The most surreal experience for me was witnessing the sunrise on a plateau called Table Land. Like many others, I was not witnessing it for the first time but the whole idea of experiencing the transition after a long time, was fulfilling. Everyone was strolling across the plateau, pondering and getting in touch with their solitude. In those brief moments, our hearts and minds had become more lucid than before.
Among other talks, the one on identifying our Life Sentence was enriching and helped a lot of us to identify the way we treat ourselves. Also, I always looked forward to the Silent time- a 15-minute period where nothing but soothing music took care of us. To conclude, a multi-faith prayer was conducted where everyone recited prayers from their faiths. This was one-of-a-kind experience where I felt that all the verses somehow struck the chord with me.
All the activities, tasks and expeditions had one thing in common – they induced a sense of calm to our chaotic minds. This journey might not have answered all of our questions but it surely opened our eyes to a different definition of success where inner calm is the real goal.
