GLOW FIELD Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Asami Watanabe) will open 'Glow', a specialized mindfulness studio, in Hocchi, Karuizawa Town in April 2026. This studio will operate as a permanent facility providing programs based on international standard knowledge, offering both in-person and online programs strictly by appointment. In a quiet environment overlooking farmland and mountain ranges, it proposes a place to practice evidence-based 'modern mindfulness' and nurture a healthy, sustainable state of mind and body.
1. Background of Establishment: The Importance of Self-Regulation, Resilience, and Stress Reduction
In modern society, mindfulness is highly regarded not only for supporting mental and physical health from a public health perspective but also for reducing individual stress and improving self-regulation and resilience. Research and implementation are advancing globally, particularly in the U.S., across medical, educational, and business fields. Domestically, its importance is becoming recognized as the latest index of well-being. This facility is based in Karuizawa as a space where people living busy daily lives can practice continuously, focusing on a scientific approach that does not rely on any specific religion.
2. Program Expertise and Unique Environment
This studio offers programs based on modern mindfulness knowledge backed by years of accumulated research. One of the studio's features is its quiet, open environment overlooking the farmland and mountains of Karuizawa. The natural scenery and silence that change with the seasons support practitioners' deep awareness and curiosity. We thoroughly implement a reservation-only, small-group format to provide high-quality practice opportunities unique to face-to-face sessions, while also continuing to offer online courses accessible from all over the country.
3. An Open Practice Space for Diverse Participants
The studio will regularly hold 'Mindfulness Practice Sessions' that anyone can join, including local residents, villa owners, and staying guests. These practice sessions are open as a warm and welcoming place for anyone who wants to step away from their busy daily lives to experience and practice their own state of being, regardless of occupation, gender, nationality, or religion.
In addition to continuing the 8-week online course of the international standard program MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), which has been operated for five terms, we also plan to sequentially introduce 'A Mindful Day' programs that allow day trips from the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as programs conducted in English.
