Become the authority of your own life

Do you feel like you're living on "autopilot," while your true potential, joy, and Eros remain locked beneath layers of old defense mechanisms?

The School of Personal Development in Osijek is a unique cycle of transformational workshops. This isn't just theoretical learning about psychology—this is deep, experiential work on your personality through all six aspects of being: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, volitional, and energetic.

It is intended for adults who are ready to stop running from themselves and begin exploring the spaces within. If you want to understand your emotions, decode family dynamics, and recognize Eros as the life energy that drives your healing—you are in the right place.

What you will achieve through the cycle

Emotional maturity

You will become aware of suppressed emotions and the mechanisms you use to defend against them.

Return of authority

By integrating the split within yourself, you stop being a victim of circumstances and stand in your own power.

Creativity and pleasure

Releasing suppressed energy brings peace and authentic satisfaction on all levels of life.

Deep personal work

You don't just learn about yourself, you enter an experience that becomes embodied and stays with you.

What awaits you within the cycle?

Through 7 three-day modules per year, we combine top Western psychotherapy—EABP and Gestalt—with ancient energetic wisdom.

On whose shoulders do we stand?

The school's work is based on the work of giants who shaped modern psychotherapy and understanding of the human being.

We integrate teachings from authors such as: Gabor Maté, W. Reich, A. Lowen, C. G. Jung, B. Hellinger, S. Grof, J. Bowlby, F. and L. Perls, and many others.

Participants' experiences

These are the words of people who moved through their own process in the School of Personal Development, in their own rhythm and in their own way.

"For me, the School of Personal Development is a place where I connect deeply with my body, my emotions, and my spirituality together with the group. It invites me to act in line with what is alive in me in that moment, without embellishment or judgment. The group is there for me as support, and also as a challenge to be who I truly am, in front of myself and in front of them as witnesses of my process. I am happy to have met wonderful people with whom I share something deeper than what most people get to live in everyday life. Spending free time with people from the group fills me deeply and gives me strength for everyday challenges and responsibilities."

"I am very happy that something like this exists in Osijek too. I thought I knew myself, but already through this first year of the school I saw how much had been suppressed and hidden inside me, and how much joy there is for me in the process of opening, maturing, and growing. This school feels like a blessing to me. It encourages me to be who I truly am. Not to split myself into the good and the bad parts, not to run from the parts of me I do not like, but to accept all of myself. That acceptance has brought me peace and a much deeper understanding of myself and others. I am really looking forward to the next three years of growth and to spending time with these beautiful people who have become a second family to me."

"This school helps me find myself more and more. It draws out the best parts of me. I am getting to know my wounds deeply, and healing them. For me, the day I enrolled in the school marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life."

J.

"One of the best decisions in my life was enrolling in this school, a place where you learn how to support and be supported, accept and be accepted. Through body-based experiences you begin to see yourself from different angles, and through new insights you become more open and flowing. After the first year, I feel richer for having a group I belong to. With Gorana and Siniša, my life energy has started moving again, and this feels like only the beginning."

S.

"The School of Personal Development changed the way I look at life. Even though my salary was small and uncertain, I decided to enroll because I knew I would somehow find and earn the money for it. For me, personal development is daily work, just like brushing your teeth. Personal growth is hygiene for the mind, the soul, and the body. The best investments are the ones we make in ourselves, in our own development, because that helps us understand ourselves first, and then the people around us. Each of us has gone through trauma at some point in life, and if we do not recognize how it shapes our struggles, those same failures keep repeating. Individual work and group work have both contributed greatly to my personal growth. I do not regret spending a single cent on it. At the end of this first year, I can honestly say I have found my tribe, people I can always count on. I am grateful to my teachers and to my fellow participants, who had so much to teach me and helped me see patterns I could not recognise on my own. I am looking forward to the coming school years and to continuing this journey with my people, who mean more and more to me with each passing day because they have become part of me, part of my personal development. My people, thank you for existing. Nothing is random, including the fact that the 16 of us met in this school."

M.

"Sometimes you do not see what is right in front of you... or you do not want to see it. With a little resistance on my side and a great deal of support from people who matter to me, I found the courage to take that step and enroll in the School of Personal Development. Now, after completing the first year, I can say from direct experience that the world really does not have to feel like such a dangerous place if you are willing to look at it from a slightly different angle. It is not always easy, but what matters even more is that I have the support of my therapists and all those wonderful people from the group who make me feel safe and supported on the path of my own personal growth and development."
