Come experience Japan - its culture, its stillness, its wisdom - alongside a community of like-minded practitioners. Wander through bamboo groves, soak in an onsen, share a meal, and return home not just professionally enriched, but genuinely restored.
This is CPD that takes care of you, too.
📩 [email protected] | 22–29 October 2026.
We believe the best professional knowledge isn't gained under stress - it's acquired when you're rested, reflective, and fully immersed.
Our 17+ CPD hours are built on a foundation of practitioner wellbeing and deep experiential learning:
🌿 Self-Care as a Core Competency: Dedicated time for mindfulness, traditional onsen bathing, and Japanese somatic exercises. This isn't an add-on; it's the foundation for effective practice.
Knowledge Through Experience: Workshops are intentionally linked to the places you visit - from meditating with a monk in Tokyo to exploring existential themes at Fushimi Inari Shrine.
🤝 Community & Reflection: Up to 10 hours of structured peer supervision and facilitated reflective practice allow new insights to truly sink in.
Give yourself the gift of CPD that is genuinely transformative. Your renewed, professionally-engaged self will thank you.
