Time to get back to yourself

In a time when taking a 'moment for yourself' has become a luxury that few can afford, it's essential to re-emphasize its importance. Join us in the beautiful setting of the heart of Gorski Kotar, at over 700 meters above sea level, embraced by pristine nature, for a three-day workshop. Enjoy the benefits of bioenergy therapy, counseling, and meditation. Take this opportunity to step away from the daily routine and dedicate time to yourself...

A journey after which you are not the same...

To better understand oneself and grasp concepts such as happiness, health, and a more fulfilling destiny, one must first comprehend the “negative” factors that hold them back in order to ultimately unlock their full potential. Through years of working with people and insights into our biofield, I have concluded that the answers to these questions lie deeply hidden in our subconscious. When you decide to attend the workshop, you are also choosing to change your life. We are layered beings, and on each of these layers, there are energetic envelopes that we are generally unaware of in our daily lives filled with stress, rush, and fear for the future, but which our soul is aware of. The goal of the workshop is to awaken these energetic layers on all three levels - body, spirit, and soul. That is why the concept of the workshop takes place in nature, away from the city's energy, crowds, and stress.

When you come to the workshop, you are not just coming to hear and experience yourself but giving yourself the “luxury” of resting your soul from everything that modern life demands as an “obligation.” That is why the energy of the location is crucial, as well as your separation from the “stress zone” to a zone where self-care is the top priority.

To change our lives or heal, we first need to understand why we find ourselves in situations with problems or illnesses. Every consequence has its cause, and to grasp where these causes lie, we must step away from what we perceive with our consciousness and the way we view ourselves and the world around us. I call this "awakening the soul." The goal of the workshop is for each person to achieve this awakening, a movement that will open them to new knowledge and self-discoveries—not how we wish to see ourselves but how we truly are at our core, in our soul. Just as stagnant water turns into a swamp, our emotions, consciousness, and character shape our view of the world and our place in it. When we understand the causes of our illnesses and problems, it triggers the activation of the fine inner energies we are composed of. I look forward to meeting you and am excited about the time we will spend together surrounded by unspoiled nature.

The course of the workshop

Friday

The first day

FOCUS ON THE LEVEL OF THE SOUL

Arrival at 5:00 PM for check-in and allocation of accommodation units. The introductory session will include an overview and biopole diagnostics for the workshop participants.

The first day is dedicated to something that is so important yet often overlooked: our soul or subconscious. It is reserved for diagnosing your biopole and explaining the causes of your issues.

If a person does not understand where their difficulties come from, they cannot understand how to resolve them. To become happy, healthy, and to maximize our potential, we must understand what is holding us back from achieving this.

Through the insight into your biopole, you will receive the answers needed to fulfill your potential in terms of destiny, health, career, and most importantly, recognizing your strengths that you may not even be aware of.

The information obtained on the first day will be integrated into the following two days, as our soul is our core. This knowledge will benefit you not only during the workshop but throughout your life.

It is important to come with an open heart and a desire to become better, understanding that the cause lies within you and that the step to transformation is very close.

Saturday

Second day

FOCUS ON THE BODY - BIOENERGETIC THERAPIES - GUIDED MEDITATION

The second day will be dedicated to the energy of our physical body. To ensure that our physical body functions well and healthily, it is crucial to "feed" it with proper energy. This includes appropriate nutrition and physical activity. Food is not just fuel for our body but primarily a form of external energy we ingest.

If this energy is unbalanced or improperly chosen, it will negatively affect our overall health. Since there is also an "inner" cause for the food choices we make, you may have noticed how "difficult it is to change your eating habits" and how often you follow "diets" to position yourself in the external world and impress others at the expense of your own health.

With insights into the root causes at the soul level, you will better understand this aspect, which is as important as the other two levels.

The second day begins with a nature walk, which will help us connect with this level. After returning from the walk, there will be a break followed by bioenergetic therapies that connect the first two levels. These therapies are a unique experience, activating energy on all levels and altering our entire energetic structure.

In the evening, we will have a guided meditation to conclude the day by "separating" our physical body and allowing it the rest it deserves.

Advice: Be sure to bring clothing and footwear suitable for today's activities (forest walk). If you wish to meditate while lying down, it is recommended to bring a mat.

Sunday

The third day

FOCUS ON AWARENESS - YOUR RETROSPECT

The third day is reserved for a retrospective of the entire workshop. In the self-development journal you will receive via email before departing for the workshop, you will reflect on what happened during the workshop and on the final day, you will "wrap up" with a conscious review of what you expected, what you experienced, what has changed within you, and what you hope to gain from the next workshop.

The workshops are designed to keep you constantly in touch with yourself and your inner state. They are structured around effective “self-work.”

On the last day, we will focus on reflecting on your experience of what you have gone through and what you aim to achieve in the future. Awareness is a crucial level as it is where the "first" decisions are made about what you will do differently tomorrow compared to today. This is where change begins! No two workshops are the same, and neither will you be.

Group workshops offer numerous benefits, one of which is the opportunity to be with people who are moving in the same direction of change. You will learn to communicate in front of others and, most importantly, you will learn to express your emotions in ways you might never have dared to in the real world due to fear of judgment, hurt, or others’ opinions.

In the end, you will give yourself a "grade" on what you set as a goal and identify what you want to change about yourself in the next workshop.

Deciding to make a change is easy—putting it into action is as difficult as you allow yourself to admit that your “flaws” need to be redirected toward the good. This is when healing occurs on all levels of our existence.

Departure is scheduled for 11:00 AM.

Diary

which will accompany you at every step of the journey

I created this journal to help you find a way to slow down and connect with yourself. The goal is to connect with your body, heart, mind, environment, and your relationship with yourself and others during the weekend workshop.

I hope this combination of presence, contemplation, and reflection will deepen your awareness, stimulate insight, and make you aware of the truth about yourself. Participants will receive the journal a few days before the start of the weekend workshop via email. The first part of the journal pertains to the period immediately before the workshop, while the rest of the journal focuses on questions you will contemplate during the workshop.

Slow down and enjoy the moment of connecting with your inner self.

Bioenergetic therapy and meditation

At the weekend workshop, participants will have the opportunity to participate in bioenergetic therapy. Bioenergetic therapy can help you overcome stressful periods, find inner peace and establish a stronger connection between body, mind and soul. The effects of bioenergetic therapy can be physical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual. We highlight only some of the effects of the bioenergetic treatment that the participants have felt so far:

 

  • Deep relaxation and regeneration

  • Better energy flow

  • Strengthening the immune system

  • Relaxation of the mind

  • Getting to know new knowledge

  • Better concentration

  • Releasing tension

  • Overall positive feeling

  • Greater balance and harmony in your life

  • It enriches our experience and increases the general satisfaction with life

 

At the weekend workshop, we also have a group guided meditation, that is, a spiritual exercise in which a person systematically and systematically directs his attention to a certain content. Meditation can provide you with a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit your emotional well-being and your overall health.

Location and useful information

The location of the workshop is a comfortable holiday house in nature, surrounded by forest and greenery. Exact location details will be sent to you after check-in.

In the meantime, get ready for an unforgettable experience of personal development and relaxation in a wonderful natural environment.

In order to ensure a quality experience for each individual, the number of participants is limited. Here we will explore the depths of our inner transformation together, supported by the energy of the environment that surrounds us.
