How to support, de-stress, survive and cope as samurai women in this “too much” world 🌏

Join us in conversation at this community sauna in East London. We’re going to talk about what techniques each of us have to stay sane when life gets too stressful, and how to live more fully, like the samurai may have done.

Shiori Ito is an Oscar-nominated film-maker and journalist from Japan

Rimika Tanaka is the author of the book The Way of the Samurai Women

Both friends. Both allies. Both love onsen.

Expect us to be guides sharing tips on how to survive and thrive as samurai-spirited women in this modern world. We’ll also tell stories about samurai women and the ancient techniques that the samurai used to stay calm.

Followed by a discussion and time for snacking and drinking, all in a chilled and supportive environment. 

Serving suggestion: Go to the sauna beforehand to be super relaxed ♨️
