Cultivate Your Heart in Beautiful and Sacred Areas of Japan
In Buddhism, one of the words for “meditation” is “bhavana,” literally meaning exercise or cultivation of the heart. We gather together at temples, on old sacred islands, around the mountains, and other sites around Japan to deepen our practice. All retreats are led by highly experienced teachers who will help you develop your meditation practice, whether you are a beginner or very experienced practitioner. Besides sitting meditation, retreats may include contemplative walks around the sacred lands, yoga and tai chi or other forms of moving meditation, and reflective exercises.
