Events

A place where you can just be yourself.

Creative Gatherings, Retreats, and Golden Hours — three ways to stop watching yourself for a while and just be, among women who get it.

Creative Gatherings

Step off the carousel of everyone else's needs, even just for a while

Creative Gatherings are for women who want to see themselves differently — in the company of other women, over food and conversation, with a photo session that changes how you look at yourself.

The photos below are from one of these gatherings.

Retreats

A trip you come back from different

How many times have you gone somewhere "to relax" and come back more tired than before you left? Sightseeing on a schedule, photos for your feed, a smile in every shot — and underneath, the same exhaustion you had before you got on the plane.

The retreat I run has a different goal. It's not about seeing as much as possible. It's about feeling more — yourself, the other women around you, the place you happen to be in. You learn about yourself not from theory, but from experience: a new place, new people, situations where you don't have your usual masks on hand.

The program includes a photo session and subconscious work — but just as much, relaxation, fun, dancing, and food nobody's counting calories over. Getting to know yourself doesn't have to look like another item to check off your calendar. Sometimes it looks like an evening of dancing with women you didn't know a week earlier, who suddenly know more about you than half your friends from school.

You come back with photos that mean more than a regular souvenir from a trip — and with something you can't fit in a suitcase.

Golden Hours

An evening without business cards

Do you feel like every conversation you have lately is a little bit of a performance? Like even over a glass of wine you have to make a good impression, convince someone of something, or explain what you do within the first five minutes?

Golden Hours are for entrepreneurs. But they're not about business.

These are evenings for women who spend their whole week running businesses, making decisions, solving problems, handling clients, money, people, home, and a million things in between. And then comes the moment when what you actually need isn't another networking event, another mastermind, or another conversation about scaling your business.

You need to sit down with good food and something to drink, with women who know exactly what your daily life looks like — and for a few hours, not have to handle anything.

We can talk about what's pissed us off lately. What went well. What went completely wrong. What we're proud of, what we're sick of, what we're missing, and what we'd like more of in our lives.

No business cards. No pitching. No wondering whether the woman across from you could become your client.

Could friendships, collaborations, referrals, or joint ventures come out of these evenings? Probably. But that's not why we're here.

Golden Hours are for entrepreneurs. Just, finally, not about entrepreneurship.

After a whole week of handling everything, you get to stop handling it for a while.

Friday, October 9, 6:00 PM

Attending is free. Everyone just pays for what they order on the night.

Sometimes, I'm the guest

Sometimes I join events I don't organize myself — as a co-host or a guest.

Piękna w Sobie | A Women's Weekend Near Vienna

November 20–22, 2026, Deutsch-Wagram, with Ela Regina Pałęcka

Three days at Ela's home near Vienna — a workshop, Ayurvedic rituals, good food, and the company of women who also want to slow down for a while. And somewhere in between — a portrait session, because a true look at yourself is easiest to catch exactly when no one's in a hurry.
