Kakusoku: Healing Lights and Zen

About this event

Held in the Main Hall of Kanso-ji Temple in Takaoka City, 'Kakusoku: Healing Lights and ZEN' provides a special time to reflect on one's mind and body within a magical space enveloped in candle flames. When the venue opens at 16:00, candle art pieces will be lit. Amidst the deepening silence at dusk, spatial lighting producer Taichi Nakazawa will introduce the candle art starting at 16:30. A zazen meditation session will begin at 16:45, offering a peaceful time until around 18:15. After the meditation, candle art viewing and a tea chat will take place from 18:15, with adjournment scheduled for around 19:00. This event aims to help participants reflect on their physical and mental state, experience connection and circulation, and intuitively feel their true essence in the serene setting of a temple main hall on an early winter evening. Admission is free, though offerings (ofuse) are gratefully accepted at any time. Capacity is limited to 30 people and advance registration is required. As parking spaces are limited, carpooling is encouraged. Because the venue is indoors, the event will be held rain or shine.
