About me

My Ancestors

My knowledge of being a descendant of Poles from central and south-eastern lands of, currently called Poland, is based on the noted family history of 5 generations back. There is no record of my people earlier on. I acknowledge my ancestors’ experiences connected with history of partitioning of Poland in 1772 until it ceased to exist as a country in 1795, WWI, WWII and the totalitarian regime until 1989. I acknowledge all they survived during their conspiracy engagements, Warsaw Uprising battling and concentration camps atrocities. In this context, I feel I am Their living miracle. Carrying this heritage borne longing for a light-spirited feel of my people and hope that maybe it wasn’t always that bad. Perhaps at the time, it was an unconscious attempt to counterbalance and support healing of all that in me. Being brought up in West Africa, where my parents sought refuge in a safe life on red soil, I was privileged to start recuperating from all the inherited ancestor burdens. 

 

I was also far away from the ongoing totalitarian oppression still present at that time on Polish soil. African lands that beheld me since I was 2 years old, planted their blessings that I still hold in a sense of belonging over there as strongly as I feel I belong in current Poland. When starting Ancestral Lineage Healing I felt that my both belongings finally land well and have found a comfortable space in me. From this place, I started connecting to Spirits of both Lands and I look forward to developments in these relationships.

I learnt that my people are from the Caucasus, north Baltic Sea and the Middle East Red Earth Peoples. Through relating with my Guides from healed lineages I’ve been shown my ancient ancestry and now have some history catching up to do. I am in apprenticeship with my People with regard to the medicine they hold.

 

My first roots

My childhood and teenage years lived in West Africa brought me a natural sense of diversity in all areas of life. I observed how my parents strived to create so much produce from scratch, in order to have a least flavour of how life could have been in the Polish culture. Their work borne bread baking, cheese & cold cut making and clothes tailoring that became a vital part of home. There was a daily tending to ensure we have access to water and electricity which both were often scarce. Along with Polish community there were many other nationalities or ethnicities that sought refuge in a peaceful life on African land. I grew up among people from ethnicities of Nigeria, India, the Philippines, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Jemen, Serbia, Croatia, Nepal and some others.

I was infusing with abundance of practices originating from various cultures when I played and studied together with friends.

On a daily school assembly, in a time slot for prayer we had a separate moment for honouring the Muslims, the Christians and then a silent minute for the Others. My friends and I used to pray in both religions that were recited and it was with a natural respect. Today, I still remember the Muslim prayer.

Being exposed to so many cultures, nationalities, religions and races, I assimilated a non-verbal knowledge of comprehending incoming subtleties and acting adequately towards others with a prior consideration of what may be dis-respectul or offensive cross-culturally. I did not speak much. I observed and painted. And most of all, I absorbed everything from my surrounding not knowing what a fundament I am setting for the future. It was only in adulthood I recognised, how much I see, feel and am able to acknowledge. As long as I remember, words have been too shallow to express myself.

Growing new roots

When coming back to Poland to continue my studies, I was looking forward to staying here for good. Having missed my grandparents for years, my longing to be closer to them expanded into a longing to be in my place and to belong. But during my adaptation process in the long months of winter, I found that as much as I am able to live in an African, multicultural environment I find it challenging to be in the Polish one. And that was mainly triggered by encounters of prejudice, judgement, no tolerance for being different and no smiles on peoples faces. The struggles of fitting in were also unconsciously loaded with my ancestral heritage deriving from war atrocities and later living on suspended breath during the totalitarian regime. Quite quickly, I became a seeker of methods and frameworks which could support healing myself and my family. I exercised all findings that resonated with me and layer after layer I initiated internal repair work that unnoticeably rippled out to my reality.

When my beloved children came to life through me, I became even more determined and engaged to my internal work. Having looked into Their eyes for the first time and seen the whole Cosmos within Them, I pledged to learn through Them and nurture the potential They brought into this life. From the moment They came into my life, I began to look and try to see the world through Their eyes. This initiated many returns to my childhood experiences and unresolved problems that opened up for healing. Over 20-years, I was continuously studying various systems/frameworks some of which I applied, immersing myself in constant experiencing of their impact on my wellbeing. I became an Alchemist and later a conscious face of my Wise Ones – my benevolent Ancestors. My perception derives from looking at the surrounding realm and alchemizing it – it is my way of receiving and integrating the world with all the seen, the unseen and the unnamed.

 

I am fascinated by everything borne from Mother Earth that nourishes the senses and afirms life.

I am fascinated by depths, where I see with clarity and feel much more.

 

About me

My self-awareness derives largely from shadow work in context of relating to myself and others but also from identifying and consciously tracking alchemical stages of internal growth processes. Embodying the lessons learnt, acknowledging inner authority along with daily reverence and council with my Ancestors contribute to undertaking engagements that make my life meaningful and anchor my sense of belonging. My practice is based on ritual safety that I regard as paramount whenever relating with spiritual realm.

I support Folks who long for experiencing their growth more consciously and who desire to awaken their inner Healer. I support those wanting to connect with their benevolent Ancestors and experience lineage belonging, love and blessings flowing from them. 

Working with me supports awakening One’s courage to acknowledge self-uniqueness and to claim One’s space in the Sacred Web of Life interconnecting All on Mother Earth. When this happens there’s a readiness to be the driver in One’s life and the journey to fulfilling One’s potential begins. A Journey where standing tall in One’s agency, truth, internal strength and growth becomes a daily experience. 

