Welcome to Curious Souls Café Japan! 😊
This is a place where curious people can come together. We believe that discussions about meaningful topics shouldn't be limited to just a few people, but should be open and engaging for everyone.
The Curious Souls Cafe is a welcoming space, like a cozy neighborhood café, where you can gather with others, share ideas, and nourish both your mind and spirit. Whether you're already knowledgeable or you're just starting to explore these topics, you'll find a supportive community of fellow curious people who are ready to discuss, and learn together.
Our discussions cover a wide range of subjects -- from the nature of consciousness and the meaning of life, to the ethical challenges of our modern world. We'll explore the ideas of great thinkers, both past and present, and see how their insights can shed light on our everyday lives.
But this isn't a lecture hall. The focus here is on participatory dialogue, where everyone can respectfully share their perspectives, personal experiences and discover new ideas together. Over cups of coffee and slices of homemade pie, we'll explore humanity's biggest questions, and maybe even uncover some life-changing insights along the way.
So bring your open mind, your sense of wonder, and your appetite for thought-provoking conversation. At the Curious Souls Café, everyone has a place at the table. Let's start our invigorating exploration! 😊

Topic: The Art of Friendship: Weaving the Ties That Nourish Us
A reflective exploration of how connections shape our lives, sustain us through change, and help us grow into more compassionate selves.
- "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’"
— Adapted from C.S. Lewis
As life unfolds, our relationships gently evolve. Some bonds deepen; others transform or fade. This gathering is for those curious about the art of friendship—how we nurture connections, honor their seasons, and rediscover meaning through the people who walk beside us.
Come with openness, share from the heart, and leave with fresh appreciation for the ties that shape your journey.
Inviting all who are...

💬 Icebreaker: Doorways to Connection (Round One)
We’ll use thoughtful conversation prompts inspired by WNRS to gently step into the heart of friendship. Through playful and reflective questions, we’ll explore moments that shaped our connections, honor the bonds that nourish us, and rediscover the joy of meaningful relationships.
💬 In-Depth Exploration: Deepening the Bonds of Friendship (Round Two)
Continue with themed virtual questions cards to spark intimate exchanges. Here are some sample questions.
1. Personal Reflections:
- "What’s one small moment that deepened a friendship unexpectedly?"
- "How has a friend helped you see yourself or the world differently?"
- "What qualities do you cherish most in a friendship today vs. 10 years ago?"
2. Growth & Connection:
- "Where do you feel an invitation to nurture or reimagine a friendship?"
- "How do friendships sustain us through life’s transitions?"
- "When have you navigated a friendship ending or changing—and what did it teach you?"
Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available.
💬 Spontaneous Reflection Question (Optional)
After warming up, our diverse group of friends and strangers will come together to exchange ideas on an intriguing topic chosen spontaneously.
Each participant is encouraged to contribute by sharing a unique question. You’re welcome to bring a question that’s been on your mind, or you can draw inspiration from the icebreaker conversation cards provided. Once all the questions are collected, the group will collaboratively select one to kick off the discussion.
From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group.
💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback
Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together.
After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you.
An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.
