In Japan, our grandparents told tales of Kodoma, spirits who inhabit the deep forest, who come to our rescue should we get lost in those dark woods – but only if we respect nature, only if we accept our human responsibilities.

I often reach for Kodama to guide me through the darkness.

I share the traditional Japanese belief that spirits are everywhere, especially in nature. For me the truth of our universe can be found in wilderness. And my hope is my Kodoma Project can bring light to people’s heavy hearts.

For all who join me, who make it possible, thank you.
