Justyn, ‘The Hero’s Journey’, Poland – Nowa Morawa 2024

Hi,

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I finished my “Hero’s Journey” and I’d like to share my thoughts. I went to these workshops not expecting anything, believing that my life was great and that I didn’t lack anything. My wife inspired me to take the journey and confront my vision of reality with the truth (I thank her very much for this inspiration) and so with an open mind and the conviction that I would “enter” everything 100% without complaining, I found myself in Nowa Morawa.

The first thing I would like to strongly emphasize is that it is a magical place, full of incredible energy and wonderful people. I felt very safe there, which encouraged opening up. I have never had so many honest conversations with so many people (and in such a short time). In this space I was able to meet people from many groups that my path would not normally cross – you can meet anyone – a CEO, an excavator operator, an accountant, a herbalist, a teacher…

It turns out that regardless of our origin, education, job or place of residence, we have very similar problems, needs, relationships with parents. In this amazing place you can safely share absolutely everything and be heard and understood. It is a wonderful feeling and I thank all the participants for this community.

The workshops themselves are simply impossible to describe – you have to experience it. Connection with nature, with yourself, cutting yourself off from the outside world, technology. I discovered things in myself that I had no idea about or had effectively denied. I am coming back from this adventure with a large package of things that I need to work on, but which I can already see and do something about. After returning from the journey, new energy flowed into my marriage, the lack of which I was not even aware of. I will only say to those who attended these workshops with me that my “relaxation” really surprised me.

The facilitators and assistants are wonderful, humble, sincere people with great empathy. You can see and feel that they put their whole hearts into this place and their work. Taking part in this adventure was one of the best decisions in my life and it will stay with me until the end.

Justyn
