WORKSHOPS
Workshop “The path of light and darkness“
Anyone who begins the path of developing magical consciousness eventually arrives at a set of profound questions:
- Who am I, really?
- What is my true nature?
- What path is mine to follow?
- Am I aligned with Light—or with Darkness?
But the real answer lies far beyond these familiar oppositions.
Light and Darkness are not enemies. They are complementary forces—two aspects of a single power working together to shape reality. Each has its own methods, its own tools, its own role. Yet both serve the same purpose: the unfolding of magic.
This workshop invites you to step beyond ordinary perception and explore that deeper truth.
Through immersion in the channels of the gods, ancient myths, and symbolic narratives—combined with clear logic and honest reflection on your own life—you will approach an answer that cannot be taught or given. It can only be remembered.
And once remembered, it changes everything.
This insight becomes a key: it reveals the underlying principles of your life, uncovers hidden patterns in the world around you, and shows you how you actively shape reality.
To live within your own channel means to stop resisting yourself. It brings a sense of clarity, inner strength, and quiet confidence—along with the deep satisfaction of moving precisely along your true Path.
This workshop is recommended for students of the Menshikova School who have completed the first course of the Main Department.
Duration: 4 days, 3 hours each.
Workshop “From Dream to Action“
What if the life you’re meant to live is already calling you—but you haven’t yet learned how to recognize its voice?
How do you distinguish a true desire from all the noise? And once you find it, how do you align your life with its deeper meaning?
The “From Dream to Action” (True Desire) workshop is designed to help you uncover that inner truth—the one desire that feels unmistakably yours. Like Ariadne’s thread, it becomes your guide: keeping you grounded, focused, and steady, even when the outside world pulls you in different directions.
Together, we will trace the story of your desires—from childhood dreams to adult ambitions—revealing the deeper pattern beneath them. Within these layers lies the core of your purpose: the quiet, persistent signal of your soul’s direction.
This isn’t just about discovering your true desire—it’s about activating it.
You will learn how to connect with it, strengthen it, and bring it into real, tangible expression. So you can stop drifting, start choosing consciously, and begin creating a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and fully your own.
Duration: 2 days (3 hours each day)
Admission: Completion of the 1st basic course of the Main Department (minimum 4-day foundational material)
Workshop “The Sixth Sense”
(A supplemented and updated version of the “Extrasensory Perception” workshop.)
This workshop invites you on a journey into the world of subtle perception and conscious awareness.
Through guided work with the etheric body and the sensory field, you will learn to truly listen to your body, deepen your understanding of both your inner experiences and the world around you, and begin to trust your own intuitive knowing.
Together, we will explore and develop extrasensory awareness as a tool for more conscious interaction—with other people and with the greater cosmos.
You will learn how to create clear and effective communication, recognize the genuine intentions of others, and discover simple, harmonious ways to navigate relationships and situations.
This workshop will help you to:
- awaken your inner sensitivity and awareness
- build a deeper connection with your body and self
- enhance your quality of life through mindfulness
- communicate and interact more effectively with others
- unlock your inner resources and move toward greater personal fulfillment
Admission: 1st Main Course ( 4 days) completed.
Duration: 4 days
Workshop “Taste of Life”
We invite to the Taste of Life workshop those who need:
— a deeper understanding and awareness of their personal activating mechanisms—the inner and outer elements that reveal and enrich Life more fully, making it vivid and engaging;
— practical exploration and enhanced effectiveness of their sensory perception.
This practicum will help you identify which of your personal qualities or attributes require further development in order to integrate all facets of yourself into a unified whole for meaningful realization in life.
Duration: 3 days of 3 hours each
Admission: completion of the 1st Main course (minimum 1-4 days)
Workshop “Tame the Pain”
Pain is an ancient and extraordinarily complex protective mechanism of consciousness, designed to preserve life. Yet there are moments when this intelligent system begins to malfunction. Then the very life it once safeguarded can turn into a living nightmare.
This means that pain may be used by the system as a tool of control, capable of confining human consciousness within certain limits. Magic, however, does not tolerate boundaries.
For true healing, magical consciousness must identify the energetic and informational preconditions underlying the emergence of pain, engage in corrective inner work, and redirect the full force of pain’s power toward creation. This is what we will learn to do.
Purpose of the practicum:
To master skills for increasing resilience to pain (calming the subconscious) and to develop the ability to focus attention on the energetic and informational causes of pain.
Duration: 2 days (3 hours each day)
Admission: 1 course Etheric Body (1st step) + “Augmentation of the Etheric Body”
Workshop “The Mirror”
Since ancient times, mirrors have been seen as more than simple objects. In myths and legends, they appear as gateways to other worlds, thresholds between truth and illusion, and tools that reveal what is hidden.
In many ways, human consciousness works the same way.
