Participant 1.
It is like a fairy tale. You suffer certain hardships, knowing that there will be a happy end. Right now I am in the middle of my happy end, living happily ever after. And it seems that my life — at least inside of me — will unfold into something bright, happy and beautiful.
Girls, I am so happy to have become friends with you all. I am close to bursting into tears of happiness because things like this exist! Love you all.

Participant 2.
I would like to say Thank you. Previously, I used to gauge myself by saying, “This is good in me and that is bad or even terrible in me, and this is something I lack entirely.” An analogy with Goddesses helped me understand that everything I have in myself is probably the right thing. Let it work as a whole — don’t reject any random quality, but instead accept and love yourself “as is” in every part: be it being fretful, persistent, unable to make a decision, melancholic or depressive. All this gives a certain meaning to some part of my life and every part of me is helpful in its own way. In any case, don’t reject yourself in any state. I am the way I am. The meaning of the workshop is “be diverse”. I will now learn to be diverse and love myself in different states, both as a girl who cannot choose whether to go left or right, or blazing through everything, or having made up my mind what direction to go. Thank you very much for this.

Participant 3.
The most valuable thing I have taken from this — apart from having had a good sleep — is a skill to allow myself something (because I am such a good girl, rules and agreements are so important to me and I am much in control of myself in this respect). It is even possible not to begin to cry, but instead say, No, I will not. Do something different, allow yourself being openly fretful and not condemn yourself. This is perhaps what I have learned. Many thanks for that!
I would also like to say a special thank you to the girls, Marina and Yulia. It was the first time I met Marina, and unlike many, I had not attended any program before. And this experience was very interesting. Yulia, I know you for a little longer, but now I have seen something new in you. You are absolute professionals. I respect professionalism in people and this experience was a wonderful opportunity to get in touch with the professional things I didn’t know about. This gives me the feelings of reverence, respect, pride and admiration. Certainly, other people’s professionalism and passion are very inspiring. This gives me a lot of energy and I am very thankful for that. You are so committed and so passionate. Special thanks to you, girls! I did not know nor hear of you before, and I would like to bow and say thank you both for being what you are. We all did our best to keep intact the space that has been created here. Everyone was to some extent slow in the beginning, everyone faced some difficulties, but nevertheless I could see that everyone was doing their best, taking care of others. Thank you, each of you, for taking care of us, including me. It is so valuable that you took care of all of us, but I am speaking for myself, therefore thank you for taking care of me. This is particularly valuable for me.

Participant 4.
Thank you everyone, first of all, for building a space based on great professionalism, since the more natural a process seems to be, the more has been invested in making the immersion process progress. In fact, I was surprised by the fact that every morning began in different ways. You tuned us up as a musical instrument, giving us a feeling that it starts to resonate, making you wonder, What is that? It is not just about random talks — accidentally, they give rise to a new state, a new wave on which you live your day, and also the tuning of the instrument, where you can stay and understand that it’s all about you. Different facets open up so naturally. Many, many thanks to you for this.

Participant 5.
Thank you so much, girls, each of you! All those talks in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening… Each of you brings something important, each of you delivers a role model that I have not had before, but now I know that I can do this way. Or little details… The yesterday’s amazing story about mudguards is a masterpiece! It was not by mind but by heart that I have perceived the story. My universe that has taken care of me and cured me… My great grandmothers, great grandmothers and my mom… We constantly keep in touch. There is another group we had to help progress, not only ourselves… This was really cool. And all the time you feel support, all the time you feel that nothing is omitted, everything is fine and even if you forget something you will be reminded. Thank you very much, girls. It was very cool indeed. Deep respect to my peers — everything was great! The idea with the mandalas was really cool! It was sort of cementing as we made drawings, entering a common space. So cool! I did enjoy it.

Participant 6.
You know, I can hardly refer to this as a workshop. In my understanding, a workshop for women should be different. Therefore the word “workshop” is not fit to describe the experience we had. Each of us lived their own story. I lived my own story, and all together we lived our shared story. What was most valuable to me? Marina and Yulia, your openness is fantastic. Being open and letting others being open too. Take me, for example. No matter how private I am, I couldn’t recognize myself in the process. That’s why I have benefited so much! It seems I’ve been to the corners of my soul that remained unvisited for about 30 years. Therefore, thank you very much! Yulia, the immersion meditation was something extraordinary. I realized that I was going to do it, that it is my thing. This expands the surrounding space, giving you new feelings and emotions. This is something I have not experienced before and I had no idea how it could work. So thank you so much for all this!

Participant 7.
Thank you, dear girls! I feel a part of me is in each one of you. It is like collecting diamonds – I can see and I can feel…. I have a feeling I knew you in my previous life… And it feels I am taking a piece of each of you with me. This gives rise to something new that was unknown to me before. Amazingly, in my life, I often hide what I should perhaps express and show. Fearful as it could be, but it was allowed in this space, and everyone felt comfortable. Thank you so much for this experience.

Participant 8.
Much good has been said already, and I will inevitably repeat something, but still. I didn’t have any expectations. A decision to attend was spontaneous — I didn’t look for any training for women, but you are right to say that it was something different, rather a space where everyone learned something for herself, making their own discoveries.
I don’t know. Perhaps it’s the divine providence: the place is so beautiful that you want to come back to get recharged. And each of us has grown thanks to a combination of the place and your skills. You did not let us hide away, making things turn right and smoothing the situation as necessary… Masterful job – well done! It seems we were very luck with each other, because women can be different. I feel we are all so wonderful, so different and so cordial.
It was a very beautiful space of love, a really unusual holiday. Thank you very much to all of you.

Participant 9.
Thank you, girls, each of you! Thank you for the emotions you awaken in me — they were not always positive, and this is great. At times I felt, Well, what is it that catches me? It was an opportunity to go there and have a look. There were positive feelings, and this is also great. Clearly, there are no coincidences and it is not a coincidence that all of us are here. I am simply thankful to the space for everything it has given and gives us during these days. Thanks to the boys and Sasha as well. He contributed his energy to the constellations, and this was also handy for me. Thank you! 

Participant 10.
I have just looked through the goals I had put down. The goals are achieved, but the outcome is unexpected. It is simply from a different area. I suspect I am going to need support to be reminded that I should be both a selfish and tender and soft person in order to establish contacts with others every day. This is also something incredible, but it is so pleasant and so my thing. Girls, thank you very much! I have lived every Goddess. I enjoyed every day — there was something different and unique about it. There is something I can take and something I can develop. The place is gorgeous. Wish the weather were a bit warmer — next time we have to conjure it in advance. I believe that it is not by accident that we all were here. I mean, at times I wanted to look at myself from the outside, to identify what is catchy and what I should work on. Some positive moments are very encouraging. You think, Cool, I have it already and this is great. Marina, I have put this down for you. Gosh, your ability to manage conflicts is a miracle! Yulia, you are just genius! You are so considerate and soft that it is very encouraging to be more and more open in the comfortable environment you create. Thank you very much!
