"Go back in time to your younger self and find something exciting! The journey to discover your true self begins."
The third Adult Camp was held on the weekend of October 5th and 6th. It was even more fulfilling than the last time and was a truly special time. Something I had forgotten was resurrected. There was a moment when something that had been left deep in my heart suddenly came out, and I felt like hugging myself and saying "I'm sorry." And I felt an incredibly warmth towards everyone who experienced it with me. Even though it was only two days, when I left, I felt like it was a small graduation ceremony.
As you can see in the picture, the weather wasn't that good, but thanks to that, I encountered a very rare frog. I was the one who found it! When I called out "Frog!", the guide chased after it with incredible speed and caught it. Apparently it is a rare frog that usually lives in trees, and it was the first time for the guide to see one on the ground, so he was very excited. I watched with a "Eeek" as one of the participants gently took it from the guide, and the woman asked me, "Do you want to touch it?" For a moment I almost said "NO." Well, I think I did. But I thought this was a challenge, so I gently put my hand out. This is the photo. When I tried it, I thought this little frog, which was quietly sitting on my hand, was cute. It has beautiful colors. It's an experience I will never forget.
After that, we had a lively BBQ dinner, and then a theater in the fantastic forest at night. This is also an unforgettable bonfire talk night🔥. As with the last time, I was the facilitator, but everyone's voices came out from their hearts. That's how I felt. I was really moved by this time last time too. This time, too, I was moved. I wonder if it was the presence of the bonfire in the forest that made me feel that way. I shared a time with everyone that made me think that people become their true selves when they surround a fire.
The next morning was the meditation session.
The rain finally stopped and I was able to meditate next to a small shrine to the local god.
The air is fresh, the sounds of nature are there, and you're surrounded by greenery - it's the best environment. I closed my eyes quietly in this luxurious space where nothing more was needed. It was a calm, pleasant time, as if I could see myself entering smoothly.
Through this experience, I felt that the atmosphere of this place that we were creating together was getting warmer and warmer, and we were connecting with each other. I am filled with gratitude to all the participants and staff. In the end, I felt like I was on graduation day, so that's what it felt like. The next time, we're probably aiming for around May 2025. We'll let you know when it's confirmed! Please come and join us!
