In the summer of 2017, I followed a yearning to break free and immerse myself in a different way of life. This search led me to Switzerland. With a small group of people from different countries, I formed a temporary family. We worked and lived several weeks on a property called ‘Synergy Village.’ I made myself feel at home in this communal lifestyle, stripped of distractions. We created a place where connection and presence were central. The bonds we formed were profound but fleeting - a magical moment suspended in time, destined to dissolve as we returned to our separate lives.
