Inspired by a summer afternoon at Manduševac, where two Gen Z teammates tossed coins into the ancient well, expressing a wish from their heart.
You don’t need a coin. Just a moment. And a little courage to step away from the daily grind.
1. Step Over to the Well
Wherever you are, stop what you are doing for a moment.
Soften your gaze. Let your body settle.
You are standing at your own well now. You are here to listen.
2. Call Forth the Wish
Ask yourself silently or out loud:
If I could be anything or have anything, what STATE would I wish for?
What feelings do I long to experience? Is it contentment, freedom, joy, clarity...?
Let the answer bubble up from your belly, not your brain.
3. Feel, Don’t Force, Your Purpose
Your bubbled up answers are coming from your Purpose.
Your Purpose may not speak in sentences.
It might arrive as a sensation, a picture, a pull, a pause.
Let it come through in its own form.
There is no wrong way to remember your Purpose.
4. Drop It In
Imagine dropping this awareness into the well, as if it was a coin.
No need to explain it to anyone.
Trust that the wish has been made, and the water has received it.
Say silently or out loud:
I remember the wish.
I remember the why.
I remember my worth.
Your purpose is not out there somewhere. It's inside the well of your innermost being.
Here is a gift to inspire your own remembering: we’ve gathered images from our past trips to Croatia summer’s sabbatical, including the Manduševac moment.
