RIVER CURRENT
FREEDOM FROM ALCOHOL AND MATURE FEMININITY AND MASCULINITY AS FOUNDATIONS OF A SUCCESSFUL LIFE
We are delighted to welcome Mr. Robert Rutkowski – an outstanding therapist, mentor, and author – to the esteemed group of speakers. His presence is an honor for us and a tremendous value for participants. His voice, experience, and the truth he brings give this meeting an exceptional rank and authentic power of transformation.
This dual-themed meeting was created for those seeking truth, balance, and inner freedom. On one hand, we explore the mechanisms of addiction and the social role of alcohol; on the other – we dive into reflection on mature femininity and masculinity as the foundations of conscious living and healthy relationships.
In a world where alcohol often accompanies fun, escape, closeness – but also pain and loneliness – it’s worth asking a fundamental question:
What do I truly need to feel free and loved?
This gathering is an invitation to pause. To hear oneself beyond the noise of patterns and substitutes. To look at our relationships – with loved ones and with ourselves. And to rebuild them anew – consciously, maturely, from the heart.
