This did however result in a empty breakfast table at 9 o'clock. But it was good to see that everyone was sharp when we started our program at 10. 

After we did some energizers to get the day started we arrived at our first workshop of the day. A workshop about personal values and what they mean. Surprising to me was the fact that we all have so many different values that we find important. It makes us unique, which is fantastic in my opinion. As we wrote down our most important values on one paper it was became clear how different we our. It makes me even more proud that a project like this is possible. 

After this first introduction to values we were split in groups to do the next workshop. This time we were presented with a theoretical problem with 8 solutions. Depending on our look on a problem we chose different answers and talked about why we did so. Understanding a others standpoint is a very powerful tool, because it can make you change your own ideas in a very positive way! During this workshop we also had some clay, to express our creativity. 

After these more heavy subject it was time for some peace. We went out and had an fantastic medication session. The local who had traveled all the way to our accommodations was really able to move people during her session. It was very impressive to all of us and I think we entered a more stable metal state. 

After the meditation we had some time to evaluate on our own values. But also we were able to evaluate the project so far. We were send out in groups of two to explore the region around our accommodations. During the walk I personally had a great talk and reflect moment about this great project so far.

After the wall we had dinner! Today it was fish soup, not my favorite but it's part of the exchange I guess... 😉 

After a busy week we got the evening off to relax a bit! Sven, an awesome guy, has arranged for all of us to watch an interesting movie! Now that the movie is over I think it's almost time to sleep! It was a great day and I look forward to what tomorrow will bring.

Much love,
Loet

Every sound made me cry.

 

Feelings go to over well,

And pressure is still in my veins.

 

Darkly hours we meet our beds,

Everything’s seems to be nice to have.

 

Even in the sleeping in the bed, 

I felt the angst in my wrist.

 

Wake up, wake up, 

I dream in my brain. 

 

Then stand up 

and wash your soul

with warmly soap.

 

We settle restrictions that make no sense to all of us, 

Even if all most all of us are timely precise.

 

Ruin it all with lately thought

And hear the voice of punishing far away enough.

 

Be a Cartesian or the earthly wounded mind, 

and then float like a ferry 

on the shimmering river.

 

That’s why you see in the joy of pain 

every flickering reason in the brain.    

 

Now I lay on the nightly ground, 

Looking stars heavenly on the sky. 

 

Seeing deeply on the day in the trusting eye, 

It almost made me also cry. 

 

I saw one of us have alienly lively eyes, 

Even if there are also slightly bitterly eyes.
