**TRIP CONFIRMED!** **(JUST 2 SLOTS LEFT FOR SPECIAL PROMO PRICE?** 🍁 Discover the Untamed Beauty of Japan’s Sakura Cherry-Blossom in this Breathtaking 9-Day Hiking & Road Trip Adventure! 🚗 Hey members, you may have been to Japan many times but we bet many of you have yet to go 'off-the-beaten' track away from the popular touristy spots to **EXPLORE & ENJOY** the **REAL JAPAN** \- it's immense beauty\, colorful culture and hidden gems that few know of\. Come, join us on this breathtaking adventure as we take you to uncover Japan’s hidden gems, beautiful mountains, tranquil lakes and crimson forests during the early sakura season which comes slightly earlier in the mountains. **Note:** This is not your typical tour — it’s an hiking cum road-trip adventure designed for hikers, nature-lovers, photographers and explorers who crave the freedom to roam beyond the boring tourist trail that few know of. Our journey begins in Tokyo before we board the train to **Odawara**, where the real adventure starts. From here, we’ll hit the road to explore the dramatic coastlines of the **Izu Peninsula**, **tranquil mirror lakes** and **waterfalls**, and the **beautiful forests** of the **Amagi Mountains.** We’ll soak in **rejuvenating onsen hot springs,** visit **charming countryside towns**, and hike through the breathtaking landscapes of **Shosenkyo Gorge** and the cherry-blossom trees/ forests and **picturesque** **5 Lakes** surrounding **majestic Mt Fuji**. But that’s not all — we’ll also visit **vineyards, winery**, **local fruit farms**, indulge in seasonal harvests, and experience authentic Japanese cuisine along the way. Expect handmade soba, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, and hidden izakayas only locals know. Each day offers something different: **misty mountain trails, lakeside sunsets, volcanic valleys, coastal viewpoints,** and **soul-soothing soaks** in traditional hot-spring onsens. To end our journey with a bang, we return to Tokyo and dive into the neon-lit buzz of **Shinjuku** — a perfect contrast to the serenity we’ve just experienced. This is your chance to explore Japan’s beauty off from the usual touristy sights during the cherry-blossom season - the way few ever do and knew — with the breeze in your hair, a smile, a handphone/ camera in hand, and new friends by your side. We're sure that **90%** of these places we're showing you will be new or unknown to you even though you may have been to Japan several times before. Cos these hidden gems, amazing hiking trails, farms, small villages & scenic places are curated from my 40+ years of adventures there in Japan. They are mostly off-the-beaten track, may not be found in Google maps and not easily accessible without your own private vehicle and good topo navigation skills.

**The Listening Room — First Gathering** So much of life happens in loud spaces and quick conversations that never quite go beneath the surface. The Listening Room is meant to be the opposite of that — a quieter space where people can slow down, talk honestly, and actually listen to one another. For this first gathering, we’ll meet in a small group and explore a simple conversation prompt together. The goal isn’t debate or performance — just thoughtful conversation and the chance to connect with others in a genuine way. Our prompt for this gathering will be: **When have you felt truly seen or understood by another person?** Everyone will have the opportunity to share if they’d like, but there’s absolutely no pressure — listening is just as valuable as speaking here. We’re keeping the group intentionally small so the conversation can feel relaxed and natural. Looking forward to meeting you. — Benny

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.

Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships? Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
