Details
Energy & Intuition in Japan is an 11-day contemplative journey through sacred landscapes, mountain villages, historic paths, and refined temple spaces. Beginning in Tokyo and moving through the Nakasendo region, Kiso Valley, and Kyoto, this retreat blends meditation, embodied awareness, and intuitive practice within the natural rhythm of Japan. Rather than a fast-paced tour, this experience is intentionally paced to support nervous system regulation, depth, and integration. Walking portions of the Nakasendo Trail, quiet mornings in traditional inns, and time in onsen hot springs create a container for subtle awareness to unfold naturally. Daily meditation, energy awareness exercises, and group intuitive work are woven into the journey. No prior experience is required. All practices are progressive, grounded, and designed to meet participants where they are.

★ Reviews

Tokyo is a compelling retreat destination where ancient ritual and modern innovation exist side by side, offering a unique backdrop for transformation and renewal. Participants can begin their days in quiet reflection at sacred sites such as Senso-ji or Meiji Shrine, then immerse themselves in mindful cultural experiences like tea ceremonies, Zen gardens, and seasonal Japanese cuisine. With its blend of serene green spaces, refined design, world-class hospitality, and vibrant creative districts, Tokyo invites retreat guests to explore balance, intention, and presence while experiencing the dynamic energy of one of the world’s most fascinating cities.
