Yugen is experiencing the world we live in, the mysterious sense of beauty in the universe, a Japanese concept deeply rooted in the “now.” It uses imagination to take you beyond what can be described with words.
To wander on in a huge forest without thought of return. To gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands. To contemplate flight of wild geese and lost among clouds. — Zeami Motokiyo
I invite you to create space in your life to slow down and appreciate the mysterious beauty of the universe we live in.
From October until the end of March, when the sun still rises a little later, I host sunrise meditations on Pitch Hill and Holmbury Hill.
We start with a sunrise meditation, opening our eyes just before sunrise, preparing ourselves to experience the Yugen moment. Such experiences allow us to put life into perspective, appreciating our lives as they are and allowing ourselves space to just be.
