Thoughts on Soul Quest Retreat
Akira♾️Ikeda
Nice to meet you, my name is AkiraIkeda. I have been involved with sound for more than 20 years.
I have deeply studied the effects of sound on the body and mind by experimenting with the sounds of musical instruments and the sounds of the natural world and experiencing their effects on my own body. Sound has a very strong power to release various emotions.
Recently, I have been doing various types of healing sound work, and recently I have been focusing on grounding, cleansing, and centering.
I believe that these three words are the door to the soul.
I hope to connect with the earth in this wonderful environment and hold the place with a sound that encourages people to cleanse themselves, connect with their own central axis, and talk with their own souls.
I look forward to meeting you all.

[The state of mind determines everything]
Our lives are almost entirely steered by the state of our mind and how we feel.
However, we are less aware of our own state of mind and how we feel than we think we are. To know ourselves is to "know thyself." and has been practiced by famous philosophers, as well as by various religions, philosophies, and traditions throughout the world, both ancient and modern.
[Entering the inner world, not the outer world]
We usually act in a logical, socially oriented manner, taking the best course of action while being conscious of our position and how we stand in various situations.
However, this retreat is not about the "outside world and self" that we adopt in our daily lives, but about the "inside of yourself," the world that is only inside of you. During the retreat, we ask you to take a break from the busy thoughts in your mind and practice Bruce Lee's famous words, "Don't think, just feel.
What we hope you will experience at this retreat】
By feeling "here and now," looking at yourself as you are, facing the emotions and physical sensations that arise (sound journey), and expressing them physically (movement meditation), you will neutralize and sublimate aspects of yourself that you have completely forgotten, old dreams, faint memories, bitter and painful times, and all the other aspects of your life that you have experienced, It will neutralize and sublimate aspects of yourself that you have forgotten, such as old dreams, faint memories, or painful times, or experiences in all aspects of your life.
We hope that by getting to know yourself better from multiple perspectives, you will be able to heal on a deeper level and update your vision of life, not to mention your daily life. I look forward to seeing you in Awaji Island.
