Manlee studies the Japanese language and has travelled to Japan on multiple occasions to visit temples in different prefectures, where she has practised Zen (禅) with Japanese monks to deepen her understanding through direct experience, cultural immersion, and sincere study.Held in a small and supportive group, this retreat offers a calm, nurturing space where you are free to simply arrive as you are. No performing. No pressure. No need to be anything other than present.Simply you, the silence, and the kind of clarity that only stillness can reveal.A quiet return to presence.
