Svetlana's video testimonial about the Priestess workshop in Bali, 2019 · Watch on YouTube ↗
Svetlana came from Miami, Florida, to the Priestess workshop in Bali in 2019 — her first experience with Maya Mandala. In this short video she says the workshop "totally exceeded my expectation," and that she will definitely come back and return for more seminars. What she names as most valuable are the spiritual practices she can carry into her everyday life.
Svetlana's account is that of someone arriving for the first time, with no prior experience of the practice. Her first words are about how far the experience went beyond what she had expected — and her immediate conclusion is a decision to return: she will come back, and to more seminars. She frames the value of the journey in terms of discovery, and recommends it to anyone considering the same step.
What stays with Svetlana, she says, is practical: a set of spiritual practices she can use in her everyday life. She describes it as something she "really needed," and that she received it there, at the workshop in Bali. It is a simple, grounded note — an experience abroad that becomes something to live with at home.
"I'm coming back to more seminars, and I highly recommend anyone to take this journey and discover themselves."
Maya Mandala is a practitioner and teacher, creator of the Mandala Dance method, and leader of programs on working with the body, awareness, and self-discovery — including the Priestess workshop, today known as Higher Abilities. Her seminars and retreats take place both in Russia and abroad.
