Listen to Yukari Yamagata talk while viewing her photographs, and take home '5 habits' to organize your daily life, inspired by the richness of travel.

Giant baobab trees.
Life without electricity or gas.
Yet, the faces of people who are content—.

Photographer Yukari Yamagata has visited Madagascar twice in the past year. She says, 'Once was not enough,' indicating the country's power to stir one's sensibilities.

In this event, we will guide you on a 'virtual journey' across Madagascar with the photographs captured by Ms. Yamagata.

It's not just about seeing landscapes or rare endemic animals.

Through episodes encountered locally, such as:
- Life without toilets or refrigerators
- People living peacefully with little cash
- Time spent with abundant nature

We will regain the 'power to feel' that we may have forgotten.

In the second part, we will bring the insights from that journey into 'daily life.'

Kikuko Fukui, Secretary-General of the ganas Supporters Club and Certified Dream Planner Coach, will present '5 habits' to slightly organize your daily life, inspired by the 'richness' felt in Madagascar.

For those who are constantly busy, this will surely be a moment where a part of your heart can gently relax.

'Recently, I feel my sensibilities have dulled.'
'I want to travel.'
'What is richness?'

This event is highly recommended for anyone with such thoughts.
