Online and In-Person Workshops

Being a teenager isn’t easy:

• You’re caught between two worlds – childhood and adulthood.
• You often feel that people still don’t take you seriously.
• You don’t always feel comfortable in your own skin and you’re searching for the style that suits you best.
• You have more responsibilities than rights and freedom.
• School overwhelms you with material that rarely interests you.
• You get bored easily, lose motivation, and often don’t finish what you started.
• You spend too much time in class with people who aren’t your real friends.
• You have to deal on your own with a storm of emotions and even verbal or physical bullying.
• You don’t feel understood—neither at school nor at home.
• Your family places high expectations on you and keeps asking what profession you’ve chosen.
• What career can you choose that won’t be replaced by artificial intelligence?
• What career can you choose that you’ll actually enjoy, yet won’t limit you financially?
• If you spend time on your phone or computer, you’re blamed for wasting time.

But you’re rarely offered an alternative activity!

What else can you do that has MEANING and will help you become a successful and independent person?

Discover the “My Path” program.

Find out who you are and how to present yourself in the best possible way — with your own unique qualities, skills, and ideas!

Give yourself two days away from everyday life to dive into your inner world, among a small group of people who share similar values. Care for the body, yoga, massage or fitness alone are not enough. Meeting yourself, as well as meeting new people, is becoming a significant challenge in today’s times of isolation, anonymity, and illusory communication through social networks. More and more people limit themselves to a narrow circle of acquaintances and do not leave their comfort zone, while feeling lonely at the same time.

A retreat is also a suitable format for small company meetings and team building. Such a workshop can also be organized with a circle of women friends, celebrating a hen party, March 8 – International Women’s Day, December 8 – Students’ Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions.

The retreat practice is an organized meeting in a group of 5 to 8 people with a qualified mentor, held in an out-of-town environment, in which activities with therapeutic effect are practiced. These practices are fun and relaxing by nature and do not dive into very personal or painful topics. However, they predispose toward reflection and self-work, which can later be continued and deepened in individual or family sessions.

The event takes place in the beautiful spa resort of Hisarya, whose central location and easy access are convenient not only for residents of Sofia, but for people from many other parts of Bulgaria. The town of Hisarya is a perfectly calm, clean, and green place, with large parks and many walking areas among age-old trees and a wide variety of birds. Besides mineral waters, pools, and fresh air, the town has a millennia-old history of ancient civilizations and well-preserved remains – Roman baths, a Roman tomb, and one of the best preserved fortress walls in all of Europe. Besides pedestrian and bike areas, the town offers several eco trails, as well as a variety of cultural events throughout the year.

Accommodation with breakfast, pool, and spa zone are provided in a boutique hotel, and the group practices take place in a small hall near the hotel. The price of the two-day package includes one night’s accommodation, one lunch, snacks, coffee, tea, and water during the event, access to the hotel spa zone and pool, and all group activities totaling 8–10 hours, with a qualified mentor. Dinner and travel expenses are not included in the offer. There are several excellent restaurants in town that will delight you with a unique modern atmosphere and cuisine!

Inspired by the TV series of the same name, we will be a group of four women discussing topics such as love, family, parenting, friendship, communication, and any other subjects proposed by the participants. Each meeting will focus on one specific theme, agreed upon in advance. These discussions offer an opportunity to better understand our own attitudes, expectations, fears, or disappointments, and to exchange insights based on each other’s life experience.

Location: The meetings can be held either in person or online, depending on the availability of all participants.
Price: 15 Euro per person
Time: Every Friday from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM or Saturday afternoon - to be arranged.

Relooking means transformation through changes in dressing style, hairstyle, or makeup – a change in appearance without radical cosmetic procedures, but rather through analysis and awareness of the aura or impression we convey, and the one we wish to express. It consists in exploring the messages we send through our appearance, eye contact, gestures, posture and body language.

This is a reflective process in front of a mirror, guided by a therapist who helps recognize your connection with yourself – your face, body, and physical presence.

The final session can be focused on makeup, a small change in hairstyle or dressing style, in order to help you rediscover yourself in a new light. Sometimes, positive transformation is easier when it starts outside-in.

Session duration: 90 minutes
Price for 1 session - 35 Euro and fo a 3-session package - 90 Euro

As people age, they sometimes feel sad and lonely. You can offer a parent or another elderly loved one the gift of time and attention, during which a professional will listen to their story. They will be heard with understanding and respect, allowing them to see the beauty and meaning of their life journey and to share their feelings. They will have the opportunity to talk about what they regret and what they do not regret at all. This will be a time for reflection and for understanding their past in a special way. Such a gift is more valuable for older people than food and clothing, which they need less than attention and understanding.

Genealogical analysis and exploring the family tree is a valuable practice for everyone, especially for those with a long life journey. An elderly person has a vast reserve of memories, to which they assign different meanings at the various stages of their life. When we tell and connect with the story of our ancestors, our own life gains a greater clarity, meaning, and a sense of wholeness. Family expectations, ancestral duties, blessings, and burdens start to reveal the apparent or hidden effects on each person’s life. Psychotherapeutic work with the family tree helps uncover the connections between generations, the human destinies that repeat or completely diverge from family traditions.

Session duration: 60 to 90 minutes.
Price for a package of 5 sessions: 130 Euro online, 180 Euro in the office, and 230 Euro at the client’s home.
