Feeling grateful for the gift of life.
Until recently, it was tempting to assume that life would never be less convenient. One virus changed all that—so we’ve decided to reach into the past to find a new way forward.
Professor of Tokyo City University Furukawa Ryuzo spoke with hundreds of people 90 years old and over about life “before convenience” when they were growing up. In the course of his research, he identified 44 disappearing lifestyle values that keep a community going when there is no expectation of convenience, and when the community’s survival depends on universal cooperation.
Join us on Saturday, October 24 for an online “video bento” on the spirit of resilience. Hosted by Adam Fulford, community consultant of Nakatsugawa in Iide-machi—officially declared one of Japan’s most beautiful villages—this day-long YouTube live stream will feature a variety of 10-minute explorations of resilience, sustainability, and community initiatives from friends and leaders in rural Japan, England, Uganda, and around the world.
With topics ranging from tea and resilience to restoring lost houses and marrying into a temple, these brief talks will help to inspire practical steps in the direction of a better future.
Let’s walk this path together!
