Alex and Antje, who had come for an internship from Switzerland, departed.

Alex and Antje, who came to Japan from Switzerland in September and had been participating in the [As One Style Practical Training Program] at the As One Suzuka community for about three months, left for their home country.

During their three-month stay, they experienced a way of life like a big close-knit family, participating in the As One seminar and ScienZ School courses, and living together with the people in the community.

What do they feel after their three-month stay?

Alex.

I would like to become such a person who feels comfortable everywhere, because he can work with other people everywhere with a cosy heart.

This morning many people came and said goodbye to us. I was very pleased that Masako-san and Naoue came, too. I enjoyed it very much to see these two beautiful women. And to see how they enjoy life opens my heart.

Inside me I feel the desire to invite all these people to the As One seminar. But I know: when I really meet people, I get shy and uncomfortable and want to be alone and not talk. At the moment I am like that.

I would like to attend more As One courses to get to know myself better. I would like to come back to Suzuka for a longer time. Three months is just too short. And I would like to be able to understand and speak Japanese well enough to attend the courses.

I feel changed after three months.

Antje.

When I look back on the 3 months, many images and thoughts come to mind.

And what is going on in me now?

It is quiet. I am not really leaving, but continuing in another place. I am looking forward to reconnecting with the people of Switzerland.

The starting point is different now.

What do you think will happen if you don't set boundaries from yourself to others? What if I ask you for your wishes and requests and want to fulfill them? Can we speak honestly with each other or not?

I am interested in this type of family relationship. What kind of relationship do you have with each of them?

With Alex, I can talk about anything. We can go further from there, step by step.

I could feel the atmosphere here.

It is easier to move freely and explore when people who are already there go first.

I wish people from Europe could get to know themselves better in this environment.
