About the event
On December 28th we will be closing the year with a special collaborative event by Art Studio TEN and YODA. We would love to spend this time together with you, reflecting on how 2025 has shaped and supported us, reconnecting with ourselves, and sharing gentle movement and creativity with one another. And of course, experiencing zazen in the serene atmosphere of a real Buddhist temple is something you won’t forget.
