Ralato de los dias 25-26-27-28-29,


 





When we arrived in Isthambul, we met with Lucia and Simone who arrived from Israel two days before and shared with us their experiences, intuitions and inspired “new look” .
It was very interesting to see how similar are the experiences we all have and how important it is to share them to build together a new style of life.

In the evening we went to see Jonturk at his place and there we met 5 couchsurfing friends of his: two Russian girls, Nicolas from Chile and Ben from United States. It was important for me to see how each of these “not-ordinary” situations could give us the opportunity to speak about  Silo’s Message and could help us to move towards our intention.

On Friday we went with Lucia, Simone and Isabel to visit some beautiful Sinan mosques in the European side while Eduardo was dealing with some documents and Judith was spending some time with Julie who just moved to Isthambul and was setting up her new house with Husseyin.
In the evening we were all invited for dinner in their cute new little house and had a very joyful time sharing their happiness for the life they will start together and doing two very inspiring ceremonies to charge the place with positive energy.

The following morning Csefko arrived and we went to pick him up at the airport with Huseyin.
It is very interesting to see how each new person who arrives changes the energy of the group carrying new inspirations and good intention to the common project.
In the evening we had a very charged meeting at the Salita with lots of friends: Canan, Katibe, Yigit, Sibel who came with her boyfriend Bircan and Jonturk who came with Ben, his American couchsurfing friend.
Everybody seemed to like the light and cheerful atmosphere of the Salita so we continued our evening together first with nice  interchanges in small groups in various ambits of the house and then during our daily evening walk by the sea.
This interest people were showing in sharing time with us asking question and being emotionally opened  left a very positive sensation in me as if  a new part of project was starting because I could see the birth of an “ambit” in Isthambul .
As a matter of fact we could propose to have a daily seminary on the Golden rule to our new friends.
Sunday was actually a full day for me: full of positive emotions and in a very special “climate” because I experienced lots of intentions becoming true.
The night before we agreed with Mervan and Katibe to have the traditional Turkish breakfast together and they took us to a very nice “cultural” bar that looked more like a family place than a traditional restaurant.
These are special moments for me that give me the opportunity to deepen in the relationships and to show our friends that we don’t want to pass something to them but to share something with them.
We arrived home at 4 o’clock to start the seminary and we waited for our friends: Yigit , Meral and Canan arrived, so the room was full! We had 5 new Turkish friends interested  in deepening in the Message themes!
Meral, Mervan and Yigit helped us a lot with the translations because Canan and Katibe could speak only Turkish. It was so good and inspiring to reproduce one of Silo’s works here, dividing us in small groups of interchange as if we were in one of our Parks!
In some moments  I really wished I knew their language but that was the only difficulty I experimented!
When we went for our habitual walk by the sea that night we were all so happy about this new step!

On Monday we took a “holiday day” for ourselves and we went to Burgasada, a small island just in front of Isthambul, a very pleasant resort, really close to the city, where we could swim and rest! I found it very good to integrate the experiences of the previous days and to share positive views about the future of our project!
In the evening Katibe came to visit us, showing that she was already missing us and then Ana arrived to share  a nice meal that Eduardo prepared for everybody to wish a pleasant journey to Simone and Lucia who were leaving the following day.

Tuesday was a really pleasant day for me! I woke up with this inner feeling of being rich and grateful to life. I met Isabel for breakfast and she was in the same internal state! We went to a cultural café to write our notes and to share our comprehensions while breathing together the air of this city that we love so much! After a while Csefko and Julie joined us and shared the same good mood. And the day went on according to this frequency: we went out walking in the afternoon, discovering new interesting “bits” of the city and stopping sometimes to do our askings  and thankings.

As you can see “nothing” really happened …. It was living the experience of feeling  happy and to accept life as it comes without desiring something different from what we have!
