As the first of a series of special events for the 2025 Green Season, Mindfulness Meditation<\/strong> will take place over two days and one night, from Saturday, July 5 to Sunday, July 6<\/strong>.<\/p>

Mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation based on Buddhist principles that has quietly gained a loyal following in recent years, particularly in the West, as a way to address stress and improve mental well-being. By focusing on the breath and physical sensations, it fosters a sense of inner stillness, free from the distractions of thoughts and emotions.<\/p>

This retreat will feature Masao Yoshida<\/strong>, President of the Mindfulness Meditation Association of Japan, as a guest instructor. Surrounded by the pristine wilderness of the Northern Alps, participants will have the opportunity to sharpen their five senses through a series of guided mindfulness practices.<\/p>

Enjoy the sound of the wind, the rustling of the trees, and the fresh scent of clean alpine air as you reset your mind and body in a deeply relaxing and luxurious experience.<\/p>

*Please note: This program will be conducted in Japanese.<\/span><\/p>

Our second special program for the 2025 Green Season will be \u201cYoga & Glamping RETREAT -reset & renew\u2013,\u201d a retreat that has been held annually since 2023 and is scheduled for Saturday, September 27 to Sunday, September 28. Details will be announced as soon as they are finalized.<\/p>
