The swing of the Voikku

The first week of camp was over quickly. It was great to go back to camp and meet many acquaintances again and meet new people. I waited for the camp to start all spring and knew I needed this camp for myself. Above all, the camp would once again be an opportunity for me to give time to myself and my greatest passion: creativity. At the same time, I knew I had the opportunity to find some sort of balance in the midst of all this chaos. I just found a suitable book for camp for smahsbook. It was just the right size for me to take it with me wherever I went. For this book, I started building a camp this summer. For the smahsbook, I went through the camp materials from previous years and found something there that I definitely wanted to use this year as well. So what better way than to build a section in a book: something old. And of course for the Harmony retreat, I had to reserve some space for the smahsbook because Retreat was a little left for me in the wi...

The Harmony Reatreat was the first camp to be held in the winter. The Harmony Retreat provided an opportunity to calm down and get to know yourself. That's what I really needed.  For once, I had to have time for myself and use the time to get to know myself.  Everyday life and reality just was something completely different than I originally thought. The Harmony Handbook consisted of three parts: soul, mind and body.  Through these three categories, it was meant to reflect on issues related to oneself. The platform for the retreat was a lightened version of the camp map, which was already familiar from Camp wanna Craft, but there was no cabin or opportunity at the camp.  So actually, I could, to some extent, compare The Harmony Retreat to a retreat of silence for my part.  I was always asleep when things in common happened, so they all passed me by. I tried to watch the broadcasts as a replay, but with varying degrees of success.  The change i...

It's been a while since Camp Wanna Craft. I'm in early autumn returned to the camp many times and moods reflected on all of them , with whom I came to have spent time in the camp . Even though my camp mates were around the world and I used to use English, I felt I was part of something bigger. I stayed in a cabin of coffee around the campfire camp and had the opportunity to experience it in the best company possible. During the camp I got to participate in different lessons and try new things. I was able to sit down with others and play different games. The word game, which always continued with the last letter of the previous word, was probably one of our cabin's most popular games. We also played a big cushion war and compared words in different languages. Best of all! Coffee, tea and hot cocoa were almost always available. Together with my cabin mate we had to wonder how to get the bear out of the cabin. We tried to lure her away with the hijan...

I began to remember the camp of last year. I noticed my head was hitting almost empty. I remember being in the camp and following camp camps and watching camp sites. But I don't remember what I did in the camp.   I remember at the beginning of the camp I was in a big scout camp that took the forces completely. I remember crying in that scout camp earlier than any camp earlier. Or was the scout camp at the beginning of The Camp Reset or was it at the end? Actually, I don't remember that anymore.  I remember my pain in the camp with the Handbook. I didn't get any grip on it. I couldn't use a handbook and the size seemed quite wrong. I remember making a new menu for the old one and decorating it fine. I remember participating in a sing a long broadcast and doing foot baths. I remember how the camp was looking for treasure and we got lovely coloring pages. Of course I needed help to find them too, because I didn't understan...

I attended The Camp Resert International. At first I didn't know where I had put myself in, but I was looking forward to seeing what it was really about. The camp was an interactive camp organized by The Re set Girl, where weekly challenges were made. The camp theme was selfcare and the camp lasted throughout July. There were eight challenges during the camp and the challenges were in four different areas, although they were strongly related. The first week's theme was self-care planning. Challenges for the week were two: selfie planner and habit tracker. Selfie planner did not open up to me properly throughout the camp, but I still did not give up, but I went to make it purely my own. That's how My story was born, which went along with the whole camp, and every day I try to raise a new topic about myself. Habit tracker was used to monitor daily use of time. It challenged me to put the phone out of hand and reduce the screen time and, in addition,...
