This August, our friends at are hosting a 10-day retreat in rural Japan exploring food, ecology, craft, and communal living through the landscapes of Takigahara.
Bessō Takigahara brings together farmers, cooks, artists, writers, an ama diver, and a Buddhist priestess for an immersive program rooted in the satoumi-satoyama ecosystems of Ishikawa Prefecture. Participants will forage edible plants, ferment seasonings, harvest seaweed, make paper from wild gampi, carve bamboo chopsticks, share meals with villagers, and build a collective feast from the surrounding landscape.
It’s a thoughtful, deeply place-based program for people interested in food systems, cultural exchange, ecological thinking, and slower ways of learning.

In a new class with Nitzan Hermon, we’ll explore how AI can function as a thinking aid rather than just a productivity tool. Instead of optimizing for faster outputs, the session focuses on using computational thinking to clarify intention, surface hidden assumptions, and hold better questions open for longer.
Designed for anyone already using AI in work or creative practice — no technical background required — this 90-minute session introduces practical frameworks, prompts, and patterns for engaging with AI more intentionally.
Come for this first session, and, if your interest is piqued, take $100 off the full 3-month course.
