Dive deep into the world of myths, fairy tales and Slavic folklore so that your soul will rise to the surface and show you the meaning of all the colors of your life
On that journey I help you through
A podcast that brings you closer to myths and fairy tales, your creativity and imagination
Which include the lecture "3 keys to the interpretation of myths and fairy tales" and an e-book on Slavic mythology
Do you know that fairy tales and myths were originally intended for adults, not for children, in order to navigate them psychologically and morally on their life's journey?
Namely, these universal, archetypal and timeless stories carry an essential message about fundamental human conflicts and patterns, and because of their eternal relevance, they are a valuable resource especially when we are confused, overwhelmed or lost.
Therefore, take a look at their other side of interpretation and deepen your understanding of their hidden symbolism.

Knock-knock, it's Lorena, storyteller and interpreter of myths and fairy tales (read: I "translate" their symbols, characters and motifs into everyday language). I stand behind the world of Once Upon a Time in Croatia. I'm here to help you look at the other side of myths and fairy tales and with their help you understand and accept all phases of your life, connect with folklore and ultimately find a personal definition of "being yourself".
I am naturally a researcher and dancer at heart, a lover of alternative history and culture of ancient civilizations, and I am in eternal search of new knowledge. And as a Sagittarius and a born optimist, I believe in a world of unlimited possibilities and freedom of expression.
I am being treated for a syndrome "good girls", "people pleasing", perfectionism, and eternal intellectualization and being (only) "in the head". I'm on my healing path found fairy tales, myths and folklore as true medicine for my soul and a signpost that directs me towards a life that is completein accordance with me.

Enjoy this exploration of the other side of myths and fairy tales - the original maps and wise guideposts of our lives.
Gostovanja na kulturnim događajima, manifestacijama, festivalima i konferencijama
I love visiting various cultural and artistic events where there are good vibes. There, I gladly translate my love for Slavic mythology, mythical creatures, fairy tales, archetypes and folklore into interactive creative story rooms and workshops for children and adults.
So far, I have had the honor and pleasure of attending Perunfest in 2021, 2022 and 2023, Days of Slavic Heritage, Days of Dubrava, Forest Farm, InBook in Vinkovci and the 6th Storytelling Conference in Varaždin.
The guiding thread of my guest appearances is a personalized approach to each new opportunity and the audience I will meet there.
See you at your place as a guest speaker and storyteller.

Do you want to treat your team to unique team building with a taste of Slavic mythology?
Your wish becomes a reality!
In cooperation with the Fairytale Forest, which is located in the heart of Međimurje, we designed 3 themed team-building events, the mission of which is for your team to connect more deeply with each other, get to know our cultural heritage, and at the same time hone presentation and storytelling skills. And all this with 100% play and creativity, and 0% creation of competition, because we want to create an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation.
Choose from these ideas:
-
" Slavic mythological market";
-
"Create a Slavic play";
-
"Women's circle with Slavic goddesses"
Remember that each proposal can be personalized regarding your additional ideas and wishes, the number of participants, and the duration of the team building.
