縁 -en retreat-
Program
The “en” in “en retreat” comes from the Japanese word “goen”, which describes a fateful encounter.
This retreat is a program designed to enlighten your spirituality through the beauty of Japan with others who have come together in a once-in-a-lifetime and preciously fateful encounter (goen) through a shrine visit, private yoga session, and a traditional Japanese lunch in a historical home.
If you want to experience Japanese culture and beauty, please feel free to get in touch with us.
