“Ithaca Journey came at the right moment for me. Now after I have learned to look inside me I have discovered my values. Those values help me to step forward and to be strong, to be a player in a team and adapt to the change or play the change. This journey wansn’t only about me, this journey was about me in the context of a fast developing world, where new thoughts, feelings and needs are appearing.”

“I had always been eager to live authentic experiences and when I received Steliana’s invitation with Ithaca Journey I said to myself: That is a challenge. I wanted to give course to this adventure immediately. With no phone connection, no internet, not TV it is the best place to connect with yourself. The rural scenery helps you a lot to go back to your roots, back to the basis. You can rediscover yourself and find out what your true values are. And it is not only the country side that helps – it is also about the people: the village people and the people from the Ithaca group. We all need this peace from time to time. It’s amazing to share life experiences with such beautiful people because you can learn a lot. Time here has a very generous dimension and it is the same with the space. I will take Ithaca spirit in my day to day journey.”

“I have started the Ithaca Journey here and now I feel ready to continue this journey of achieving goals and discovering values , guiding myself. I have learned that the only way I can be satisfied about my work and about who I am is if I put passion in what I do and doing what I like to do. “

This was an excellent “journey”. Steliana managed to make an excellent balance between learning about ourselves while connecting with a different world and have each day fun and adventure. This enriched my inner world and made me feel going back to experience more. I enjoyed mostly the way Steliana organized the overall agenda , by having a well thought structure, while at the same time flexibility to adapt each day by sensing everybody’s feelings. It helps to build up a really nice and warm team with the other participants. It was an unforgettable journey and I will certainly go back again.
