The KUNI Initiative
The journey of KUNI has just begun. This initial step encompasses Aso, Miyazaki, and Kyoto. Yet, beyond this immediate journey lies a vision of broader significance, transcending national boundaries. As we move towards 2025, we plan to host retreats and symposiums throughout Japan that center on the spirit of KUNI, creating a platform in Japan for global changemakers who resonate with this spirit.
The essence of KUNI is formed by a trinity: land, myth, and a sense of community. In a contemporary world facing global challenges, this integrated approach is increasingly recognized as an essential solution worldwide. Our mission is to build a global network that combines this spiritual triad with societal transformation, bringing together the collective wisdom of innovative changemakers from around the world.

Retreat 2023
The journey of the KUNI retreat tells the story of the age-old relationship between humans and nature. At the heart of this story is the spirit of "KUNI", highlighting the intrinsic interrelationship between land and humans, aiming to preserve ancient wisdom while embracing contemporary challenges.
The objective of KUNI also includes the reconstruction of the core pillars of modern society, such as currency, education, and the environment. Addressing global challenges requires transcending specific national or corporate agendas. It necessitates respecting the uniqueness and creativity inherent in each KUNI, while deeply anchoring in the commonalities that underlie them. Through the KUNI gatherings we host in Japan, connections between global changemakers and lands are woven, giving rise to innovative KUNI projects, propelling holistic solutions on a global scale.
Japan, chosen as the venue, uniquely balances indigenous traditions with a cutting-edge economy, making it an unparalleled backdrop for the birth of such a network on the global stage. While mirroring the challenges faced by today's developed nations, Japan also encapsulates hope for the future through the enduring spirit of KUNI. We aspire to make Japan a convergence point for the torchbearers of change from all over the world, aiming for the arrival of a truly brighter and harmonious world for all living beings.
