At the heart of the experience is the process of creating a small Japanese zen garden.
To aid you in this regard, we have prepared a video that features the head priest of Tofukuji Temple, a 13th century zen temple in Kyoto famous for its gardens, who will guide you through the meaning of the zen garden as well as how to enjoy it.

Through this experience:

• You may gain some knowledge and appreciation of zen gardens.
• You may tap into your creative side as you shape your little Zen garden.
• You may feel a connection to Japan.
• You may feel a sense of serenity and peace.
• You may – for a moment - forget all the pressure around you.
• You may feel a connection with wabi sabi.
• You may feel you were able to let go of your pursuit of perfection.
• You may feel less of an attachment to your possessions.
• You may find the slow pace of the video slightly irritating.
• You can enjoy the experience in any way you like.
  
  

What you gain from this experience differs from person to person. We just want you to know that there is not a right way, and that every thought and feeling you experienced is important and reflects where you are right now.
