About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

The Two Day Zen Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Kamakura offers a gentle and deeply nourishing experience of Japanese inspired mindfulness, movement, and rest, just fifty minutes from Tokyo.

Set in the peaceful coastal city of Kamakura, surrounded by ocean air, forested hills, and quiet streets, this retreat invites you to step away from the busyness of everyday life and enter a slower, more grounded rhythm. Kamakura is known for its spiritual atmosphere and natural beauty, making it an ideal place to relax the nervous system and reconnect with yourself.

This retreat is designed for those who feel emotionally tired, overstimulated, or in need of calm and clarity. Whether you are moving through change, stress, or simply seeking space to breathe, the experience offers a safe and gentle environment to rest, reset, and restore balance.

Each day includes slow and supportive yoga, guided meditation, breathing practices, and mindful walking in nature. These practices are suitable for all levels, including beginners, and are designed to help the body soften, the mind quiet, and the heart feel more open and at ease.

Japanese cultural elements are woven naturally into the experience. Guests enjoy a traditional tea ceremony inspired mindfulness ritual, slow and nourishing meals, and a relaxing Japanese style spa bath in the evening. These moments invite you to experience presence through simple, beautiful rituals that support deep relaxation and emotional well being.

Every guest stays in a private room, creating space for true rest, reflection, and personal comfort. There is no pressure to perform or share. You are invited to move at your own pace, supported by a small and caring group environment.

Close to Tokyo yet deeply peaceful, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience the calming spirit of Japan while gently reconnecting with yourself. Many guests leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and refreshed, carrying with them a sense of clarity and inner peace that continues long after the retreat ends.
