Want to find your own mindful time?
Wa
The spirit of social harmony.
"Wa" is not a silent harmony.
It is the very "vibrancy of life"—where diverse souls overlap, dissolve into one another, and give birth to an unknown radiance.
The circles of people, the cycles of the Earth;
originally, no such thing as a boundary existed.
Deities and Buddhas, nature and humanity—all are mirrors reflecting each other within a single, grand flow of existence.
This sensitivity now transcends borders, serving as a beacon to restore harmony to our planet and the entire cosmos.
In the face of war, division, and the shadows cast by AI,
we do not simply resist the forces that cling to the "self" and exclude the "other."
Instead, we look toward the horizon of "Wa," where everything dissolves and is reborn as new life.
From Kamakura, we reach out to the world.
Eight days when the entire city of Kamakura becomes a stage.
Temples and shrines, historic homes, the seashore, forest trails,
local cafes, galleries, and studios...
In every corner of the city,
over 50 programs begin—simultaneously, yet serenely.
Zen practice, somatic workshops, forest meditation.
The art of Shojin cuisine and mindful tea ceremonies.
Music, silence, and deep dialogue.
Exploring questions of AI amidst the embrace of nature.
There is no "right answer."
Follow your heart, and let your feet lead the way.
Mindful City Kamakura Week is a co-creative festival,
brought to life by the diverse voices and souls of Kamakura.
Zen 2.0: A Decade of Journey.
It all began in Kamakura, 2017— A space dedicated to reconnecting the ancient wisdom of Zen and Mindfulness with the modern world. For ten years, we have continued our inquiry alongside global leaders, practitioners, and seekers. 2026 marks the culmination of this journey. And at the same time, it is a quiet first step into the next decade.
Our vision for this 10th anniversary is not to celebrate with "excitement," but to celebrate through "depth."
