You know, I built this site with love — and a little with that feeling you get when you’re expecting guests and want everything to be truly cosy. Put the kettle on, bring out the jam (mine would definitely be mango), sit down beside you.
If it’s your first time here and not everything makes sense at once — that’s okay, there really is a lot here. Let’s figure it out together, I’ll help.
On the home page — four doors. Each leads into its own world, but they all live in one space: mine.
“Travel with me” — a world that’s already breathing. Here are the Himalayas: meditations born on a real solo trek, and an interactive oracle deck. Sounds of the mountains, a card of the week, immersion — you can look in for free, as a taste. (Meditations are in Russian only.)
“Art” — a gallery of my paintings in the neo-symbolist style. Series of works, the “Artistic artifacts of power” — Code of Spirit, Code of Lineage, Code of State — and a page about me as an artist. Open for everyone to see.
“The Volnaya Method” — my own system of working with attention, states and inner perception: learning the method, guided practices and personal work. This door is still opening — I’m assembling it with care and will tell you when it’s time to come in.
“The Power Behind Me” — a free interactive deck. Just draw a card — and hear its voice. No conditions, no payment.
You can add the site to your phone’s home screen — it will open like an app, without the address bar.
On iPhone: open the site in Safari → tap the “Share” icon (a square with an arrow pointing up) → choose “Add to Home Screen” → tap “Add”.
On Android: open the site in Chrome → tap the three dots in the top right corner → choose “Add to Home screen” (or “Install app”).
Important: this isn’t an offline app — you need the internet. But the icon is always at hand.
This is the shared living space of the universe. Here people share their intentions and path, their notes, their wins and their struggles. The feed is like a social network, only warmer: you can see posts from everyone who’s here, and you can write entries visible only to you.
To post and respond you need an account (free). What you tell about yourself in “Words about you” others will see in your profile here.
In the top right corner — a small profile icon. Tap it to sign in or register (email + password, nothing extra). If the icon isn’t visible — the entrance to your account is also in the site footer, in the “Help” column.
Quick access — shortcuts to what you’ve bought: you open it and land right in the content, without extra steps.
Favourites — everything you’ve marked with a heart: articles, paintings. Gathered in one place so you can come back.
My purchases — the whole history: what, when and for how much. One list across all worlds.
Settings — name, profile photo, changing your password, deleting your account. Also here: “Words about you” — a couple of lines about yourself that others will see in the Living Feed; “News from the universe” — a subscription to short notes about what’s new (a new article, painting, practice or section; no spam, by email, in Telegram, or both); “Others’ experience” — you decide whether to see others’ reviews and discussion: “Solitude” (just you and the practice), “Exploration” (selected reviews, no discussion) or “Community” (everything visible). You can switch at any time — it only affects your own screen.
To switch the language — the RU / EN button next to the profile. The interface is bilingual, meditations are in Russian only.
Without an account: the card of the week in the Himalayas world and the live sounds of the mountains — a free taste of the space, open to everyone.
With an account (free): the “Power Behind Me” deck and the Living Feed. Signing in lets your readings be saved and your entries and responses stay tied to you.
After a purchase: the full Himalayan deck with its spreads and the audio meditations. Access opens automatically as soon as payment goes through — and appears right away in “Quick access”.
Journal — my articles and notes: about neo-symbolism, about power, about what unpacks inside me along the road. Impressions — what people who’ve already been here share. You can open both from the menu at the top of the pages and from the site footer.
And not only if something has broken. If something looks unfinished, doesn’t work the way you’d hoped, or you simply have a feeling that “something’s off” here — that’s also a reason to write. The site lives and grows, and it’s exactly these little notes that help it get better. Your response is part of this space.
And if something doesn’t work, hasn’t arrived after payment or is glitching — write straight to my butler bot: @volnayalife_bot. The message will reach me, and I’ll reply as soon as I can.
