"FACING YOURSELF"
POSTURE THROUGH SHUGENDŌ & CHAKRA AWARENESS
Date: May 19, 2025 | Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm
Finding the Right Posture – A Japanese Cultural Metaphor for Facing Work with Intention
In today’s business world, we are constantly pushed to prioritize speed and efficiency. Yet, in the midst of this fast-paced environment, we rarely pause to reflect on our own posture — not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally — in how we engage with our work and with others.
This seminar is part of a full-day experience in re-examining our posture through a metaphorical application of traditional Japanese cultural practices.
This morning session focuses on Shugendō, the Japanese spiritual tradition of mountain practice. Unlike the Western notion of “conquering” the mountain, Shugendō invites us to see the mountain as a sacred space for dialogue and reflection. Through breathwork, walking exercises, and embodied awareness, participants will explore how posture relates to inner alignment — including the flow of energy through the body (chakras).
This seminar is inspired by Mr. Jérôme Chouchan, President of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan, who has famously applied the metaphor of Kyūdō (Japanese archery) to branding — “aiming at the invisible” as a way of creating meaningful connection. His work stands as a successful example of how Japanese culture can be metaphorically applied in modern business contexts.
In this seminar, we aim to translate and reinterpret Japanese embodied wisdom to help participants cultivate posture, presence, and perception in the workplace.
