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

This seminar was carried for 3 years, and for 9 years now it has been held in places far from the city, and each time with new strength. 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 Big Destiny.

What is the Shadow?

There is an opinion that Light is better than Shadow. That monsters lurk in the Shadow and that it is better not to look in there, not to wake them. Not to provoke. And in general, that’s how it is. But precisely in general, without the details. And it is in the details that the essence, the individuality and the uniqueness of a person’s path lie.

So if you want to live quietly, peacefully and without adventures – stay at home. Any journey is dangerous, because it expands boundaries, and that means it destroys what exists. All the more so a journey in 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 comes quickly. What result? That depends on who needs what…

It all begins long before the event – with the decision to come. With the fact that for some, the space of their life holds them with all its might and won’t let go. Others it – pushes out, stimulates.

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

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

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

– in the brave it is the inner Coward

– in the careless it is the inner Controller

– in the boorish it is the inner Gentleman

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” about it. And it was said by important, significant people. Parents, for example. They condemned a girl’s flirtatiousness, or a boy’s sensitivity. And since then the girl has been as if enchanted, her EGO is “dry and strict”, and the boy has been enchanted, 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 wimp);

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

– the Sunbeam (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 variants as there are people

The mystery is based on the practices of Eastern monasteries, trials from Castaneda’s world and the original research of the hosts 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 meet the generally accepted standards of “goodness”, so that I would be praised, accepted, noticed…

Now, being honest with myself, I recognise and accept the real me, I begin to live. I have stopped building myself up and erecting a monument not made by hands to myself, 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 is up to me how I receive these gifts, what I create from them. Such 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 I made in the mystery, when I met my

“Now I know what clothes feel when they are turned inside out, recut and resewn, filled with new contents and presented to the world as a new and quite beautiful product of creativity! :) After going through the mystery I FELL IN LOVE, I fell in love with Life, with people, with nature, I felt every cell of my body and of 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. It is how we are used to being, how we are comfortable, how we present ourselves to society when we want to be liked and to achieve results. Smiles and looks that are habitual (to ourselves), buttons and props. And at the same time – a hunt for the parasites of the inner world, which manifest in speech.

3. An important part is the format of silence in the mornings, which turns the participants’ attention inwards and gives them the chance, from the familiar outer world of social rituals (“Good morning!”, “How are you?”, “Did you sleep well?” and other politenesses and courtesies), to turn to themselves and observe WHEN exactly they feel like saying an unsolicited courtesy, or something clever, or asking for support like a child. Or to DETERMINE in front of whom and why they absolutely want to look good? To what end?

   

4. Then the participants look for their Shadow, choose a new name and for the next 6 days live in a new role for themselves. 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 some reason “doesn’t suit” them.

We live in a comfortable house, where it is warm and 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.
