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 would be positive, easy-going, and comfortable. Where I could run personal development classes. Where people could slow down and gain some distance from the worries of everyday life.
I did not yet know how quickly this dream would begin to take shape.
When I found this house, it was not beautiful. It was tired and worn down by time. But there was something about it that I could not explain logically.
The joy of creating a place of my own.
Only later did I come face to face with reality.
The scale of the work, the decisions, the costs, and all the things I had no idea about before. At times, it was overwhelming. Renovating on a small budget became a process full of challenges, improvisation, learning, and creating something out of almost nothing. Some things could have been outsourced, but I quickly learned that I would have to roll up my sleeves.
I sanded boards, plastered walls, and 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 I could make it work. 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 many hands, including those who helped me along the way. Perhaps guests can feel it. That energy of heart and intention that I put into making this place comfortable, welcoming, and pleasant to be in.
I followed my heart.
This idea had been maturing in me long before the renovation began — when I was living abroad. In the rush, the noise, the constant pressure. In a life where it is easy to lose yourself.
I missed simple things: a slower pace, home-grown fruit and vegetables, Polish meadows, and mint growing in the garden. I wanted to live more in a way that felt true to me — not just in the way one is supposed to.
Today, this place is an answer to those longings. Here, I feel that I live more in harmony with myself and more true to who I am.
The house is, in a way, a reflection of what matters to me. Of the way I am with people, and of the objects I choose to surround myself with. Of how I listen. Of how I sense when someone needs a conversation, and when they simply need space.
What happens at Nietuzinkowo.
I am a personal development trainer by profession, but I do not impose anything on my guests during their stay. I create space — for those who simply want to rest, and for those who feel ready to take a step further.
Intimate personal development workshops are held here regularly, mainly for women. These are meetings that help you hear yourself, choose a direction for change, and let go of what may be holding you back — so that you can live life more fully.
There are also creative activities, such as weaving natural flower crowns or making incense from herbs gathered nearby. Through these experiences, I invite people to express themselves, slow down, and reconnect with nature and its cycles.
And if you feel like it during your stay, you can also explore individual work with me: a transformational coaching session, Bert 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 visit.
See you soon, Renata
