved Wife (if the request is for marriage):

– the Sunny Bunny ( if the participant resembles a sad hermit);

– the Wild Barbarian ( if the participant is a well-brought-up modest “boy” )

And so on, there are as many variations as there are people

The mystery is based on the practices of Eastern monasteries, trials from the world of Castaneda and the authorial research of the leaders and participants of the mystery, namely:

• Vipassana
• Breathing techniques: holotropic breathwork and rebirthing
• A blind day and night
• Psychodrama

Taking part in the mystery often gives the following BONUSES:

• Protection from psychic viruses (such as “I must…”, “They are to blame…”, “I can’t…”)
• The freedom to choose your path and move towards yourself
• The power to be accepted, loved and in demand in different states
• The will to manage life situations

“…With my eyes closed I saw clearly. In my “life” I did what I despised and hated. I have a sense of the ideal, a striving for perfection. What drove me on this path? The wish to seem better, to match the generally accepted standards of “goodness”, so as to be praised, accepted, noticed…

Now, being honest with myself, I recognise and accept the real me, I begin to live. I stopped putting on an act and building myself a monument not made by hands, a frozen, ideal, lifeless statue. My path lies to the real and living me, free in my expression and manifestation of myself, pushing off from my own I want and my own I can and I will. A thought clothed in feeling and expressed in reality gives completeness and wholeness to my life. Trust in myself and in the world is the basis of my interaction with reality. Life is boundlessly generous and it depends on me how I accept these gifts, what I create from them. How great is my degree of acceptance and interaction and co-creation with the world. I rejoice in my insights. I celebrate LIFE! I see and feel my reality in a new way. Life is a flow, a ceaseless movement in which I bathe and come alive. This is only a small part of the discoveries that I made in the mystery, having met my

“Now I know what clothes feel when they are turned inside out, recut and sewn anew, filled with new contents and shown to the world as a new and perfectly beautiful product of creativity! :) After the mystery I FELL IN LOVE, I fell in love with Life, with people, with nature, I felt every cell of my body and my soul! Have I become different? – Yes, I have become REAL! “

How does the seminar go?

The first two days of the mystery are a study of the EGO. This is how we are used to being, how we are comfortable, how we show ourselves to society when we want to please and achieve results. The smiles and looks that are habitual (to ourselves), the buttons and the props. And at the same time – a hunt for the parasites of the inner world that manifest in speech.

3. An important part is the format of silence in the mornings, which turns the participants’ attention inward, and gives the chance, from the outer, habitual world of social rituals: (“Good morning!”, “How are you?”, “Did you sleep well?” and other politenesses and courtesies), to turn to yourself and follow WHEN exactly you feel like saying an unsolicited courtesy, or something clever, or asking for support like a child. Or to DETERMINE before whom and why you want so much to look good. For what purpose?

   

4. Then the participants look for their Shadow, choose a new name and for the next 6 days live in a role new to them. The last stage is the integration of the Shadow into the personality, and the Exit from the Mystery.
5. IMPORTANT! Throughout the seminar the STOP rule applies. A participant may refuse to take part in any practice that, for whatever reason, “doesn’t suit” them.

We live in a comfortable house, it is warm, there are all the amenities. We eat vegetarian food.

Sign up! The places are melting away fast.
Only 12 participants will take part in the mystery.