Your mind is a mirror—reflecting not only the outer world, but your inner reality as well. The way you see people, events, and even yourself depends on how clear that mirror is. When it’s clouded by fear, doubt, or limiting beliefs, the reflection becomes distorted—and so does your experience of life.
This workshop is an invitation to clear that mirror.
Together, we will:
- explore what blocks your consciousness from fully expressing itself as your true “I Am”
- understand why you perceive certain realities—and not others
- identify the inner patterns and filters that distort your view of the world
By refining your inner “mirror,” you begin to see more clearly—and, ultimately, to shape reality with greater awareness and intention.
Admission: Completion of the 1st basic course of the Main Department (minimum 4-day foundational material)
Duration: 3 days, 3 hours each day.
Workshop “Restoring the Power of Life”
This workshop is for those who seek to unveil another facet of their life force – a power that will lead you through any barrier and sustain you even in the darkest of times.
At least once in life, everyone has encountered a state of apathy and despair – a state when strength seems to drain away, interest fades, the world loses its color, and life grows pale, cold, and tasteless. When even the will to continue can feel fragile, as though surrender were the only possible relief.
Where does this resource reside – the one that restores vitality, breaks through stalemates, and becomes a true inner support in difficult moments?
Duration: 2 days (3 hours each day)
Admission: Completion of the 1st basic course of the Main Department (minimum 4-day foundational material)
Magical Keys in Literature
These sessions help participants develop conscious reading skills—learning to recognize the essence of an idea and the author’s original intent, to decipher the magical keys embedded within literary works, to perceive the manifestation of magical laws in books, and to cultivate the ability to form an independent opinion within a community of like-minded individuals.The program also fosters each participant’s unique creative potential.
Workshop “Uniqueness“
This workshop is designed to help you uncover what truly sets you apart.
What makes you different from others?
What is your innate, unmistakable quality?
This is not about personality traits or the qualities others notice and admire. It goes deeper than that.
We will explore the unique essence you were born with—the quality given by nature that is meant to be awakened, expressed, and brought to life. It is the key to realizing your “I Am.” Something rare. Something inimitable. Something that is entirely yours – your uniqueness.
This workshop is recommended for students of the Menshikova School who have completed the first course of the Main Department.
Duration: 4 days, 3 hours each.
Workshop “Fear of Being Yourself.“
This workshop introduces a focused astral body–cleansing technique designed to help you explore three key areas of your life:
- Physical well-being (body)
- Connections with others (relationships)
- Inner growth (self-realization)
Our subconscious mind often shields us from pain and long-standing emotional blocks. By gently working with these hidden fears, you’ll begin to uncover deeply rooted patterns that may be holding you back. This process creates space for meaningful change—allowing you to move forward with greater clarity and freedom.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize what needs your attention and develop practical methods to address it in your daily life.
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify what is preventing you from achieving your true desires and goals
- Release limiting beliefs and internal barriers
- Free yourself from emotional patterns that drain your energy and personal power
You can attend all three stages in sequence for a complete experience, or choose the topic that resonates most with you.
Admission: This workshop is recommended for students of the Menshikova School who have completed the 2nd course of the Main Department (4 days).
Duration: 1 day, 3 hours per topic.

Workshop “We be of one blood“
Before the world was divided by borders and nations, our ancestors lived in deep, unbroken connection with nature. Everything was part of one living whole—gods and humans, animals and birds, rivers, mountains, and stars. Within this unity, each tribe was guided by its Totem: a powerful ancestral spirit, protector of the lineage and keeper of its path. It spoke through dreams and instincts, through fear and strength—always guiding, always watching.
To hear your Totem is to remember who you truly are.
To meet it is to recognize your original nature.
It is the ancient force that lives within you—the rhythm in your breath, the pulse in your blood.
In this workshop, you will embark on a shamanic journey through inner and outer worlds, where life reveals itself through symbols and living images. Totemic archetypes will become gateways to deeper understanding, while Greek myths will serve as a map—left by those who once saw the divine within nature, and nature within the divine.
You will learn to recognize your natural environment and your personal “places of power”—spaces where your energy comes alive. You’ll begin to clearly distinguish your relationships within the world: who supports you, who drains you, and who challenges your growth. Gradually, you’ll see your life as an ecosystem, where every being has its role, purpose, and place within the greater design of the Earth.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
- awaken a deep, intuitive connection with the living forces of the Earth
- experience increased vitality and inner strength
- develop shamanic awareness and skills for navigating both human and unseen worlds
- learn to understand people and situations through the language of totemic archetypes
- establish direct contact with your personal source of power, reflected in the imagery of the Greek pantheon
This workshop is recommended for students of the Menshikova School who have completed the first course of the Main Department.
Admission: 1st Main Course ( 4 days) completed
Duration: 6 days per 3 h
