INTRODUCTION There are some areas in life which cannot be described in words, but which can only be experienced … To rediscover that one still has within, certain qualities which can satisfy … is to find a critically important clue towards the acquisition of wholeness.1 A cult, a nudist camp, oddballs, a “sort of primitive social-religious retreat”:2 these are among the less favourable things which Othona has been called. A “world of compassion”,3 an “open and inclusive community”4, a place where no-one is sidelined, are among the more positive ways of depicting it. These attempts at naming make it clear, how difficult it is to describe or to assess “a strange phenomenon” 5 like Othona, to use the founder's own words.
