＜Voices of people who attended last year's retreat＞
"This time spent at the foot of Mt. Fuji is not something you take for granted, but rather something you are grateful for, surrounded by nature under the light, water, greenery, fire, and blue sky.
There were people with similar hearts, people with completely different ways of thinking, and people from different fields, but one thing I can say is that all of these people are friends who are willing to accept you. It is a time where you can meet friends and places where you can confirm where your "heart" is that moves you in different ways. (Mr. I, a man in his 40s)
By wearing Vibram FiveFingers shoes, which sharpen the soles of your feet, you can walk mindfully through the Aokigahara Jukai Forest (an untouched primeval forest created by an eruption) at the foot of Mt. Fuji, feeling the earth under your feet, the air in the forest, the life force of the trees, and the lava of Mt. Fuji with all five senses.
Even if you are nervous at first, don't worry, the members are great and the guides are kind and polite! Meditating in a cave, which isn't normally possible, is a pitch-black space, and it's relaxing, like being back in your mother's womb. It was a tour that guaranteed us a reunion. (Mr. T, a man in his 60s)
