What These Few Days Are About

“Fire made us dangerous. Gossip made us cooperative. Agriculture made us even hungrier. Mythology maintained law and order. Money gave us something we could all trust. Contradictions created culture. Science made us masters of creation. But none of them made us happy…” – According to world-renowned Jerusalem university professor Yuval Noah Harari, this summarizes the story of how we evolved from insignificant apes into masters of the world.

What if you spent a few days of your life free from the patterns dictated by well-established habits and expectations, just for the sake of experience? What if you faced your feelings, without prejudice or consequences? Would you be afraid? Afraid of what might happen? Try it! It might be worthwhile.

Let’s discuss 5 topics without caring who we’re talking to or what we’re saying, just speaking ‘from the gut,’ whatever comes to us. Are we, as humans, capable of this? I believe we absolutely are!

Let’s spend at least a few days of our lives freely, unburdened by societal expectations and the beliefs we’ve been taught, often presented as facts. 

We will model simple situations from life, observing and describing our experiences, and by the end, a story will unfold. Perhaps the story of our own lives.

Who Am I!

Dr. Gabor Maté would like the following sentence to be on his tombstone about his life: – This was more work than I imagined – he said during a lecture at an event in Budapest. A profound message!

The World in Our Minds – What is Truth

Do you embrace yourself, or do you conform to expectations? Is this reality, or have I just been taught that this is what I truly desire? Will this make me happy, balanced? Myself?

The Origin of Our Patterns – Our Addictions

How many things in your life do you do, decide, and choose without much thought, simply trusting your habits and patterns, things that once served you well for survival? You know what the result will be, because it always has been. Do you still need these patterns today? 

The Fear-Driven Mind

Emotions? I’d rather keep them to myself, letting stress, anger, resentment, procrastination, and the search for excuses take over instead. 

The thought of death fills most people with anxiety. We don’t like to talk about it, and we don’t really know how to deal with the idea of the inevitable end. Irvin D. Yalom, an American psychiatrist specializing in existential anxieties, has extensively explored death and the fear of it throughout his work. Irvin D. Yalom wrote: Everyone tries to cope with their anxieties differently, and to some extent, everyone seeks the meaning of life. For the soul, connection with others is always a balm.

The Whole Person – Balance

In his book ‘Are You Normal?’, Dr. Gabor Maté writes that the body and soul are inseparable, and what we consider normal is not normal for our health. According to him, illnesses are much more closely related to unprocessed trauma. It took him a long time to admit that he had caused a lot of pain because the traumas were still alive within him.

“The tragedy of life is that people don’t change” – Agatha Christie

 Afterword

Society, my mother, my boss, my partner, perhaps even my friends have specific ideas about my life, and perhaps I do too. Many people are willing to think about and work on what happens to them. For me, the most difficult moment was admitting my dependencies and the necessity of change. There are those who, despite severe symptoms, illnesses, and consequences, deny that they feel terrible, but those who are able to face the facts and are ready to overcome their fears – I now count myself among them. Discovering and confronting myself and my own life, that’s what I’m working on. Connecting myself with the world, and my own world with different people, and their world with that of others. The politician with the grandmother, the professor with the curious little boy, the downtown hustler with a priest, the businessman with the destitute, the doubter with the believer, or a famous person with someone waiting to be discovered. I want to listen, understand, accept the world, perspectives, and feelings of others! How can I do this? This truly interests me! I believe it helps me become the person I always wanted to be, even if I didn’t know it until now. This is my true motivation for organizing the Remek-Műhely discussions.

This program is not a training, not an education, not a therapy, it does not award credit points or a certificate of recognition, but simply a relaxation package filled with content and “real” people!
