About the event
If weather permits, we will begin with group meditation in nature. Following that, there will be a brief talk on ichigo ichie—a Japanese concept offering wisdom for everyday life. Afterward, we will explore Japanese calligraphy, with an emphasis on mindfulness in the act of writing. You’ll have the chance to create a keepsake by writing a character of your choice. We will offer several levels of difficulty, so whether you’re a beginner or experienced in calligraphy, everyone can enjoy this meditative experience. To conclude, we will reflect on the day and share insights over onigiri and miso soup. We look forward to welcoming you all to this special event.
