ABOUT BUDILNICE / AWAKENING EVENINGS
Currently held in person in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings are intimate live gatherings with a limited number of participants, creating a safe and meaningful space for connection and reflection.
Online Budilnice / Awakening Evenings in English via Zoom are in preparation.
If you would like to be informed when online or international editions become available, you are warmly invited to leave your contact.
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings are not traditional lectures or workshops.
They are an experience of hearing something that touches you deeply.
A message that awakens you.
Reflections that stay with you when you are alone with yourself.
I created them because, through more than 35 years of working with people, I have experienced that my words carry weight.
That the energy from which I speak is what truly reaches people.
I named these evenings Budilnice / Awakening Evenings after a conversation that followed one of my lectures, when someone said to me,
“Manica, you do not lecture, you awaken.”
That sentence stayed with me.
I speak sincerely, from within, grounded in life and professional experience, with clear intention and channeled insight.
About questions that are essential if we wish to live our time here fully and consciously, rather than simply pass through the years given to us.
Each evening begins with an opening reflection, thoughtful and direct.
This is followed by a guided conversation in a small group, within a safe and mature environment.
You may ask.
You may share.
You may simply listen.
There is no pressure and no expectation to reveal anything you do not wish to share.
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings are also a space to meet people with whom you share similar values and interests.
This is not a place for surface conversations or fleeting contact.
It is a space for people who choose to live their life fully and sincerely.
THEMES
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings are designed as a four part cycle that gradually deepens your relationship with yourself and with life.
Each gathering opens a new theme of inner shift. You may choose an individual evening or follow the entire cycle. Participants of the full cycle receive my book Libra as a gift.
EXPERIENCE
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings take place every three weeks.
Each gathering lasts two hours.
Each evening is independent and thematically complete. You may attend a single gathering or follow the entire cycle.
As every gathering is open, the group naturally forms. New faces are always present, while at the same time a familiar core of participants gradually emerges.
The evenings are designed as a blend of an opening talk, guided reflection, and open conversation. The intention is not pressure or exposure, but a space where you can participate at your own pace.
The essence of Budilnice / Awakening Evenings is that the theme speaks to you personally and intimately, touches you, and invites an inner shift together with renewed inspiration for conscious action.
There is no expectation that you must speak. You may share. You may listen. You may simply be.
Particular care is given to maintaining a respectful and safe space. What is spoken during the gathering remains within the group.
Budilnice / Awakening Evenings are grounded in mutual respect, maturity, and responsibility toward yourself and others.
