Tomasz, ‘Hero’s Journey’, Nowa Morawa 2025
I felt it was time to embark on this magical journey into myself again.
After seven years since the previous Journey, I feel like something has closed, a stage has ended.
It’s time to embark on a new adventure.
My soul is calling, but something in my body is holding me back, something is whispering in my ear, “You can’t do it,” something is constricting, blocking me.
Something is sapping my strength and saying, “What’s the point of all this?”
Something is taking away my joy and curiosity, and instead leaving me with fear and helplessness.
It’s my own shadow, which I haven’t noticed lately; I wanted to silence it. And the more I refuse to see it, the more it insists. The bigger the mark it leaves on my body, so that I can finally wake up and acknowledge it.
‘The Hero’s Journey’ is an extraordinary journey into myself, in search of my dark side.
Like a hero in a novel, I could venture into the unknown to discover everything that hinders me daily. All that whispers in my soul, ‘You can’t do it’, ‘You’re weak’, ‘Why do you need this?’
All that robs my body of the strength and desire to move forward and do something beautiful. Difficult, perhaps, but beautiful.
And now, after this magical Journey, I stand in my own strength, in everyday situations. With confidence and courage, and curiosity about what will happen. And this curiosity is a converter of emotions, from fear to excitement. From losing strength to joyfully starting the engine.
In ordinary, everyday matters, in the decisions I make dozens of times a day.
This conversion to curiosity changes so much in how I perceive and feel the world.
The first ‘Hero’s Journey was opening my eyes, the ability to see the path through the fog. The second ‘hero’s Journey is a careful look at what’s around me. It’s curiosity and the joy of discovery… and delight!
Warmest regards
