In person gatherings

at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre

and nearby parks & gardens

​

(... stay tuned for Seattle 2026 & regional / interest-based gatherings in 2027)

​

Enjoy culture, nature, and cuisine

We'll be meeting in the gorgeous Heritage Lounge at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. The Botanic Gardens and a large, forested park are nearby, so we'll also spend time in nature together. And no need to pack a lunch: we'll have both lunches catered at the Cultural Centre, plus Saturday dinner.

​

Relax, connect, and enjoy yourself

You support other people with RP; now let this community support you. This weekend will be a relaxed flow of practice, unstructured time to connect or rest, Open Space discussion, and a range of creative mini-workshops combining RP with art, movement, sound, and nature. 

​

Bring your loved ones / explore the Toronto area

With RP friends, with your loved ones, or on your own, you can take in the art at museums like the Royal Ontario and the Aga Khan Museum of Islamic Art, check out the world-class restaurants, markets, and food halls, or listen to a concert at the waterfront Music Garden co-designed by Yo-Yo Ma. Or take a day trip to Niagara Falls or further afield to some of Ontario's 250,000 freshwater lakes.

We're working on ways to make the weekend fun for everybody in the family, even while we keep most of our time together for certified RP teachers.
