Marek Kamiński’s most important expedition – meeting with the traveller

On January 13, 2017 at 6 pm, a special meeting with Marek Kamiński – Polish polar explorer, traveller and entrepreneur – will be held in O4 co-working space. In 2015, Marek Kamiński covered 4000 kilometres in 100 days on a legendary Camino pilgrimage route called St. James’s Path. Kamiński calls this pilgrimage “a journey inside yourself” and “the most important expedition in life”. During the meeting, we will have a chance to find out why.

Although Kamiński reached two poles, the expedition to the third pole turned out to be the most difficult one. Where is the third pole? In our heads. At the meeting, Marek Kamiński’s book entitled “Trzeci biegun” (Third pole) will be presented as well. The meeting will be conducted by Monika Bogdanowicz.

Traveller, polar explorer and entrepreneur. The first and the only man in the world who reached two Earth poles within one year. He took part in expeditions to Antarctica and Greenland. He travelled across the Atlantic Ocean two times by yacht, walked through the Gibson Desert and in 2004 he reached two poles together with a disabled boy – Jasiek Mela.

In 1996 he established the Marek Kamiński Foundation, which deals with implementing big social projects addressed to chosen groups of people in need, with particular focus on disabled people. The Foundation organises European Camps of Pole Conquerors for sick, disabled children, or children in difficult life situation.

Marek Kamiński is a winner of numerous awards: for his outstanding contribution to Poland’s promotion worldwide. For example, he was awarded with the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.

Looking for oneself on a pilgrimage route. Report from a meeting with Marek Kamiński

New year usually brings new plans and objectives to be accomplished. Often such plans are converted into real events, experiences and successes. But as often ambitious intentions remain just a trace in our memory. How to convert such concepts, ideas, dreams into projects that could change us and our surrounding we talked at the author’s meeting at the Olivia Business Centre with Marek Kamiński, a traveller, polar explorer, businessman. The event took place on 13 January at O4 coworking space of the Olivia Business Centre within the interdisciplinary OBC project, Olivia Cooltura.

The book The Third Pole” and the film “Pilgrim. Camino by Marek Kamiński” directed by Jan Czarlewski, are excellent sources of knowledge of the expedition, a “pilgrimage between the poles of faith and mind”, as Marek Kamiński calls the space between Kaliningrad and Santiago de Compostela. This is an extraordinary tale on the way, people, contemporary Europe. The story happened in 2015. Marek Kamiński walked then 4000 km in 100 days following the legendary Camino pilgrimage route, called St. James’s Path. Kamiński calls the travel “a journey inside himself”, “the most important expedition in life”.

The numerous audience at OBC (a record number of guests, over 130 people!) listened to Marek Kamiński’s lively account in his mental preparations to the expedition that gave the traveller a different, new dimension. At the beginning, when he started to think about the route (over 13 years ago), he had only one goal in mind: “Go to Santiago”. Afterwards, a strong need for personal development arose – during the trip and conversations with the people he met on he way.

In a conversation with the moderator of the meeting, Monika Bogdanowic of the Olivia Business Centre, Marek Kamiński told us why being active physically and mentally is our internal choice and that it is worth following your heart in life. As usually, very vividly and in an interesting way he spoke about his thoughts concerning Camino. He revealed that the trip was not only a great adventure and an opportunity to meet magnificent people but also a unique lesson of history, humility, patience, resilience. It turned out that the most important experience and the most important lesson Marek Kamiński learned from the trip was a spiritual lesson, the realisation that the trip gave him what he had been looking for, gave him sense and peace of soul. Finding new objectives and new roads to walk.

The route that Marek Kamiński intended to cover seemed uncomplicated at the beginning to those that he had already made. It led through easy lowland regions of Central and Western Europe; however, finally it proved to be for Marek Kamiński as exhaustive physically and mentally as his polar expeditions. Due to the fact that the pilgrimage was demanding, the traveller was able to fully live through his spiritual transformation. And find a sense of a real pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

During the expedition, Kamiński met many interesting people: students who supported him with finding a place to stay overnight, shared their modest resources or supported him on the route accompanying him for several kilometres, people associated with science and church, to other enthusiasts, travellers and pilgrims. The meetings gave a lot of good things to the traveller, unselfish help and interesting and inspiring conversations.

About looking for oneself on the pilgrim’s route. Report from the meeting with Marek Kamiński

A new year usually means new plans and goals to achieve. Often, plans can be turned into real causes, experiences and successes. But just as often, ambitious intentions remain only a trace in our memory. We talked about how to translate concepts, ideas and dreams into projects that can change us and our surroundings – during the author’s meeting at Olivia Business Centre – with Marek Kamiński, a traveller, polar explorer and entrepreneur. The event took place on January 13 at the O4 Olivia Business Centre coworking space as part of the interdisciplinary project OBC, Olivia Cooltura.

The book “The Third Pole” and the film “The Pilgrim. Marek Kaminski’s Camino” directed by Jan Czarlewski are excellent sources of knowledge about the expedition, a pilgrimage between the poles of faith and reason”, as Marek Kamiński calls the space between Kaliningrad and Santiago de Compostela. It is also an extraordinary story about the road, people, and contemporary Europe. The event took place in 2015. Marek Kamiński walked 4000 km in 100 days along the legendary Camino pilgrimage route, known as the Way of St. Paul. Jacob. Kamiński calls this journey “a journey into oneself” and “the most important journey in my life”.

A large audience of the meeting in OKaminski1BC (a record number of guests, over 130 people!) listened to Marek Kamiński’s colorful story about mental preparation for the expedition, which gave a traveler’s life a different, new dimension. In the beginning, when he started thinking about the route (and it was more than 13 years ago), he only had a goal in mind: “Go to Santiago”. Later, there was a strong need for personal development – during the journey and conversations with the people I met on the way.

In an interview with Monika Bogdanowicz from Olivia Business Centre, who hosted the meeting, Marek Kamiński talked about why being physically active and… Mentally, it’s our inner choice and it’s worth following our heart in life. He spoke, as always, in a colorful and interesting way, about his thoughts on the Camino. He revealed that the trip was not only a great adventure and an opportunity to meet amazing people, but also an unusual lesson in history, humility, patience and endurance. It turned out that the most important experience and the most important lesson that Marek Kamiński learned from the expedition was a spiritual lesson, the awareness that the journey brought him what he was looking for, gave him a sense of meaning and peace of mind. Finding new goals and new ways to go.

The route that Marek Kamiński had to take at the beginning seemed not too complicated, compared to the previous ones he had taken. It led through quite simple, lowland regions of Central and Western Europe, and in the finale it turned out to be as physically and emotionally exhausting for Marek Kamiński as his polar expeditions. Thanks to the fact that the pilgrimage was demanding, the traveler was able to experience his spiritual transformation to the fullest. And to find the meaning of a true pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

During the expedition, Kamiński met many interesting people: from students who provided him with accommodation support, regaled him with modest supplies, or supported him along the route, walking several kilometers together, through people associated with science and the church, to other enthusiasts, travelers and pilgrims. These meetings brought the wanderer a lot of good, selfless help and interesting and inspiring conversations.
