Nice sunny day - not even a cloud, St Petersburg is in a good mood today. Two cars one after another and finally the third epic one with the son of а Russian Orthodox priest who is fond of meditation takes us through the forest to The Place.
The first thing to notice is a big colourful sign "Welcome home" and naturally radiant smiles of the people saying "Good morning" even though it's about 7 p.m.
You get into the rythm very quick, and before you notice you are happily grating carrots in the common kitchen accompanied by the sounds of drums and flute. The food tastes divine after the day on a couple of cheese sandwiches and the common circle of people singing OM adds up some magic to it.
Living in the forest you understand how little we really need in life, and how many things the society and good marketing imposes. And damn it, sometimes it's pretty cool to be able to wake up in the morning, skinny dip in the lake and have a cup of fresh blueberry for breakfast.
People on the Rainbow are truly unique- anyone from old school hippies to yogis or just nature lovers from different cities, with different belief systems, different hobbies. Same kindness and good vibes.
An hour walk through the forest and I'm lucky enough to get a ride at the almost unhitchhikable road. And what a ride - straight to the city and with a 3 hour talk on personal development.
Back to "civilization", thank you Rainbow.
P.S. This Sunday the plane full of russian tourists will fly from Moscow to Cancun, Mexico and I will be on board.
