Your archetype is the perfect trip.

Discover youself in Nepal with us – our second home for over 15 years. This April 2026, embark on a life-changing two-week trek to Annapurna Base Camp, on a legendary plateau amidst the world's highest peaks.
This dinamic retreat is crafted to be a journey in three layers, transforming a great adventure into a profound experience:

The journey at a glance

A slow & deep immersion. Not a race.
Our carefully paced 14-day itinerary is designed for connection – to the landscape, to the group, and to yourself. We take extra acclimatization days and shorter hiking stages to ensure everyone thrives in comfort and awareness.
  • To Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) at a mindful pace. Experience the iconic slopes with experienced local guides, prioritizing acclimatization and presence over speed.
  • Sunrise & sunset rituals in the heart of the Sanctuary. Practice gentle Qi Gong with 360-degree views of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, and Machapuchare right from our teahouses.
  • Natural hot springs in Jhinu Danda. A well-deserved reward to soothe muscles and reflect on the journey in a stunning river canyon setting.
  • Evening circle. Qi Gong & The Archetype Game. Unwind with restorative sessions and engaging talks about the Five Elements
  • Cultural immersion in Gurung Villages. Stay in traditional villages like Ghandruk and Chhomrong, learning about local life far from the tourist rush.
  • The "slow trail" advantage. Our route through Bamboo and Deurali allows for gradual ascent, deeper nature observation, and reduced trail congestion.

Archetype game

The game has a secret language — the language of Ba Zi. It's a 2000-year-old "code" for understanding human nature through the elements. Discover the story behind it →
Ba Zi as the language of the soul. Here, we go beyond the elements. We will study the connections between archetypes, organs, emotions, and behavioral patterns. For example, a person of Yang Metal is akin to the large intestine; their power lies in the ability to "cut away the unnecessary," and the duality of their emotions resides between crystalline clarity, cold sorrow, and sacred resolve.

A group of strangers as a living field. On the trail, in shared daily life, in moments of overcoming, these archetypes will come alive. We will observe them in their pure form, without labels, in real interactions. Who purifies the group's space from chaos (Metal)? Whose flexibility flows around any obstacle (Water)?

The finale — a revelation. At the journey's end, we will gather to weave all the threads together and reveal our personal charts. We will see how the participants' archetypes explain the lived group dynamic, and how the energy of the mountains, channeled through Qi Gong practice, resonated within each of us in its own unique way.

  • My gratitude for unveiling horizons free from didacticism, for boundaries both supple and even translucent.

    To read a map with generous latitude is a privilege reserved for those whom fate has endowed with depth.

  • I regret only one thing: that this was not done before. Perhaps many things would have unfolded differently. Yet, on the other hand, everything happens in its time; it seems the moment of truth has arrived.
    In truth, you spoke with clarity and specificity, but I am glad it was not framed as a formula for "eternal bliss" or advice of the "wear green and drink kumis" variety—I feared such platitudes, which leave one feeling confined. Here, instead, there is a sense that the ball is in your hands: you choose how to play, when, or whether to play at all.

    Some revelations were jarring, yet now I grasp the roots of my own obsessions and hope to navigate life with greater ease, armed with this understanding.

  • I wish to express my deepest gratitude to Konstantin for his enlightening Ba Zi course. Thank you for sharing your profound wisdom with such generosity! Konstantin is not only a master of his craft but also a person of remarkable warmth and depth. I feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from such a teacher. Now, I eagerly look forward to continuing my studies under his guidance, applying this knowledge to enrich both my own life and the lives of those around me. The journey has only just begun—I cannot wait to dive deeper!

  • I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Konstantin for the profound Ba Zi consultation. His explanation was both thorough and accessible, and I deeply appreciated how he began by illuminating the foundational principles of Ba Zi as a system. What struck me most were the astonishing synchronicities revealed—moments where I had simply thought, “This is how life unfolds,” only to discover that so much of my experience is intricately woven into the very fabric of my chart.

    I was equally grateful for the thoughtful, personalized recommendations on balancing its energies—practical yet deeply resonant. To say I am in awe would be an understatement; I will undoubtedly revisit the recording of this session many times to absorb its insights fully. Thank you, Konstantin, with heartfelt thanks 🙏. I eagerly anticipate continuing this journey of learning, and I am certain these teachings will guide me in nurturing not only my own path but also the lives of those around me.
