~Regulating Breath, Opening with Color: A Time of Life~

Through yoga's 'breathing' and the 'body awareness' gained from poses,

Let us explore the "cosmic expanse" within ourselves and our inner selves.

After experiencing your own "microcosm," let's add color to that universe.

Both adults and children overflow with free and boundless creativity.

In modern society, both adults and children

What you can do and how much you can achieve tend to be emphasized.

In this retreat, we move away from evaluation and comparison in clinical art therapy,

By engaging with pure art

・Sense of security

・Self-acceptance

・Fosters natural parent-child conversations

Furthermore, by combining yoga and clinical art therapy,

Deep relaxation of mind and body and the self (microcosm)

Promotes connection with nature and others (the greater universe).

This experience is woven into daily life.

Quietly permeating,

self-esteem and the way we see others,

We will nurture it into something warmer.

Through the "breathing" and "physical sensations" derived from yoga poses,

Let’s explore the “universal vastness” within ourselves and
our inner selves

After experiencing myself as a “microcosm,”
let’s add some color to that universe

Both adults and children are free

Infinite creativity overflows

In modern society, both adults and children

"What can you do?"
"How much can you achieve?"
These aspects tend to be emphasized.

In this retreat,
we move away from the evaluation and comparison inherent in clinical art,

By engaging with pure art

・Sense of security

・Self-acceptance

・Fosters natural parent-child conversations

In addition, yoga and art therapy

By combining them,

Deep relaxation of both body and mind and

The Self (Microcosm) and

A connection with nature and others (the universe)

We will promote this.

This experience is woven into daily life.

Quietly permeating,

self-esteem and the way we see others,

We will nurture it into something warmer.

Depicting the Universe (Circular Art)

Universe Art

~A Small Universe Created Together~

Our bodies and celestial bodies are composed of the same elements.
“I” am also a part of the universe.

On a round, jet-black canvas about 20 cm in diameter,
using acrylic paint and silver leaf, I slowly, at my own pace,
spread out colors and lines.
The circle symbolizes “life,” “harmony,” “cyclicality,” and “infinite expansion.”

By applying color in sync with my breath,
it becomes an experience of encountering my inner universe.
