(Re)Discover your 'IKIGAI' in the Japan Alps this Cherry Blossom season May 2020
What better place to enhance your Wabi-Sabi-ness (embracing the perfectly imperfect life) through Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), Macrobiotic cooking etc. than Japan, the birthplace of Zen?
A retreat is ultimately to feel united and at home with your environment. Instead of isolating you from your surroundings, this retreat connects you with local people, traditions and cultures to help you feel grounded, even in a foreign setting. A chance to seek more meaning encounters, try something new, broaden your horizons and connect to people with unique points of view.
Join us in this sharing and learning opportunities and celebrate a melting pot of cultural diversity together!
