MEDICAL SHAKYO Mindfulness Experience in Kyoto
-A Cultural Wellness Journey
・Mindfulness Calligraphy Experience (60 minutes)
・MEDICAL SHAKYO Mindfulness Experience (90 minutes)
Discover a unique cultural wellness practice in Kyoto.
This experience combines Japanese calligraphy, Buddhist philosophy, and mindfulness practice through the traditional art of Shakyo (sutra copying).
By carefully writing each character of the Heart Sutra, participants enter a state of calm concentration, allowing the mind to settle and a deeper sense of clarity to emerge.
Guided by specialists in calligraphy and mental wellness, the program invites participants to experience Japanese culture while cultivating mindfulness and inner balance.
More than a cultural activity, MEDICAL SHAKYO offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with oneself through Japanese tradition.
The venue for this experience is located at the top of historic stone steps along Chawan-zaka, the path leading to Kiyomizu-dera temple.
Launching this April in Kyoto, Japan.
