Bohemia occurs within a specific time and place...
On a trek into the woods with backpacks, for a week of hiking and camping along streams and near ponds, where nothing really matters, but the moment. Expecting to see no one except each other, this kind of trip is best suited for one older male guide and two or three women in their early twenties, looking for meaning in their lives. Instead they will find a way of life that only exists for one week a year. Where reality is made up of coping skills, comradery, exploration and unbridled urges.
It is not for the faint of heart, you must be in top physical shape, mentally aware and be ready to go with the flow of things, no matter where they take you. These will be your lifelong friends, you share all your secrets with. What happens while in Bohemia remains forever in Bohemia and is divulged to no one who has not been there.
We had a new recruit for this trip, Anne. She was a friend of Liz who was having issues at home and needed some time to be with friends. This trip, with just the four of us, seemed like quite the ticket. I believe that Liz implied that I was related to Katy in some way so she would feel more at ease. She soon learned that I was 30 years older than either Liz or Katy and not related. I was more like a Guru/Guide whom they trusted to take them on an incredible journey.
