Bijeli pokrivač snijega prekrio je brežuljke Hrvatskog gorja.

A white blanket of snow covered the hills of the Hrvatsko gorje.

Tišina zimske idile bila je savršena kulisa za duhovni povlačenje tijekom božićnih praznika.

The silence of a winter idyll was a perfect backdrop for a spiritual retreat during the Christmas holidays.

Luka je stigao u drvenu kućicu, umotan u debeli kaput.

Luka arrived at the wooden cabin, wrapped in a thick coat.

Promatrao je okoliš ispunjen spokojem, tražeći nešto što će mu pomoći da pronađe mir.

He observed the surroundings filled with tranquility, searching for something that would help him find peace.

Godina iza njega bila je prepuna nemira.

The year behind him was full of unrest.

Luka je često doživljavao tjeskobne trenutke, a sumnje su mu zasjenile svaku misao.

Luka often experienced anxious moments, and doubts overshadowed his every thought.

Sad, u ovoj šumskoj oazi, nadao se pronaći jasnoću.

Now, in this forest oasis, he hoped to find clarity.

Svi su se sudionici okupili oko tople peći, a Ana, vođa povlačenja, dočekala ga je toplim osmijehom.

All the participants gathered around the warm stove, and Ana, the retreat leader, welcomed him with a warm smile.

Ana je pozvala sve da sjednu na prostirke.

Ana invited everyone to sit on the mats.

"Dobrodošli", rekla je mirnim tonom.

"Welcome," she said in a calm tone.

"Zajedno ćemo istražiti unutarnji mir kroz meditaciju.

"Together we will explore inner peace through meditation."

" Luka je duboko udahnuo, osjećajući mješavinu uzbuđenja i opreza.

Luka took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and caution.

Unatoč trudu, misli su mu stalno lutale.

Despite his efforts, his thoughts constantly wandered.

Tjeskoba je bila stalni gost.

Anxiety was a constant guest.

Drugi su izgledali spokojno, dok se on borio sa svojim unutarnjim nemirima.

Others appeared serene, while he struggled with his inner turmoil.

Osjećao je pritisak da pronađe brzo rješenje, i to ga je dodatno zamaralo.

He felt pressured to find a quick solution, and this further exhausted him.

Nakon jednog napetog jutra, odlučio je razgovarati s Anom nasamo.

After one tense morning, he decided to speak with Ana in private.

"Kako tebi polazi za rukom naći mir?

"How do you manage to find peace?"

" upitao ju je kad su sjeli na drvenu klupicu izvan kuće.

he asked her as they sat on a wooden bench outside the cabin.

Ana je podijelila svoju borbu iz prošlosti, ističući kako je strpljenje ključno.

Ana shared her past struggles, emphasizing that patience is key.

"Pokušaj se prepustiti procesu, Luka", rekla je blagim glasom.

"Try to surrender to the process, Luka," she said in a gentle voice.

"Mir dolazi u trenutku kad mu dopustiš.

"Peace comes when you allow it."

" Luka je odlučio poslušati njen savjet i potpuno se posvetiti meditaciji.

Luka decided to take her advice and fully commit himself to meditation.

Jednog poslijepodneva, Ana ih je odvela u snijegom prekrivenu šumu.

One afternoon, Ana led them into the snow-covered forest.

Zvuk koraka po svježem snijegu bio je poput nježne muzike.

The sound of footsteps on the fresh snow was like gentle music.

Za vrijeme vođene meditacije, Luka se iznenada osjećao oslobođenim tjeskobe.

During the guided meditation, Luka suddenly felt liberated from anxiety.

Shvatio je koliko je priroda moćna u umirivanju duha.

He realized how powerful nature is in calming the spirit.

U tom trenutku, sve sumnje su se rasplinule.

In that moment, all doubts dissipated.

Oni su se vratili u kućicu, a Luka se osjećao preporođeno.

They returned to the cabin, and Luka felt reborn.

Tamo, okružen drugim sudionicima, umirujući smijeh i razgovori postali su mu jasniji.

There, surrounded by other participants, soothing laughter and conversations became clearer to him.

Bila je to čista, nova perspektiva na život.

It was a pure, new perspective on life.

Kad je stigao kraj povlačenja, Luka je osjećao unutarnji mir i jasnoću.

When the retreat came to an end, Luka felt inner peace and clarity.

Istina je, nije pronašao sve odgovore, ali sada je prihvaćao put do njih.

The truth is, he hadn't found all the answers, but now he accepted the journey to them.

Odavde je odlazio s osjećajem zahvalnosti, spreman da se suoči s budućnošću.

He was leaving with a sense of gratitude, ready to face the future.

Dok se udaljavao od kućice, padao je svjež snijeg, simbolizirajući novi početak.

As he moved away from the cabin, fresh snow fell, symbolizing a new beginning.

Luka je pogledao natrag posljednji put, zahvalan na trenutku spokoja koji je pronašao među tišinom i smijehom.

Luka looked back one last time, grateful for the moment of serenity he had found among the silence and laughter.

Sa svakim korakom bio je sigurniji u odluke koje je trebao donijeti, duboko svjestan da je putovanje jednako važno kao i cilj.

With each step, he was more certain about the decisions he needed to make, deeply aware that the journey is as important as the destination.
