Description

JAPAN and the Five Elements

Photography, mindfulness, and self-knowledge to discover the Japan within you.

 

Travel is not just about changing places; it’s about allowing something within to shift.

Our trip to Japan was precisely that—a journey that opened up an inner world. We didn’t return the same. With each journey, something shifts in the way we see the world, the way we dress, the way we think, and the way we live in it. Every authentic journey reshapes our neural pathways, our behavior, and our rhythms. It has the power to make us more aware, more sensitive, and more present.

That’s why we created this training: to share what we have learned, to invite you to walk this journey with us, and to enjoy some of our experiences—without ever having to get on a plane. Through images, words, silences, and practices, we will journey not only through temples, streets, and gardens, but also through emotions, intuitions, and memories.

This symbolic and sensory journey will transport you to Japan…
But above all, it will invite you to journey within.

The common thread running through this symbolic journey is the teaching of the Five Elements (Godai 五大), a system of thought rooted in Japanese Buddhism and shaped by Hindu influence. These five elements—Void (空 Kū), Wind (風 Fū), Fire (火 Ka), Water (水 Sui), and Earth (地 Chi)—are more than natural forces: they embody fundamental aspects of the human experience: mind, emotion, will, transformation, and permanence.

On this journey, each city we visit will resonate with one of these elements. From that experience, we developed five modules that don’t just teach—they transform. Each module offers audio training, travel photos, photography exercises, mindfulness practices, writing prompts, inspiring artists, and music recommendations. This journey will take you through five stops.

It’s time to pick the most beautiful notebook you can find—decorated with birds, flowers, water, or wind. Pick up some chopsticks to eat mindfully, slow down your movements, and simply let yourself be carried away.

We are leaving. Are you coming?
