We shared ideas over meals and stories around the campfire. We canoed down the river as the sun was coming up and came back for cold showers and hot cups of tea. We planted vegetable seeds. We kneaded bread and cooked it on the fire. We drank Welsh apple cider in the pub late into the night. And we listened to a remarkable set of speakers who inspired us. All of this we did together, as we camped out in the woods and hills of Wales at the Do Lectures.
There wasn’t time for handing out business cards or checking the internet, instead there were hugs and plenty of dancing. We didn’t have an agenda, but rather we shared what we were passionate about with each other.
We listened to the sounds of the sheep at night and took in the smells of the tomatoes still on the vine. There was a sense of beauty throughout every experience of the four days. There was a feeling that we were all present.
I am so grateful to all the new friends that were made, the speakers who inspired us with their stories, and the organizers of such a remarkable event. You can see more photos here and I previously wrote about the Do Lectures with this post.
