【Okinawa, Nanjo City】Align Yourself and Your Peers through the Sea, Forest, and Waterfall | Earth Regeneration × Adventure × Introspective Retreat

• Experience a blend of nature restoration, adventure, and retreat set against the backdrop of the sea, forests, streams, and waterfalls in Chinen, Nanjo City, in the southern part of Okinawa. This tour is not just about 'seeing' or 'playing' in nature. You will help restore the ocean through beach cleanups, awaken your senses with forest bathing, and assist in forest regeneration projects. You will also work with your companions to climb the stream and head toward a hidden waterfall. At the waterfall, while feeling the power of the water with your whole body, you can quietly reflect on 'what you want to let go of' and 'what you want to cherish moving forward.'
• Beach Cleanup Experience
• This is a program for rediscovering the region and fostering connection, aimed at those living in Chinen and those with ties to Okinawa. While walking through the sea and forests around Sefa-Utaki, you will participate in beach cleanups and forest maintenance activities. As you engage with the local nature, culture, and history of prayer that you might otherwise overlook, you will also learn about the challenges the region faces, such as an aging population and environmental conservation. By not just enjoying nature, but also helping to care for the area with your own hands, you will cultivate a sense of attachment and pride. After the activities, we will have a time for dialogue, serving as an opportunity to build new connections with the community and make new friends. This is an experience that will help you see Chinen not just as a 'place to live,' but as a 'place to grow together.'
• Forest Regeneration Activities, Seaside Meditation, Sacred Site Walking, Interaction with Local Residents, Creating a Third Place
