 RELATIONSHIPS   LOVE.UP  

.Relationships

Your life isn’t just about you - it’s also about those around you.
Learn to build relationships that nourish you, not drain you.
No games. No “shoulds.” No dependency. Just honesty, closeness, and the freedom to be yourself.

Weekly 120 minutes - a coaching session, a mini-lecture, and Q&A.

One of the three focus areas of an innovative project designed to bring meaningful change to your life.

Relationships shape our inner state

We can be professionally accomplished, but without emotional support, a sense of emptiness can arise. Coldness, tension, or constant conflict in relationships gradually erode confidence, motivation, and the joy of life. In contrast, support, acceptance, and a safe emotional connection give us wings.

We grow through connection - but we also get stuck in it

Relationships are a mirror. Through another, we come to understand ourselves - our reactions, shadows, wounds, and strengths. When awareness is present, relationships become a space for growth. When it’s absent, they can turn into an endless cycle of pain, resentment, and repeating patterns.

Conscious relationships are freedom, not limitation

True intimacy isn’t about dependence, control, or losing yourself. It’s when two whole people choose to be together - not out of fear, but from a place of strength. This kind of connection brings energy, inspiration, and the feeling of truly being where you belong.

Without healthy relationships, it's hard to feel safe

The feeling of “I’m not alone” is a basic human need. When the world around us is chaotic, uncertain, or constantly changing, relationships become our anchor. But if those relationships are toxic or unstable, they only increase anxiety. Building honest, reliable connections with others is an investment in your inner resilience.

Love doesn’t just happen - it is created.

Romance can ignite in a moment. But closeness, trust, and honesty require attention, conversations, and conscious choice. We often know how to work, earn, and achieve - but we haven’t been taught how to love mindfully. And that means it’s something we can learn.

.Why Are Relationships Important?

Relationships are not just an addition to life - they are a part of it.
They influence how we feel, choose, move forward, and even breathe.
That’s why it’s important to give them your attention:

.About the Program

This isn’t about movie-style romance or relationships “by the rules.”
It’s a space where you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself in relationships, learn to build healthy connections with others, and stop losing yourself next to those who matter.

Start date: on November 4 and takes place every Tuesday at 17:00 at Kyiv time  in a private Telegram channel.
After that - weekly 120-minute live sessions and ongoing support from like-minded people in the channel.

The training is in Russian, but you can also choose sessions in Ukrainian. It’s important to us to ensure your maximum comfort.

We do not accept applicants residing in or paying taxes in Russia or Belarus, as they finance the war in Ukraine.

  • You’ll stop living by someone else’s script - “how it should be,” “what’s expected,” “not to hurt others.”
    You’ll begin asking yourself honest questions:
    What matters to me in relationships?
    What boundaries do I want?
    Where does “care” end and self-abandonment begin?
    This clarity will become your anchor - in any relationship: with a partner, parents, friends, or children.

  • You’ll learn to express your feelings and needs without conflict, pressure, or guilt.
    This isn’t about “manipulation” or “saying the right words” - it’s about authentic connection:
    How do I talk about difficult things?
    How do I ask without fearing rejection?
    How do I discuss the vulnerable — without breaking the bond?

    life.up.university-learning-nonconflict-communication-and-genuine-connection.webp
  • You’ll learn how to protect your boundaries without becoming harsh, aggressive, or “difficult.”
    You’ll start to:
    - feel where you begin and where the other person ends,
    - notice when you lose yourself just to “keep the peace,”
    - and stop settling for less than what you truly need.

  • You’ll start noticing why the same stories keep repeating:
    Why do I attract emotionally “unavailable” people?
    Why do I choose those who “need saving”?
    Why do I shut down when things get too close?
    This awareness will give you the freedom to break out of automatic patterns and start building new, healthy connections.

  • When you understand yourself better, you can truly open up to another.
    Here, you’ll learn how to be close to someone without losing yourself; how to create trust, not control; and how to build intimacy that lets you breathe, not just adapt.

  • You are not alone in your questions, fears, and aspirations.
    Each live session offers real presence, support, shared stories, meaningful answers, and warm honesty.

.Who This Program Is For

This project isn’t just for those who have “relationship problems.” It’s for anyone who wants to build deeper, more honest, and more conscious connections - with themselves and with others.

For those who feel that something isn’t right in their relationships

Everything seems "fine"… but there’s no joy, no authenticity, no true sense of closeness. You don’t know how to bring it up with your partner or where to even begin.
This program will give you the words, support, and steps to stop settling and start creating real change - in yourself and in your relationships.

For those who are single and tired of “choosing the wrong ones”

You keep finding yourself falling for unavailable, distant, or “rescued” partners.
Each time begins with hope - and ends in disappointment.
This program will help you understand why you’re drawn to these patterns and how to rewrite that inner script.

For those who are always in their head, not in their feelings

You're successful, logical, and rational - but something isn’t working out in your personal life.
Closeness feels either too overwhelming or pointless.
Here, you’ll learn to trust yourself and connect not just with your mind, but with your heart.

For those who want to stay, but don’t know how

You're in a relationship, and many things hold you together: children, home, shared routines.
But there's no real dialogue, no desire, no alive connection.
This project isn’t “couples therapy,” but it’s a powerful tool for a reset - through questions, honest conversations, and new meeting points.

For those who don't know how to talk about their feelings

You're afraid of being a burden, feel embarrassed to express your desires, and go silent when things get hard.
Here, you'll gain the words, support, and space to start speaking differently - without blaming, shutting down, or losing yourself.

For those who are already on a self-development journey - but want to go deeper

You read, take courses, and maybe you're already in therapy.
Our project isn’t a replacement - it’s a complement and a deepening: through coaching questions, live sessions, and community support.
