This.Is.Me.
In my element.

And yes, I love to be high. It's where it feels like home.

It's not really about adrenaline, i don't get much of that.
It's about gravity and space, wind on my skin, feeling of freedom and pure pleasure of existence in the here and now.

And it's about complete honesty with self.
How do I feel today? And how does my body feel today? Does the line call me? How about weather conditions?

Sometimes it goes and sometimes it doesn't. Every day is a different day.

The last 3 slides are a different day.

A kind of a day when I'll maybe give it a try knowing very well I'll probably end up just sitting there assessing the risk and finally give up.
But also knowing my soul will be satisfied anyway and enjoy the ride whatever that is on that day, not just because i gave it a shot but mostly because i did.not.push.

The best feeling is when there's nothing to prove - once when you're a master (of your own disaster 😁 and i sure do have skills).
It is a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll but it is a hell of a fun ride.

This was an absolutely gorgeous line rigged at the very special mountain Velebit by the members of @pds_velebit, @aovelebit and @slekcija in the honor of the 75th birthday of the Pds Velebit society. Much love and respect for everyone who came here before us and built what we have inherited 🙏🏽🪶

I've been hanging around and upside down for quite over a decade and a lot of it was really high. But this session on the highline at one of my most favorite festivals @blagajclimbingfest was the best in my life so far.
I have enjoyed it tremendously and beyond words. It was one of those moments when one just exists in the purest form of life itself, flowing through movement and air, feeling the wind on the skin, observing the tissue and its glow, in a state of meditation, present in the now, completely light and free from expectations.

And WOW the photos!! Not very often you can see photos of silks with so much soul and storytelling 🌹
Thank you @kombinaja for capturing this moment in such a special way

Huge thank you to everyone setting up the line, everyone organizing this beautiful festival - it's getting better each year ✨ taken in Blagaj, Bosnia Herzegovina by @anjavelika

at one of the best and to me the dearest festival @blagajclimbingfest that is coming up next week!!

This line was the most exposed I have ever been to. I had very special sessions both with silk and walking on it. It took some time to even decide if I'll continue with the silk session and this moment in the video is when I decided to go for it. Then it took some time to adjust equipment to feel safer. Because, out there, you're on your own and have to be brutally honest with yourself about your capacity, strength, skills and guts.
My friends think this is about adrenaline. I'm not afraid of heights so there's that. I love challenges. And I love the presence this places me in.
I love the space around me and I love the wind clearing my heart and mind.
So yeah, it's basically meditation 😁
But don't get me wrong, i do get scared too. This line was the scariest of them all. And the most special one.
Eternally grateful for my life experiences and people who make it even more magical. 💛

The highline in the canyon this year was absolutely phenomenal! We would like to thank all the amazing participants that rigged the highlines, for taking care of everything and reminded us how incredible this sport is. 🙏
As every year, we also held the HIGHLINE WORKSHOP: HOW TO BE SAFE ON THE LINE. The workshop focused on safety, covering essential techniques and practices for staying secure while walking the line. Participants learned about proper equipment, setup, and the best strategies to prevent accidents— led by @adinpinjo.
This year’s lines: 45m, 85m, 110m, 200m, - what a view, what a thrill!

Raj na Zemlji - to je ideja koja me vodi kada kreiram Svjesnu Uživanciju.

Na 5 dana da živimo ono kako ja mislim da bi raj na Zemlji izgledao.

Ljudi koji su opušteni, autentični, razgovori koji su duboki, iskreni, kreativni. Hrpa zdravog humora i osjećaj sigurnosti da je zaista svaka naša emocija, stanje, osjećanje dobrodošlo i slobodno da se izrazi.

Svjesna Uživancija je retreat za 35 ljudi za koje brine tim od skoro 20 ljudi 😆🫠

Ovo je mjesto gdje zaboraviš gdje ti je mobitel, kako izgleda i zašto si uopće provodila sate dnevno na njemu.

Ovo je mjesto gdje upoznaješ neke dubine sebe koji se ne mogu osloboditi u užurbanoj napetoj svakodnevnici.

Ovdje ne ideš na godišnji, već investiraš vrijeme i novac i sa namjerom dolaziš pokloniti si dar susreta sa sobom i životom kakav bi voljela živjeti.

Još zadnjih par mjesta je dostupno.
Komentiraj "uživancija" i stižu ti detalji 🤍🥰💛 taken in Rijeka Kupa by @anjavelika
