WORKSHOP / LECTURE
Your own Kilimanjaro!
Your own Kilimanjaro! About the short talk “Kilimanjaro is a kind mountain if you follow the protocols” How can the modern world take in the wisdom of the words and way of life of Hakuna Matata and pole, pole? The mountain of Kilimanjaro is used as a metaphor on how to take control and be in control of your own life, set a big goal and reach it only to learn that the biggest success was not reaching the top of the mountain! The value of unplugging yourself from the modern world and connect with yourself far from everything in the heart of Tanzania, Africa! Going up a mountain is only half of the journey; the mountain has not been conquered unless one is safely down again. Like going down the mountain, how is it to come back to the modern world and still be connected to yourself and not to be distracted by the demands of society.
