Thank you sincerely for this creative, life-inspiring space! Grateful to all the wonderful, artistic ladies for the great company! Wishing everyone inspiration and a good mood!

Fund Center
I really enjoyed it, especially the work with the psychologist and the beautiful scenery. Everyone is so different—it’s great for socialization, and there were lots of emotions. 
Artem
Children’s Camp
When you're in a like-minded environment, it energizes you. Thanks to this course, I realized even more that this is my calling, my true work. It gave me the hope I once desperately lacked and a strong push to keep going and not stop. 
Sofia
Writing Course with Art Therapy Elements
I didn’t believe that 21 days of working with psychologists would change anything. But I was wrong. Here, they told me I was mistaken for keeping everything inside. You’re always afraid. You don’t allow yourself to cry in front of your children. But here—see? I’m speaking, and the tears are flowing. I deeply regret torturing myself and my children for so many months. 
Victoria
Camp for Women with Severe War Experience
I remember how nervous I was. At the first meeting, we started crying: each of us felt exactly what my mother was trying to express, sharing her feelings. Later, we laughed more and more often, sharing funny moments of life with the children. We have created a safe environment here, and it is unique, and I am sincerely grateful for it!
