Private co-creation retreat

SelfAware: Well-being Co-Creation Retreat

A private co-creation retreat in Kyoto bringing together well-being leaders from around the world, hosted by Self-Aware with Living with Mindfulness as co-creator.

The full international retreat group standing together in front of an inscribed stone monument at a temple on Mount Hiei near Kyoto, surrounded by tall cedars.

The experience

As co-creator alongside host Self-Aware, Living with Mindfulness contributed yoga, a plant-based cooking workshop and a holistic health masterclass led by Katharina.

The week was also a learning experience: sessions on meditation, storytelling and meaningful retreat and event facilitation deepened our practice.

Zen culture, temples and the surrounding nature helped refine the tools and perspectives behind Living with Mindfulness programmes.
