SPA Trip in 2024: Ayurveda Trip to Sri Lanka
I woke up to the sound of birdsong and started my day with yoga, gently warming my body with the instructor. I received Ayurvedic treatments tailored to my type in the morning and afternoon, and it was a precious trip where I could relax my mind and body in a tranquil atmosphere and connect with myself.
In July 2023, we held an extremely intensive retreat camp.
Located in Kanaya-machi, Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, in an old townscape with cobblestone streets where traditional craftspeople live.
We held a training camp at the old Japanese house "Kin no Sansun".
We danced together, and learned to make things from a metal casting artist.
In a traditional orin (Buddhist bell) workshop, you can enjoy a relaxing time soaking in the sounds,
It was a wonderful 2-night, 3-day trip where I had great encounters and even discovered a new side of myself.

4/22:
We started with a bento box featuring local seasonal vegetables from Cafe Monroe.
After receiving lectures on correct posture, building a body that is less prone to injury, and how to walk uphill without putting strain on the knees, we headed to the Utsue 48 Waterfalls.
After the waterfall walk, we'll relax and socialize with some adult mud play.
4/23:
A lecture and hands-on experience of clinical meditation will be held at the Basara Hall, the meditation hall of Senkoji Temple in Hida, led by Mr. Daien Oshita.
I was given the special opportunity to touch the five cedar trees at Senkoji Temple!
We enjoyed shopping at the Jinenjo no Sato (Wild Yam Village) for lunch.
In the afternoon, we reviewed the two-day session with Professor Kitamoto and did some imagery work.
Even the mountain serows came out to say hello.
Everyone went home with wonderful smiles on their faces.
Seeing all of your smiles gave me so much energy.
thank you
