Bound with nature

Mundekulla is a community that offers workshops and spiritual retreats. Is a tiny piece of heaven in the woods that gives you the opportunity to connect yourself with nature. From meditation and barefoot strolls into the woods to work in the garden and reforestation.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Walden, Henry David Thoureu.

You can take the body away, but not the spirit, you can remove Alexander Supertramp's camper, but not the meaning of that place. You can undress me, but you can't see my soul.
You can spend all of your life looking for ambitious jobs, dresses, golden rings, but those things won't make you happy. You can't bring them in the next winter of your life. Give yourself, your mind, not your things. Be curious, say thank you to the Earth for your ''daily bread''. Experiment the soil, dirt your hands. Thank you for this piece of land, thank you Mother Earth to let me see you without blushing and to let me understand when you feel exploited. Thank you to be patient, still and wise.

From the swedish words Munde (world) Kulla (hill) The world on the hill. A reality, sheltered from the outside world, that changes your routine. I lived there and helped as a volunteer for 3 months, taking photographs of all the creative, sustainable and spiritual activities. The place and the soul of the peolpe that live there, naturally brought me to apprecciate many of the irrational things I was once afraid of: loneliness, darkness and silence. Beyond my personal growth, Mundekulla pushed me to go deeper in the knowledge of the cultivation of the land and to love every piece of it. This thought slowly takes its form with time by first experimenting the bound between human being and nature through photography.
Among those people, hands and soil there are my experiences, emotions and freedoms that are a mirror of my current mood, that is a true love for the nature; the wish of showing the earth with respect and commitment. A hand driving a tree into the soil for the first time, a woman dancing under the rain, a hand gently touching the soil and a girl hearing the sound of the wind. As well as conveying the love for Nature, the project wants to celebrate the value of little things.
We went down to the city for ''evolution'', but we forgot how to be humble. We should reeducate ourselves to the simplicity, to be careful at the products that we consume every day. We should educate our kids to stay outside and breath fresh air, taking mobiles off of them and before talking about plastic and recycle issues, we should learn to dirt our hands in the soil. Is a long way, but nature is patient. We should slow down all of this evolution and cut some comforts off our lives. In small steps we can change our routine and enjoy the sunset.
