A few words about me

OUR STORIES

"There is an answer to both the dark and the light. Humanity lives in a circle, together... Why don't we meet? We need to find our common ground. We came from the same place. Lightness, darkness. We are the light. Our light helps us love our dark side."
"People don’t like to speak about their feelings. It’s easier to show with photos. They are loaded with true emotional forces, the camera is able to depict that which is not visible to the eye."
"Choose life, choose life. You hear the wind talking to you, there are poppies, there is beauty that speaks to you."
"My grandmother just died. She is there, and I am far from there. It would be so good to fall to my knees, to cry, to scream. But I can’t. I walk silently, but my footsteps thump. I'm transparent, and I have tons of weight."
"My inner garden in the light of the rising sun."
"My Everyday Vision."
"Life is unfair!! My brother couldn't wait to retire! He was full of big plans and died a day before his retirement! F***!!"
"It would be nice to rest in myself... And not be the guard of my own prison..."
"Self portrait. This is my past."
"Self portrait. This is my past."
"Self portrait. This is my present."
"Self portrait. This is my feature."
"I’m looking for new perspectives and creative solutions."
"I have no peace today. At the beginning of the quarantine, I thought I would miss the theater and museums. But I didn’t. I craved the sunlight... The green color is the wind. It's windy today. Not good."
"This is me. In the place of my soul there is emptiness, darkness."
"This picture helps me express the Loneliness."
"The boundary of our world is not distant, we keep peering into another world from the corner of our eye."
"Peace of mind. This is my power. Let go of things that are not meant for you."
"My family. It's weird, but it's mine. It's like a fairy tale from which I would like to fly, but I can't because the window is closed."
"The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination is anxiety." - Deepak Chopra
"I photographed my own soul. My soul deserves to be shown in intense color and to fill the space."
"The eye does not see the same as the heart..."
"This is my story. And what about yours?"
"There are words that are irrevocable. There are actions from which there is no evasion. We must accept responsibility."
"My relationship is like a spinning dance. Sometimes we get closer, sometimes further away from each other. However, it is very important that we both hold on to each other, otherwise we will fall apart. I can only do all this easily and with pleasure because it is really beautiful."
"Difficulty, commitment, faith."
"The most important rule is to be true to myself... What is holding me back?"
"It was good to be quiet. The silence didn't bother me, it was fine. It was fine to be with other people in silence. How long ago we forgot this. We don't allow silence in our lives..."
"I was afraid that I would fail, that I don't know anymore, it's beyond me... And what if it really turns out that I don't know? - It didn't turn out.. I failed myself before.."
"There is a novel on every single photo. My novel: Freedom is a state of mind."
Our Stories Art Studio
My sister, for acceptable reasons, tends to be very stressed and nervous. Since we started the group sessions, she sends me a mandala drawing every day. She said that she felt that she found relaxation in the drawing 🙂 She works for an Austrian family, where she takes care of an elderly man with Alzheimer's. They drew together today.
Ilaha
Wow Magda! Your presence is intense, magical and profound, I am always excited to see how you manage to "touch" with emotions, like a brush in the hands of a painter. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Marcella
Magda is a sensitive and receptive guide, with her assistance I found the place where I could get more familiar with myself, I could explore my own reality from other perspective. It gave me new tools to discover myself and provided a safe and warm space to share and discuss some of the most essential questions of life.
Marina
It was a very productive experience for me to work with Magda. She helped me to open some „unexplored doors”...
Robert
Your presence and working together are invaluable to me. You give me precious words and ideas... as well as your closeness and love. All of this is very important to me.
Simona
I am endlessly grateful for your sensitivity and ability to enrich me with the most appropriate words. Sometimes I don't even have to look at you, because I know you've already noticed what I feel.
Christina
I was lucky to work with Magda at a very critical period of my life. I came to a point in my life where I questioned everything that I believed in, including myself. Pieces of art created during therapy helped me to explore my emotions, understand the roots of my unresolved emotional conflicts, and lead my life more consciously.
Eva
Magda being firm and compassionate made a positive change in my life. Her strong desire to help, truly made a positive impact in my everyday life.
Sarah
The presentation of Magda was very practical for me. I took the "choose a tree that describes you" method to the Bartók Conservatory, for 9th grade children, and it was brutally good. Indeed. No doubt, it was worth participating.
