NeuroGraphica Basic User Course · Starts June 1

Drawing as a tool
for Calmness

The NeuroGraphica® Basic User course, taught by a certified instructor in the Netherlands. A beginner-friendly drawing method to shift your emotional state, quiet your inner critic, and give your potential the attention it deserves.

The method

What is NeuroGraphica®?

NeuroGraphica® was developed by Prof. Pavel Piskarev as a synthesis of art, psychology, and neuroscience. Through drawing, you work with patterns in how you relate to yourself and to others, your energy, and how you want things to be. Each algorithm guides you step by step, so you always know what you are doing.

It works because drawing engages the hands, and everything done through the hands has a direct connection to the brain. This process does not require artistic skill.

“We don’t just draw pictures. Each one is a solution to a personal task, during which a part of the psyche is harmonized and connected to the whole.” Pavel Piskarev, founder of NeuroGraphica®

From my own practice

What NeuroGraphica® gave me

When I went through burnout, I used it to rebuild my energy and find a new direction in my work. It helped me grow as an entrepreneur, to build a way of working I could sustain, and to understand how to do things differently.

When my mother died very suddenly, NeuroGraphica® helped me to go through grief. It gave me a way to let what I felt flow without shutting down or isolating, which is my default pattern under stress.

I used to be very hard on myself around mistakes. Through NeuroGraphica®, I built a lot of trust in myself and in my relationship with others. The understanding that everything can be worked through.

As a sensitive person, I absorb a lot from the people and environments around me. The method helped me become more of an observer of my own feelings and thoughts, rather than being pulled into them. I learned to regulate myself and bring more ease into how I work and how I am with the people I love.

Guilt was with me for many years. It made it difficult to take care of my own needs. Through this method, I learned to take responsibility for what is mine and give back to others what belongs to them.

Who this course is for

You spend a lot of time in your head

You would like more contact with what you feel in your body and in your emotions, to be more present and calm, to learn to slow down.

You are hard on yourself

You are more critical of yourself than you would be of anyone else. The demands you put on yourself are high, there is a lot of tension, and it is difficult to stop or give yourself a break.

Procrastination or self-sabotage

You have a clear wish to do or change something. You might even know what you need to do, but somehow you keep postponing it.

You journal or meditate, and keep noticing the same patterns

Awareness is a good start, but you want to actually change what you see. You are looking for a method that moves things, not just reflects them.

You are drawn to creative practice

But you haven’t found a method that fits into your life, that is simple enough to do regularly, and gives you a clear process every time.

You have goals and ideas about what your life could look like

Something is stopping you from moving toward them, and you want to understand what that is and have a tool to work with it.

What this course gives you

What changes

You learn to work with your emotional states

Not suppress them or be overwhelmed by them, but recognize what they are telling you and shift them when you want to.

You learn to change the patterns you already see in yourself

The same feeling in different situations, the same conflict with different people. You stop managing the consequences and start working with what is underneath.

You quiet the inner critic

The voice that says you are not enough, not ready, not doing it right. You learn to work with it through drawing, not by suppressing it but by understanding what it is carrying.

You find direction and energy again

When you feel low, stuck, uninspired, or unsure of what you want next, there is an algorithm for that. You work with what gives you energy, what you want to move toward, and how to get there using your own strengths.

You have a method for the rest of your life

A notebook and a marker are enough. Once you know the algorithms, you can work with any situation independently, without a therapist, a scheduled session, or the right conditions.

Certified NeuroGraphica® Instructor · Art Therapist · Ashtanga Yoga Teacher

I have been working as an art therapist since 2018. I studied at the Institute of Psychology of Creativity and received my NeuroGraphica® certification directly from the founder of the method, which authorizes me to teach the full Basic User course.

Before moving into private practice, I worked in HR, in high-performance environments where professional stress and the pressure to keep performing were ordinary conditions.

I am also an Ashtanga yoga teacher and co-run Take Practice, a yoga and art therapy studio in Veghel, the Netherlands, together with my partner Camiel.

I teach in English, Czech, Russian, and Dutch is in progress 🙂

Certified NeuroGraphica® instructors in the Netherlands who trained directly from the founder and hold authorization to teach the method are very few. I am one of them.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you enroll

I have never drawn before. Is this course for me?

Yes. NeuroGraphica® requires no artistic skill. Every step of each algorithm is clearly explained, and many participants have never drawn as a practice before joining.

I already do therapy or meditation. Why would I add this?

NeuroGraphica® is a self-coaching tool that is always with you. You do not depend on anyone’s availability, a scheduled session, or even the right mood. It is especially useful when meditation feels impossible to sit with, or when journaling brings the same thoughts back without shifting them. Many people who already do inner work find it a direct and practical complement to what they already do.

What happens immediately after I enroll?

You receive immediate access to the course platform with all video materials and can start watching and drawing right away. Supervision — feedback on your drawings from Natalya — opens on June 1.

What if I need more time to complete the certification?

The certification period is 1 month for the Complete Course and 6 months for Course + Mentoring. If you need an extension, it is available for a small additional fee. Your access to all course materials is lifetime, regardless of your certification timeline.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If within 7 days of purchase you have not yet submitted any drawings for supervision, you can request a full refund. Once supervision has begun, refunds are no longer available.
