Thanks to all SFS alumni. Your appreciation is why we do what we do.

“…a spiritual journey reconnecting with work during the fantastic workshops, through zen gardens, shinto shrines, buddhist temples, japanese ryokans, onsen baths, meeting masters, making new friends, relocating long lost ones, and of course the panorama of art, culture, textiles and architecture that still needs to be digested for the rest of the life.” –– Priya M., SFS Arimatsu ’10

“We had a very easy trip back physically, but mentally had a hard time leaving. I had such a wonderful time and so many cherished, once-in-a-life-time experiences that my mind is still assimilating it all. The people we met were so wonderfully gracious and sharing. Their generosity of time, kindness and hospitality will forever be deeply appreciated. Last, but not least, your supreme organization, patience and knowledge made the trip! I hope that I can find a way to reciprocate for this gift you and your colleagues have given me.” – Betsy R. – SFS Kiryu ’09
