Discover Kyoto’s Untold Stories

Kyoto is a poetic city filled with untold stories of artistry, craftsmanship, and a harmonious way of living. Here, tradition quietly weaves into everyday life, creating a unique cultural tapestry. For thousands of years, sustainable and restorative living practices have been gently preserved deep within the Japanese countryside.

Through immersive excursions and hands-on workshops, Maana Retreats invites you to explore these ancestral techniques and heritage materials, sparking conversation about their relevance in our modern life - across food, textile, and architecture.

Our hope is to foster a community rooted in shared purpose and experiences. Together, we can share this knowledge with the world—ensuring these traditions are both preserved and repurposed for modern life.
