For many years, I lived the way most people do — with a head full of thoughts and plans, a heart full of fear and helplessness, and a reality full of constant attempts to fit into the world just enough to make my plans happen and make the fear go away. I believed that if I simply did what I was supposed to do, I would eventually understand the meaning of it all. But despite the many, many, many things I did, life kept tying my plans into knots, taking away what seemed certain, and throwing me back into the same loops and patterns. Over time, it led to a range of emotional and psychosomatic health problems.

The therapy I began — which turned out to be a years-long journey — opened the door to a world I had always considered the least important: the world of my emotions. That was the beginning of a path that continues to this day. Working with my emotions became a path of awakening — a way to understand myself more deeply, to meet my own sensitivity, which once felt like an obstacle but revealed itself to be a gateway. This path led me — and still leads — to extraordinary teachers whose words have become light along the way. I began to create — to write, paint, design, and give form to what I felt. And then, one night, came a dream that gathered the entire process into a single act of grace.

It wasn’t an ordinary dream. It felt like an encounter with something more real than anything I had ever known. I woke up with a sense of profound peace, the kind that cannot be put into words. I felt that I am. Simply. Without the need to prove, achieve, or fix anything. And that this is enough.

Since then, I have been walking the path of mindfulness. I feel instead of only doing. I practice awareness every day, observe my thoughts, and release my emotions. I practice listening to the silence between thoughts. I am learning to feel life in its smallest expressions: in the smell of morning coffee, in the touch of fabric, in the gaze of another person. I have come to understand that everything around me can serve as a reminder of who I truly am.

This is how ZenZen was born. ZenZen as a space where the material world of everyday things meets presence. I create objects that are not meant to be “trendy.” They are meant to… przypominaćAbout the joy of creating. About silence. About inner freedom. About who I truly am. ZenZen is not a brand for me, but a practice. A daily reminder to remember who you are. Sometimes through a word, sometimes through a symbol, a color, or the texture of a fabric. Every object I create carries an intention: that you pause for a moment, feel your breath, feel yourself, and remember that you are whole.
