The closing seminar was held at Mitzpe Ramon. At the end, in an emotional conversation, the participants shared some of their feelings from their Co.Lab year experiences, a moment before work began on their connecting initiatives and they joined the alumni family.
We invite you to read and understand a little of Co.Lab’s ability to move and influence, and especially how privileged we are to have led such a wonderful group throughout the year. Thank so each and every one of you!
“… I gained two things on this journey: myself and you.”
“… if there is a right place to undergo a process of self-discovery, then it is Co.Lab.”
“… the ability to remain speechless and leave it at that.”
“…my identity was strengthened, tweaked, my pride in my identity was reinforced. I am now completely at peace with where I am.”
“… I learned that it is possible to become annoyed, get angry, and love. You caused me much discomfort. You moved me out of my banal and very stable place. I entered the process happily and with my eyes wide open and this discomfort led me, after a journey and processing, to a place of peace and comfort.”
“… you taught me how to be fire. Not to choose between light and burning, but to be a shining light. It is only here that I learned to be a wise, touching, and warm fire. I learned a lot about myself and underwent a very significant and very difficult journey with myself. I learned that I can be free but wisely, that I can be passionate and have dreams and lead them. That I am not alone on the journey. You taught me all that. You are people who can be trusted; your good intentions can be believed, and do things together.”
