OUR MISSION
Our mission is to share cultural programs of mind, spirit and body with citizens of the world, to equip them with what they need to be mindful, restored, and happy. In particular, we offer tools of Yamabushi culture to anyone who feels that it is a useful path of self-awareness and self-development.
OUR VALUES
Communication of our precious local culture. In particular, the ways in which our culture can benefit the world.
Maintenance of tradition through sharing the experiences. Our work supports and maintains the local culture and manufacture as a business (i.e. Pilgrim Lodges, Shinto Shrines, Hotels, Local Food Culture including farmers.) We restore 10% of our revenue to the local community.
Promotion of peace. As the world becomes more global, tensions can arise. By sharing indigenous traditions with a global audience, we believe it creates a path to understanding and peace.
