Chapters are a series of small, intimate gatherings, each offering a deeper exploration into Mind, Nature and Sound, framed by its physical location, environment, culture, history and philosophy. Guided by local cultural stewards, Chapters Kyoto is a mindful exploration of Japan’s historical and deeply spiritual region.

We begin with 100+ guests to respectfully engage with the city’s centuries, benefitting both the artists and the attendees. This first edition of Chapters Kyoto visualizes the philosophy of myo, a moment of endless possibility, and Zen Buddhist teachings through cultural expressions, sound, nature and the arts.

Four days unfold with a highly curated selection of art, music, rituals and ceremonies, offered by Japanese practitioners, international artists and long-time Wonderfruit collaborators. Each experience illuminates hidden places around Kyoto, within private gardens, houses, secluded temples and spaces in the mountains.
