Q.
Is it a strict or intensive retreat?
A.

This retreat aims to be the opposite of strict training.


Rather than overcoming something,

you gently relax body and mind

and return to your natural sensing

within a quiet atmosphere.


Even the idea of training itself

can cause the body and mind

to become guarded.


Valuing a sense of ease,

with time for meditation,

nature,

and moments in the hot spring,

both body and mind begin to soften.
