The paper presents empirical analysis of possible effects of participating in the author’s life enhancement master-classes and seminars of discovering existential experience. Original qualitative methods were used in the study: description of changes with subsequent content analysis and factor analysis of the categories, and visual method “Trajectory”. Both methods revealed satisfactory reliability, valid- ity and richness of content. It can be claimed that the effects of life enhancement work include changing the attitude to uncertainty and subjective expansion of per- ceived possibilities.
