[November 14th (Fri)] Mindful City Kamakura Week Opening Event

Theme: "Wa ~The Resonance of All Things in the Universe~"

"Mindful City Kamakura Week (MCKW)" is a special week that weaves together the harmony of mind, body, people, and society while surrounded by Kamakura's rich nature, history, and culture. We will be holding an opening event to mark the start of this special week.

The overall theme is "Wa ~The Resonance of All Things in the Universe~" .

On the stage of the Kamakura Noh theater, which exudes a profound and serene atmosphere, we will deliver a moment in which the inner world of each of us resonates as one, through the sounds of music, the wisdom of history and culture, the experience of breathing, and dialogue.

We sincerely look forward to your participation if you are interested in mindfulness, well-being, and leadership in the coming era.
