KOYASAN RETREAT / A JOURNEY TO FEEL

A deeper encounter
with life at Koyasan.

Film, Oneness meditation and sound healing in a temple hall normally closed to the public.
Exhibition artworks and incense can be added around your interests and budget.

This is an example of how a retreat may be composed. Dates, venues and programme details are confirmed when you enquire.

ART / AN INNER JOURNEY

A journey of discovery
through art.

A cosmos unfolds in a film. A note fades into quiet. Within a space shaped by prayer, art invites you to contemplate your own life. A retreat gives these encounters time to deepen.

At its heart is Kūkai’s vision of connection between life and the cosmos, explored through original film, sound and spatial art created by Feel& Sense. Walking, sensing and conversation become parts of one journey.

RETREAT / PROGRAMME COMPOSITION

A retreat composed
around experience.

01 / SACRED PLACES

Arrive in the mountain’s rhythm.

Enter the landscape of temples, trees and prayer. Learn something of the place and allow time to settle into its rhythm.

02 / ORIGINAL ART

Enter the world of the artwork.

Feel& Sense designs and provides the programme. The core Koyasan experience combines LIFE® Inochi, a film encounter with Kūkai’s spiritual vision, Oneness meditation, and sound healing with distinctive instruments in a special temple hall normally closed to the public. Inochi Exhibition artworks, additional films, incense and crystal singing bowls can be arranged around your budget and interests.

03 / PERSONAL DISCOVERY

Give the encounter a future.

Through silence and conversation, reflect on what remained with you. Make space to recognise what matters and carry it into daily life.

SATORI / AN INNER CONNECTION

Explore cosmic consciousness
through your own senses.

For Feel& Sense, SATORI is an awareness of connection between ourselves and a greater world. There is time to receive the art and the atmosphere of the place at your own pace, without rushing to put everything into words.

If a stay forms part of the journey, temple meals or morning observances can be considered as part of the same unfolding experience. Ajikan meditation, incense and sound sessions are considered around your budget and interests, with the relevant practitioners and venues, subject to availability.
