Mysteries and camps

Where there is more life

The seminars take place away from cities and stuffy rooms, where you get a rare chance to be yourself, without masks or social roles.

What a mystery is

A mystery is not a training

Every year: multi-day seminar-mysteries in depth and intensive psychology, out in nature, by the sea, in the mountains, in the forest.

A mystery differs from a training in that it has no rigid plan, and the facilitator pays close attention to the group’s requests and moods.

A mystery has no expected outcome: any outcome is good by definition, because either way you get clearer about your path, your wishes and your intentions.

The flagship mystery · since 2010

“Me and My Shadow”

An extreme laboratory of psychological stretching. A training quest.

This is a laboratory for exploring your shadow qualities. Here you can live out the parts of yourself that usually stay hidden, and let them become part of your charisma. That is how your life scales up: you become whole and free.

The resource lies in the Shadow, in the denied (yet existing!) parts of the personality: forgotten, condemned, suppressed. In the brave it is the inner Coward; in the careless, the inner Controller.

I like to call “Me and My Shadow” a psychic slalom: the descent from the mountain of the Ego is swift, and results come fast.

There is a view that Light is better than Shadow. That monsters lurk in the Shadow, so better not to look there, not to wake them, not to provoke them. And in general that is true. But only in general, without the details. And the details hold the essence, the individuality and the uniqueness of a human path.

The path of the mystery

How the mystery unfolds

  1. 01

    It all begins long before the event, with the decision to come.

  2. 02

    Shaping a personal request: from a vague “something is wrong with me” to something concrete, like “I lack confidence”.

  3. 03

    Studying the Ego: our habits, our comfort zones, how we present ourselves when we want to be liked and to succeed. And at the same time, hunting the parasites of the inner world that show up in our speech.

  4. 04

    Morning silence: to turn inwards and notice exactly when you want to offer an unasked-for nicety or clever remark, or to ask for support like a child.

  5. 05

    Participants search for their Shadow, choose a new name and live in a role that is new to them.

  6. 06

    The final stage: integrating the Shadow into the personality, and the Exit from the Mystery.

Names a Shadow might take

  • The Attentive Bore, if the ego is a cheerful slacker
  • The Iron Lady, if the ego is a pushover
  • The Sunbeam, if the participant resembles a sad hermit
  • The Wild Barbarian, if the participant is a well-mannered, modest “boy”

What it draws on

Practices of Eastern monasteries, trials from the world of Castaneda, and the facilitators’ and participants’ own research:

  • vipassana
  • breathwork: holotropic breathing and rebirthing
  • a day and night blindfolded
  • psychodrama

What the mystery often gives

  • Protection from mental viruses such as “I must…”, “It’s their fault…”, “I can’t…”
  • Freedom to choose your path and move towards yourself
  • The power to be accepted, loved and needed in different states
  • The will to steer life situations

Testimonials

After the Shadow

I finally understood… after “Me and My Shadow” I understood that I am a self-made woman. I myself am the result of who I am now and who I will be tomorrow. A very powerful training.

Mariana“Me and My Shadow” · 2017

After the mystery I fell in love — with Life, with people, with nature; I felt every cell of my body and my soul! Did I become different? Yes, I became REAL!

A participant“Me and My Shadow”

A truly amazing seminar. I did it twice, and each time it was THE EVENT OF THE YEAR for me.

Yulia E.“Me and My Shadow”, Carpathians · 2014

A year ago I felt sharply that I could not go on living as I had. That there was much MORE OF ME than I was used to thinking… To live out your “Shadow” means to discover an enormous resource in yourself and find your new centre, your balance.

Natalia M.“Me and My Shadow”, Carpathians · 2015

Who would have thought that the “Me and My Shadow” mystery would turn my brain 180 degrees and shake my insides so hard that I would be putting myself back together again… And I like what I put together more than ever before. This is a truly great me!

“Me and My Body”

For those who want to renew contact with their own body: lose weight, dance freely and gain strength. To awaken a bodily taste for life, and eroticism.

Sensitivity and intuition live in the body. People say “I feel it in my skin”, “my legs won’t go”, “I can’t lift a hand”: echoes of the body’s all-important language. It is what makes us alive.

A mystery about your inner Man and Woman

Constellations

Healing difficult relationships with yourself and loved ones

Here you can diagnose and correct distortions in your relationships with the people who matter, and find the best options and strategies for building your future. Shift your state to clarity and lightness.

A space where any request can be “constellated”, from a financial ceiling to difficult relationships, so you can see the real picture your subconscious hides.

However Right and Proper you may be, all these unclear, unfinished and never-started relationships drain the attention and strength we all need so much!

Safety and boundaries

Depth needs safety

The “STOP” rule

The most important rule of the Shadow. If the tension goes off the scale, if you cannot bear it any more, you can say “STOP” and take a time-out from a particular practice, or leave the group altogether.

An interview first

You join “Me and My Shadow” only after a preliminary interview. It is not for someone who wants to impress the facilitators and prove to themselves how cool they are, or for someone not inwardly ready to face their own fears.

After the mystery

After the Shadow it becomes clearer where to go next. The facilitators offer follow-up support and help with integration.

Confidentiality

Everything you share stays between us. Natalia calls herself “a keeper of personal secrets”.

Breathwork

Holotropic breathwork has contraindications: heart conditions and high blood pressure, pregnancy, epilepsy, recent surgery, severe mental illness. Please tell us about your health beforehand.

First step

Write to me. Let’s begin.

Tell me in a few words what is happening and which format suits you — a consultation, a mystery or a course.
