ARCHERY. ENERGY, BALANCE, EMOTION
What if this experience was a chakra?
MANIPURA - I DO. The solar plexus chakra. Strength, personality, power, determination.
Build your arrow, sling your bow. Feel the force, release the energy.
There is something ancient and super-adrenaline-pumping about this experience, which is pure activity but also meditation. It is archery as you may have never experienced it.
Because it is not a race. It is an immersion in a space-time bubble.
Let's go to the Dügn clearing in the heart of the Gambarogno Riviera.
In Magadino at 176 Cantonale Street, there is the workshop of expert archer Marco Nussbaum, ready to explain how to build an arrow with your own hands, to guide you.
Good. Now that you have your arrows, it's time to try them out, not far away, at the Dügn Archery Society's shooting range, just a few minutes from Habitat. You're right in the woods, in nature.
And it is you, your bow, your arrow, your target.
Which is not an animal-we deeply respect animals-but its representation.
There are dozens of life-size 3D silhouettes in the clearing: chamois, deer, marmots, an owl-even a boa and a dodo.
The instructor explains shooting techniques. How to get into position, how to shoot the arrow. Be prepared.
"Inhale, exhale as you stretch the bow and, with your last breath, let go of the string and shoot the arrow. It is liberating."