I learn about myself through experiencing the Other

For 20 years, I worked in a corporate environment where I was responsible for my institution’s relationship with it’s strategic capital- group clients. A job strongly focused on achieving constant acquisition, growth and higher financial results. I observed how careless handling of humility within others, disregard for solutions that satisfy all interested parties, lack of inclusivity, supremacy, psychological violence and misuse of corporate values around empowerment and equality to manipulate an eligible self-positioning, serve as tools for achieving goals. I experienced how such working conditions can be disempowering and detrimental to wellbeing. Becoming drivers of new, negatively impactful, behaviours. I felt how those work mechanics can influence putting on different masks to appear as someone aligned with superior’s expectations. I noticed that this negative influence lands particularly well when one longs for receiving recognition, acknowledgement and finding authority, in the outside world. When determined to fit in, those aspects of the self that don’t match, get exiled. Among many, sensitivity and vulnerability, get hidden behind survival strategies. Gradually, one’s exiled aspects are forgotten and one roots into an illusion of belonging to a group of people or status. Masks that were worn integrate and sink deeper into the self so the boundary between who the self was and what role it took on, diminishes. But the Soul remembers who the Self is. While the Body registers discrepancies between behaviour and one’s essence. These discrepancies usually take form of cumulating tensions in the body which sooner or later tend to seek balance through release. Living out of alignment with one’s truth, potential and destiny brings turmoils which may manifest as health detriments. When those are investigated, it is often revealed that the chosen way of life is one of the causes of that detriment.

But the choices and causes may also encompass family patterns that are carried from ancestors and replicated by the living with biological loyalty.

Unresolved childhood experiences and those inherited from the ancestors are stored in our unconscious and in our body cells. This mechanics protects our nervous system and sometimes, saves our life. Children lack resources to process trauma derived from “bad things or good things not happening to them” (G. Mate). With maturity and development of adult tools within the body system there comes a time of “download” from the unconscious. This may happen in response to triggers from the outside or by the body’s awareness that the individual is equipped to handle the past experience.  I experienced that approaching change as a stable adult, employing mind- and soulfulness, one’s able to awaken the healer inside. This opens to healing one’s life cumulated unresolved trauma and trans-generational pain. It opens one to hear the soul’s calling and gather courage to say “No, I don’t want this anymore…” and “I want my life to be more meaningful…”. The journey of healing the little one and the teenager begins and soon it seems there’s no turning back. An abundance of healing methods out of the many I applied helped in my realisation that they can be efficient only when taking responsibility for one’s life. Grabbing the wheel in the body’s driver seat, acknowledging my internal authority to serve as my compass and my soveignty and agency’s to weave my further path are the first steps to take. My corporate story concluded with a farewell and gratitude for the abundance of gifts and challenging lessons. I am thankful for the wonderful Beings I encountered during that time and for guidance of my benevolent Ancestors. This story built the path I am on now.

I support and I share my experiences 

I witness and support Others in the winding paths of their professional and personal lives. I believe everyone of us incarnates to experience their own uniqueness. We are equipped and resourced better and more relevantly than we can ever imagine. Unfortunately, over many centuries, humans have been creating life conditions that support homogenization and ‘moving with the crowd’. Recognising our own Essence is becoming more of a challenge. Because of so many deficiencies borne from disconnectedness to Earth, benevolent Spirits and Ancestors, we have so much longing for belonging, unconditional love and acceptance. For this reason many dive into communities they hope will be nourished, often to find people numbed with similar pain. In conditions of such illusive relief, we are unable to see our genuine uniqueness, recognise our Essence and gifts.

By way of taking responsibility of oneself, one’s choices and readiness to feel we open the possibility of internal healing work. It is a journey of big effort and one which often gets worse before it gets better but rewarding in self-discovery. It also brings deconditioning from patterns received when being brought up according to societal norms and in the “civilized education system”. I have found Human Design to be very efficient on my deconditioning path.

Human Design is a science of body mechanics that elaborates on uniqueness of each human being according to the potential imprinted 3 months before and at birth. It consolidates the wisdom of astrology, I-Ching, the Brahmin Chakra System, theTree of Life (Kabbalah) and Quantum Physics. Human Design provides a lens through which I observe myself and my relationality with others. Applying a radical approach has re-directed my path to living my uniqueness without shame and self doubt. When these appear I look at what’s distracting me.

Human Design speaks of me as a 4/6 profile projector with emotional authority. My engagement derives from being recognised and invited. Among many nuances, I am here to:

– combine intuitive depth with repetitive experimentation in order to achieve mastery of skill and systems, to share and guide with,

– listen, witness and reflect on deep truth in history, stories, experiences and inexperiences, to guide on what requires fixing because it longer works in the collective, 

– support to the highest benefit of community, bridging individuals in reciprocity and with place of seeking wholeness.

“Silence is a practice of emptying, of letting go. It is a process of hollowing ourselves out so we can open to what is emerging. Our work is to make ourselves receptive. The organ of receiving is the human heart, and it is here that we feel the deep ache of loss, the bittersweet reminders of all that we loved, the piercing artifacts of betrayal, and the sheer truth of impermanence. Love and loss, as we know so well, forever entwined.””

“There is no growth without real feeling. Children not loved for who they are do not learn how to love themselves. Their growth is an exercise in pleasing others, not in expanding through experience. As adults, they must learn to nurture their own lost child.”
