Dive deep into the world of myths, fairy tales and Slavic folklore so that your soul will rise to the surface and show you the meaning of all the colors of your life
On that journey I help you through
Inspired by the book "Women Who Run with the Wolves"
A podcast that brings you closer to myths and fairy tales, your creativity and imagination
Do you know that fairy tales and myths were originally intended for adults, not for children, in order to navigate them psychologically and morally on their life's journey?
Namely, these universal, archetypal and timeless stories carry an essential message about fundamental human conflicts and patterns, and because of their eternal relevance, they are a valuable resource especially when we are confused, overwhelmed or lost.
Therefore, take a look at their other side of interpretation and deepen your understanding of their hidden symbolism.
Knock-knock, it's Lorena, storyteller and interpreter of myths and fairy tales (read: I "translate" their symbols, characters and motifs into everyday language). I stand behind the world of Once Upon a Time in Croatia. I'm here to help you look at the other side of myths and fairy tales and with their help you understand and accept all phases of your life, connect with folklore and ultimately find a personal definition of "being yourself".
I am naturally a researcher and dancer at heart, a lover of alternative history and culture of ancient civilizations, and I am in eternal search of new knowledge. And as a Sagittarius and a born optimist, I believe in a world of unlimited possibilities and freedom of expression.
I am being treated for a syndrome "good girls", "people pleasing", perfectionism, and eternal intellectualization and being (only) "in the head". I'm on my healing path found fairy tales, myths and folklore as true medicine for my soul and a signpost that directs me towards a life that is completein accordance with me.
Hi, I'm Lorena, educator, interpreter of myths and certified moderator of women's circles, and since the summer of 2020 I've been creating the magical world "Once upon a time in Croatia" which brings a view from the other side of Slavic mythology, fairy tales and folklore
A producer from Zagreb who, as a child, wanted to be a florist, ballerina, archaeologist and ethnologist. A lover of ancient fairy tales and myths, which I consider personal teachers of my life journey, which I build in accordance with my wishes and dreams. to share my passion and need to delve deeper into ancient stories and connect with souls I share the same wavelengths with.

Guest appearances at cultural events, manifestations, festivals and conferences
I love visiting various cultural and artistic events where there are good vibes. There, I gladly translate my love for Slavic mythology, mythical creatures, fairy tales, archetypes and folklore into interactive creative story rooms and workshops for children and adults.
So far, I have had the honor and pleasure of attending Perunfest in 2021, 2022 and 2023, Days of Slavic Heritage, Forest Farm, InBook in Vinkovci and the 6th Storytelling Conference in Varaždin.
The guiding thread of my guest appearances is a personalized approach to each new opportunity and the audience I will meet there.
