Manifesto
A promise of connection, regeneration and deep harmony with the natural world
Our Promise
We believe in a world where humans make a positive impact on their environment. Where well-being, regeneration and connection are woven into everyday life. A world in which we not only take but also give, restoring what is lost and leaving the earth more alive and rich for those who come after us.
Yūgen Forest is our pledge to this vision. It is a haven for well-being, where the tranquility of nature reminds us that we are one with everything around us. Here we find the space to pause, reflect and rediscover the wonders of life. Among the trees, gardens and open skies, healing arises naturally, and a deep sense of connection takes root.
Regeneration
Regeneration is central to everything we do, not only for the land, but also for the soul. We devote ourselves to a different way of life, one that rejects fleeting goals and the endless pursuit of profit. Thanks to our steward-ownership principle, all of our resources flow back to nature and our mission. Every choice we make is shaped by our responsibility for the future, not only for today, but for generations to come.
Here life flows with the rhythm of the land and the seasons. We eat what the land gives us: fresh produce from the vegetable garden, fruit from the food forest, honey from our bees, flowers from our meadows… Everything is connected in an endless circle, always returning to its source.
Connection
More than a place, Yūgen Forest is a space for growth, transformation and connection. Through retreats, ceremonies and shared experiences, we help people reconnect with themselves, others and the earth.
In a world that is getting louder and faster, Yūgen Forest is a quiet reminder: connection is always possible. It is a place to take a deep breath, find silence and rediscover what it means to be truly connected with nature, with each other and with yourself.
Growing Together
Together we can nurture this vision. Together we can wonder, heal and grow. A new way forward is possible, and Yūgen Forest is a small but valuable part of that journey.
