we are the woods

We Are The Woods was a niche nature retreat/festival of the Czech art scene. Over the weekend we slept in tents and hammocks, walked the woods, sat for lectures about forest and permaculture, witnessed several performances and, for the most part, immersed ourselves in the beautiful wilderness and near-total silence. The meals were only cooked with fire, the electricity for lecture presentation and screenings came from the sun, the herb-infused water from the local well, 70 meters deep. I only took out my camera a handful of times but managed to capture some of the highlights.

joga reset

Such a trip deserves a blog post... Joga Reset was organized by Joga Jana, Moc Głosu (The Power of the Voice), and Cici and Alicja of Średniak, the mountaintop home and retreat. It took me a while to go through all the pictures, because that weekend was something really special. We practiced yoga every day, took part in various workshops, walked the hills, valleys and forest, ate delicious vegan meals and meditated among the unspoiled wilderness. Have a look at this visual diary of my time up the mountain. Full documentation on Janek's facebook page.

summertime outback

Right now I’m glued to my computer, but this summer I had a chance to spend a week in the Polish countryside, in the Lublin Voivodeship, the far east part of Poland. So I came up with this #throwback blog post, as I'm both literally and figuratively stuck in the city. Imersing myself in nature, while for a little longer entirely separated from the wildernes.

#tbt: mountains look better with snow

Spring hasn't fully sprang yet, and I'm back to winter in my head today. A couple of shots from my last winter escapade with Piotr - delightful!
