I have a need to share my experience because it was wonderful and it still is. I thought I was going into this story without expectations because my life was pretty fast-paced and I didn’t have much time to research where I was actually going. I thought I was going to be completely open to the experience but in fact, it was only after I experienced it that I realized which thoughts I entered it with. Regardless of the fact that I did not research, I had a great prejudice and aversion to the whole story because of fear that it was a sect, I thought someone there will convince me of a story for 5 days and brainwash me. I wasn’t even aware of that prejudice because I like to consider myself an open person, but I guess no one is completely.
Five days in Gorski Kotar in a fairytale environment of untouched nature with 9 complete strangers turned into an indescribable and unforgettable experience. The beauty of simplicity, of being, of feeling that I don’t need anything and that I can do everything. After all, I can only say that I am a little ashamed of my prejudices, but again, I guess it’s human, and I’m just a person at the end of the day, too. And that’s also just my thought 🙂
The love that complete strangers can give you is indescribable in words. The feeling it gives you to be in the moment with these people doing absolutely nothing I would describe as freedom. It’s the word that best describes it, although it’s not that, it’s something much more. Darko is wonderful in his way of conveying his experience. There is no imposition, “brainwashing”, we don’t have to do anything and the magic happens by itself and all problems and stories disappear and life becomes just life. Beautiful, as it is.
