The second edition of Wondering and Wondering took place from 11–15 June 2025 and was another special gathering of inspiring thinkers, writers, and existential explorers. Around 25 participants came together once again from all over the world, creating a rich and inspiring international atmosphere.
It was wonderful to see familiar faces returning from the previous year, as well as to welcome new participants who brought fresh energy, creativity and enthusiasm. New projects emerged, new spaces for reflection opened up, and renewed vitality flowed through Lia, the silent circles, and our shared moments of search, reflexion and fellowship.
Beautiful emotions were created, connections were deepened, and a strong sense of community was felt throughout the experience. Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable journey.
