Un'esperienza meravigliosa, rilassante, che ha fatto bene all'anima, al cuore e alla mente. Mi ha fatto conoscere nuove persone e riscoprire amici di vecchia data, mi ha donato serenità che mi mancava da tanto. Le persone si muovevano in punta di piedi, parlavano a voce bassa e sembravamo tutti uniti dalla voglia di vivere una bella esperienza insieme, anche se non ci conoscevamo. Lo staff è stato fantastico, coinvolgente e delicato nell'approccio. La voce guida rilassante e la musica insostituibile e adeguatissima al momento. Unico inconveniente la corrente spingeva le lanterne tutte a riva Spero tanto si ripeta ancora🫶
