The story of the villas in our area
After the stories, we jointly integrate the values of the country and its archetypal features
Along with the dance, we will revive the energy of the fairy in every movement
The workshop is imbued with interaction, fun and gamification in which the emphasis is on personal connection with our heritage and Slavic mythology
This workshop will help you to:

What do the participants say at our past workshops?
IVA SILLA, AUTHOR AND HOST OF THE SECRET ZAGREB PROGRAM
Ancient stories, timeless symbolism and a look deep into yourself in the interesting company of other participants, with the harmonious guidance of two magical women. The fire workshop awakened the dormant flame of primordial mysticism and placed it in today's world as if it were its most natural environment.
HELENA ČIČAK, MEDICAL BIOCHEMIST
I also attended other workshops with other topics. Speakers sometimes fail to maintain the concentration of participants and sometimes their speech is monotonous. This is NOT the case with you, all credit to the 3-hour maintenance of concentration and good public speaking. Most important of all, it really shows that you love what you do. I appreciate the effort.
ANDREJA KRENEK, NARRATOR
The workshop is interesting, inspiring, inspiring and just opens my heart, and that “aha” moment that happens to me is fantastic (usually, why my grandparents did something like that). Thank you!
TIJANA LUKOVIĆ, ILLUSTRATOR
Christina and Lorena are very eloquent, interesting and inspiring. They created a very relaxed atmosphere of the workshop with a lot of information that is not easy to find.
Dresscode?
Yes, we also have a dresscode. Since this is a special event inspired by our myths and fairytale atmosphere, villas and the great Slavic goddess Mokoš in such a unique location, it is recommended that you dress fairy, gentle and feminine .
A dress or shirt is definitely out of the question, and white is the fairy’s favorite choice.
Who guides you through this journey?
Kristina Vlaisavljevic
Graduated manager in culture at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade with a tourist guide 's license dedicated to the interpretation and management of cultural and natural heritage.
For the second year in a row, I am launching nature tours on the theme of legends and myths, and recently I have been creating audio stories with the same inspiration.
I finished a fairy tale storytelling seminar with Jasna Held , the only professional fairy tale narrator in Croatia.
I was involved in folklore as well as folklore workshops for tourists over 10 years , which through dance and music brought me closer to the national heritage and ancient cultural values.
In my free time I love to stare at the trees and breathe the mountain air.

Once upon a time in Croatia
Graduated producer at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb and trainer of "soft" skills whose focus is the research of Slavic mythology, cultural heritage and the development of storytelling skills.
As a soft skills trainer , I have experience in conducting interactive educations that include 4 types of learning based on the following questions: “why?”, “What?”, “How?” and “what if?”, with special emphasis on the topics of presentation skills and storytelling .
I "honed" the role of host in an adventure called " cruise manager " on boats on the Adriatic coast where I led guests through a seven-day trip giving them a sense of security and connection with the beauties and cultural and natural heritage of the Croatian coast.
I danced ballet and Latin American dances with an emphasis on salsa and bachata, and I also worked as a salsa fitness trainer.
When I’m not researching myths and fairy tales, I like listening to gramophone records and dancing barefoot in the grass.
