Adrasan-2023.
Healing. Gently with Yourself

• Of course, yoga twice a day. One longer class with more yoga and a second, lighter one. Suitable for practitioners of any level. I have to say, though, that I no longer push myself to exhaustion, so for really advanced “Olympic reserve” yogis it may feel “too easy” (if you think in terms of “doing every asana in a week”). I specialise more in cutting and polishing diamonds and in building a solid foundation. Doing every asana in 6 days is definitely not my goal. I love depth and flow.
• Of course, meditations from my treasury of Buddhist practices. Buddhism and its view are the core and essence of my being, so I share very generously what is eternal, transcendent and incomparable.
• Of course, psychology. I am very happy with my new identity as a practising psychologist, although my unique blend of life experience, practices and methods is far from classical. At the seminar I will definitely go through the key cornerstone topics: boundaries, guilt and responsibility, principles of communication, identities and role rapport, values and beliefs.
• And of course, Human Design. While training as a professional analyst, I dived into this rabbit hole and am still falling — the scope and practicality of this science captivated me and became the missing piece of the unique system I have been passing on to the people I work with since 2019. There will be a short introduction to the system and, of course, a few days of sharing and living different experiences through the lens of “what if this really is my mechanics and my way of filtering / processing / responding to the endless ocean of information we live in”.
• And in 2023 I will bring an aroma-testing kit and, as a beginner olfactotherapist, will gain experience by testing everyone who wishes with essential oils from Young Living, the world leader in essential oils. These are oils of the highest grade. Lucky are those who begin to discover the essence of healing plants with the best quality on the market. I will also make a resource aroma, if we are lucky.

Make up your mind and register — I invite you on this journey, where there will be balance and synergy of rest and practice, effort and relaxation, company and solitude. After the stressful year and a half that affected absolutely everyone, this year it is especially important to invest in your physical and mental health.

After the seminar you can stay on for a few more days (I will be there for at least another 2 weeks) — a chance to extend the summer, soak up some vitamins and enjoy the company of kindred spirits.

Some people receive my messages about seminars and say: “Oh, if only I had known in advance, I would definitely have come.” A short planning horizon is now part of the new, unavoidable reality, so 1) I recommend not putting it off and actually flying now, and 2) I hold a seminar in Adrasan every year (18 years already!!!). So if you feel you “heard about it too late”, here is the information a year in advance: next year the dates will be about the same — the last week of July to August (Saturday to Saturday).

There is no need to rush through life. Or to make decisions from the mind.

People change and transform through contact with me (without false modesty, that is a fact). Putting up with such an emotional Manifestor as me for a long time is neither necessary nor easy — insight, mutation and a new view of reality (and even the ability to experience the flow of life in a new way) sometimes need a short, precise impact (without endless talk). That is exactly how I work. Whether there are 3 people or 33 at the seminar does not matter to me; I prefer groups of up to 15. I have missed yoga very much and am looking forward to this seminar with special anticipation. Join us!

Every year I bring something new to the programme of my annual retreat seminar in Adrasan. This year there will be a completely new psy component! Details:

I will be very happy both to meet again those who have already been to Adrasan for my trainings and those who have yet to discover Adrasan! So you can already buy tickets to a future where you will meet fairy-tale Adrasan, get to know wonderful, interesting people, soak up the life-giving energy of the sun and the sea, discover another, real Turkey, practise, swim and sunbathe against a turquoise backdrop! As always, it will be wonderful!

It is no accident that we have been coming to these places since 2005 — this is already the 18th year! And every year there is less and less need for advertising and praise… Join our egregore, the Adrasan family, for whom there are no longer any boundaries in space and time: “Adrasaners” from past years keep in touch, visit each other, share information, joys and what is in their hearts… Each time a unique mandala comes together — a combination of countless causes and conditions, the place, the weather, the knowledge people bring and a kaleidoscope of personalities — each time it is a miracle! Play this miracle once more or try it for the first time! You will love it!

