Life Reflection with a Monk

Taiki Yoshikawa is a Buddhist monk who engages in various activities inside and outside the temple, such as planning/speaking in trainings, counseling support, and community design. This event will be his first-ever workshop outside Japan. Through an immersive narrative of a person nearing their death, participants will dive into a personal trip to reflect on and re-encounter their inner selves and wishes.

Workshop

Life Reflection with a Monk:
How do you feel when you encounter your own death?

What is "death" for you?
What does it mean in your life? Through this workshop, I hope that you will have an opportunity to become more familiar with the concept of "death," and that your past and future lives will become more energetic and vibrant.
