About me
Nietuzinkowo began with a dream – spoken a little shyly, during a training course. I was talking about a place I would like to create one day. A place that is positive, easy-going and comfortable. Where I run personal development classes. Where you can stop, quiet down and get some distance from everyday worries.
I did not yet know that this dream would claim its realisation so quickly.
When this house appeared, it was not beautiful. It was worn down by time and tired. But it had something about it that could not be explained logically.
The joys of renovating an old house.
Only later came the collision with reality.
The scale of the work, the decisions, the costs – things I had no idea about before. At times it overwhelmed me. Renovating on a small budget was a process full of challenges, improvisation, learning and creating something out of nothing. Some things could have been outsourced, but I quickly had to roll up my sleeves.
I sanded boards, plastered walls, learned to use a power screwdriver, a drill and a jigsaw. Many things were made from reclaimed materials, not because it was fashionable – but because it was the only way possible. Today I can say it was quite a school of life. And a bit of a builder’s school too.
And maybe that is exactly why this house is not perfect. But it is real. It bears the marks of time and of the work of hands, including those of the people who helped me. Perhaps guests can feel it. That energy of heart and intention, put in so that it is comfortable and pleasant here.
I followed my heart.
This idea had been maturing in me even earlier – when I lived abroad. In the rush, the noise, the constant pressure. In a life in which it is easy to lose yourself. I missed simple things: a slower pace, home-grown fruit and vegetables, Polish meadows and mint in the garden. I wanted to live more the way I like – not just the way one has to.
Today this place is the answer to those longings. Here I feel I live more in harmony with myself.
The house is in a way a reflection of what matters to me. Of the way I am with people, the objects I surround myself with. How I listen. How I sense when someone needs a conversation, and when they need space.
What happens at Nietuzinkowo.
I am a personal development trainer by education, but I do not impose anything on my guests during their stay. I create space; for those who want to rest, and for those who want to go a step further.
Intimate personal development workshops are held here regularly – mainly for women. Meetings that help you hear yourself, choose a direction of change and release the obstacles, so you can live life to the full.
There are also creative activities, like weaving natural flower crowns or making incense from herbs gathered nearby, through which I inspire people to express themselves and be closer to nature and its cycles.
If during your stay you feel like it, you can also try individual work:
a transformational coaching session, B. Hellinger family constellations or an Access Bars session.
But nothing here is obligatory. You can come and simply be.
This house holds almost 250 years of history. I dared to add another chapter to it. And it is quite possible that the next one will begin with your arrival.
See you soon, Renia