The traditional text basically stays the same :) As they say, you cannot step into the same river twice… In the same way, despite what seem to be the same schedule, conditions, evening topics, overall concept, trips to traditional places and so on, every time everything depends on so many factors! It always turns out simply wonderful, incredibly bright people always come, and a magical mandala forms for a while and then, obeying the law of impermanence, dissolves just as magically and beautifully… Meetings and partings, inhalations and exhalations… This time the outer and inner conditions have come together so that it is time to BREATHE IN again!!! I invite you to breathe in fresh air — of Turkey, new ideas, concepts, pictures of the world, asana sequences, adventures…

Six days full of real practice, rest, sun, sea, the company of friends and the elements around us (perhaps) will not turn your life upside down… Or they might — becoming the starting point for a change in your quality of life and a new vision and perception. You will have the chance to get answers to your questions, review your practice, your attitude to yourself and the space around you, and expand your picture of the world with the “puzzle pieces” that this informative and practical seminar will give you. Whether you use these opportunities is entirely up to you.

What is it about?!

We are woven from beliefs, ideas, labels and concepts. The common thread of the seminar will be working with beliefs: how to recognise your limiting beliefs, how not to break the “load-bearing structures”, how to transform what stops you from reaching what you want. Most importantly, how to understand whether what I seem to want to achieve, have or become is truly right for me. Why is it that, while sincerely wanting something and making an effort, we either do not reach it or sometimes even do the opposite?

I have a lot to share on this topic! Those who take the seminar this year will appreciate the knowledge and techniques. Insights guaranteed!

Of course there will also be yoga (for now yoga officially dominates my trainings), yoga nidra and meditation (we will devote even more time to it than before).

A VERY rich programme awaits you (plus the specifics of your Human Design — on request and for an additional fee).

I do not sell packaging; I dislike describing my seminar as if I were selling a tour. Those who have been know the quality, and those in touch with me know that I am constantly learning and then generously sharing the knowledge and experience I gain. This year will be unique — trust it, register, and see you soon!

You can hear and feel “live” the effect the seminar had on its participants: all the recordings are real and completely unedited, and convey the atmosphere of the seminar. The recordings are in Russian.

• Participants’ feedback, 2020 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, 2019 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, 2018 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, August 2017 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, 2015 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, 2009 (audio, live recording)
• Participants’ feedback, 2008 (before leaving for Nepal) (audio, live recording)

The training is designed for practitioners of any level. The programme will be delivered through practical and theoretical classes, talks, film screenings and group trips, which are essentially one whole.

Being in the mood for rest is mandatory! :)

1. Pre-registration is REQUIRED (before buying tickets) because the number of participants is limited. You can register by writing to yogatanyapiven@gmail.com. Please include the name of the seminar you are registering for, your surname, first name, city of residence, e-mail and phone number. You are registered only once you receive a confirmation reply.
2. Then you buy your tickets Kyiv – Antalya – Kyiv. Complete freedom here: everyone buys their own, depending on their wishes and means. I can recommend people I know — I will send their contacts after registration on request. ATTENTION!!! ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE DATES: 15 JULY to Antalya and 22 JULY flight back!!! That is if you want to arrive and leave with the group. You can stay at the hotel for more days (arrive before the seminar to acclimatise, or stay after to extend your holiday) — in that case, discuss the options directly with the hotel owners.
3. Right after buying your tickets, send me your flight number and arrival time in Antalya. Tell me which city you are flying from and the local departure time. Also remember to include your first name, surname and phone number.
4. We send you a confirmation that we have received your information and pass it to our Turkish hosts so that you are met at the airport. We will also send you details of how, by whom and where you will be met.
5. You fly calmly, are met with a 100% guarantee and are taken to the seminar venue. Nobody has ever got lost; everyone has been met :)

See you soon, FRIENDS! :)

The village of Adrasan is 100 km from Antalya. At the cosy Aybars hotel (comfortable rooms with spacious balconies) we will have a lovely cosy yoga hall, and delicious Turkish vegetarian meals will be served in an unusually feng-shui setting. The restaurant sits right on a mountain stream: you can sit at a traditional table or an oriental one, feeding the geese and swans swimming around. The sea is a 3-minute walk away — a clean bay with remarkably turquoise water. The beaches in this part of the bay are fairly deserted. If you wish, trips can be organised to a Turkish bath (hammam), a colourful Turkish restaurant, a night trip to Mount Chimaera, the ancient city of Olympos, a yacht trip and a trip up Mount Olympos (cable car, magnificent view and a meditation on SPACE right there!). See the hotel FAQ and the hotel gallery — take a look and enjoy!
