“Music is like glass mirror, it reflects who you are; what you want to say – I understood something and want to talk to you about it today” – Ustad Bahauddin Dagar
Hindustani Classical Music has been fascinating me for quite some time now. My first encounter with it was during the 4th International Time Perspective Conference in Nantes, France back in 2018. Since then I have switched from learning the Turkish flute, kaval, to learning Indian bamboo flute, bansuri, but mostly learning about the whole new universe that is contained inside the Hindustani Classical Music and its theory.
I will be slowly writing up about a few things that I have learned along the way and during my few stays in India in my newsletter on Substack – https://creativetimestudio.substack.com/
My friend and colleague, Nikhil Ghorpadkar, pakhavaj player from Pune, Maharashtra, India, most likely will be in Copenhagen in the first week of June – and we are thinking to organize a little workshop, an introduction to the Hindustani Classical Music, where I would be happy to share what I have discovered so far. Do let me know if you would like to join this workshop – be it in person or online.

Running my private psychotherapy practice in Copenhagen
I specialize in transitions and endings, psychology of time and Balanced Time Perspective coaching and existential questions. I work in English and Russian, both in-person and online. I work with individuals and couples. Currently, I also work Pro Bono with people affected by the war in Ukraine. I have some availability – feel free to reach out.
LEARNING
This year in my Logotherapy and Existential-Analytical Psychotherapy course we have started the clinical part of the education. Spring modules were on anxiety. The September 2022 module was mostly dedicated to depression, how it is viewed in existential analysis. The November 2022 module will be on treatment of depression.
Looking forward to joining the group in-person in London!

How do I manage all of the above and a few things that were left out? I love working with my version of the bullet journal and I also follow my own medicine regarding taking the creative breaks.
I am available for giving workshops on:
Balanced Time Perspective and its role in Mental Health
Futurization: Images of the Future and Future Scenarios to develop sustainable attitudes and behavior
I would be thrilled to develop a tailored talk / workshop regarding time, creativity and your field of interest.
