Winner Experience: Discover your most mystical side with Ismael Cala
On March 2017, Jose met Ismael Cala at La Montaña Azul, one of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica, this is his dream experience!
Jose, a latin-american expat based in Canada, traveled from one of the coldest territories in the world to live a life-changing experience in the middle of a tropical paradise, La Montaña Azul, a retreat center located in the wilderness of Costa Rica.
Jose entered Cala’s charity sweepstake on BidAway, the online platform that offers unique and exclusive experiences with celebrities to support good causes, and he was the lucky participant who became the winner of this amazing experience. However, it’s important to mention that each of the participants contributed a lot to Cala Foundation’s cause and their leadership and vocational programs for children and young people from latin-america.
This experience meant a lot to Jose because Ismael Cala has always been his role model, and after years of trying, he finally got the chance to meet him and had a once-in-a-lifetime experience that changed his way to see the world. Namaste!
How would you define La Montaña Azul now that you’ve been there?
Spectacular. It’s a place out of this world. The biggest butterflies I’ve seen in my life, those nocturnal sounds, those plantations, the company of such wonderful people, the absence of basic elements like the internet and that feeling of being isolated from the world…
What about meeting Ismael Cala and spending some days of meditation with him?
It was really exciting and the fact of being able to open myself to a person full of experiences and knowledge is something that filled me with joy. Ismael always gives his best to everyone.
What did you learn from him?
In short, that self-control is the key to the knowledge of oneself. We shouldn’t exceed our emotions. We are what we decide to be, and we shouldn’t let our mind condition us with past experiences and predispositions for the future. If we control our minds we’ll feel more freedom in life.
Would you encourage people to participate in charity sweepstakes?
Undoubtedly, this is a great initiative. Sooner or later dreams like these come true. It is a worthwhile experience and everybody deserves to live an adventure like this.
