Confest: if you know what I mean .... 
January 6, 2011
Here I am in Melbourne, with twenty days today that I am in this city. The second largest city, the capital of art, fashon and trendiest of the country. A place to dream, if it were not for the six months a year of unbearable cold and another 6 months of temperatures that reach 50 degrees.
I arrived at a perfect time. December is the beginning of summer and the summer here, this year seems to pass for a beautiful and forgotten spring. The temperature is perfect, warm in the morning cool in the evening, a bit cold the first two weeks of my arrival.
The first day, as always, were used to bearings, know the city and used to the idea of \u200b\u200bliving for a time in a metropolis. Have the support of Ajit
with whom he shares the room I is also useful to take some vacation days to work and not think before they finish in the Christmas holidays. Thanks to Ajit I have the chance to see several interesting places.
The city I love in a special way, leafy, large streets, bars and bistros to immerse themselves in a Parisian style long and narrow alleys of the main streets in the center. The atmosphere is charmingly cosmopolitan. The boys and girls have a good taste in clothes, shopping malls are full of Christmas decorations in the English style of Harrods, with shop windows sparkling with lights and decorations full of nicely exposed to the public that floods the streets of downtown.
Definitely more interesting than Brisbane, Melbourne is recognized and I checked out the reputation, one of the coolest city in the world ... Poets, artists, painters, are here to inspire, to present, to be known and this leads to a ' wave of art and culture that you can breathe in the air walking around Fitzroy or admire the most beautiful sunsets at the beach walking along the seafront in St Kilda Road. Melbourne is a city that overlooks a beautiful bay, you can see the ocean, traveling an hour's drive along the Mornington Peninsula or the Great Ocean Road.
beautiful when you arrive in Sorrento and Portsea and you find yourself in the midst of breathtaking nature on cliffs overlooking a long stretch of endless sand, an ocean, crying his power through strong and high waves, which relentlessly moving to the rhythm gravity.
One of the most beautiful experiences I have experienced so far, and this includes the 9 months in Asia and CONFEST.
Confest is an event which is held twice a year, one during the holy week and another during the Christmas period, where thousands of people from across Australia, go to a place lost into thin air at the border with the state of Victoria (where Melbourne) and New South Wales (State of Sydney and Canberra).
We walk four hundred kilometers to reach the place where the earth Confest. The excitement is huge, say the friends who accompany me in this adventure, is an incredibly powerful experience. We start at 9 am from Melbourne and 5 hours of travel become 8 due to an accident that completely blocks a branch of the road and that forced us to take an alternative path greatly increasing the distance. We thus arrive at 5 pm on December 30th and the show before my eyes and just as I had imagined. A huge expanse of land with trees and shrubs and hundreds of cars and vans decorated with backpackers who tend to be desert camping dive space and give it life. Before assembling our tents we take a tour of inspection and we realize that the more comfortable, those in the shade or near the river, had already been taken, but as we had said during the car journey, our place there is waiting and will be the best because it was waiting to be occupied by us. The great land of
Confest is divided into several zones, each zone has a name according to the group. You can choose to stay with a group, in that case is a collection of ship's food and meals are eaten together, each member has a business within the group that can vary. This time we decided to drop the group and just stay for the facts and get into our groups when we would have really felt, in short, we wanted to live in a free and unconditional confest.
Confest is a community of people together to celebrate (party) and to discuss, talk, interact, participate in conferences (conf) or forum that the subsistence allowance, and organizes community where everyone is free to join or create your own business if you have something to say or do something you know. The people involved in the

fact, it was my first time to see me completely naked in front of other people and throw me into the river to bathe, or mud bath, as my mother did. The experience is amazing, the freedom you feel is indescribable, all the prejudices melt away, the fears, discomfort, the shame, because you know that no one will judge you or look at with malice. The atmosphere that you feel is that of a big family. Among the different activities there are of course yoga classes, daily forum on environmental sustainability, cooking classes, capoeira, dance, Aboriginal culture, music, including the sounds of healing. In a marquee meet a hundred people attacked the other one lying in enestasi hear the sounds that the group that runs the Create vibrating in a truly professional courses, copper bowls, gongs and other instruments that emit sounds heavenly, sounds that get into deep uprooted and are capable of the evils that we carry in our path vida. Many people during these activities, especially in this sound, they are taken so literally that sometimes feel endless sobbing as if they had released a huge boulder that kept hidden in their stomachs. The effect on me was a great relaxation, inner peace and balance that only with the vipassana I had tried before. The four-day
Confest Passaro quickly, but the soul is the essence of this event, the freedom that you breathe and love for the life you always bring me back.
