Two years ago, through sheer randomness, I went on a one-week onsen retreat that changed my life.

We would build, hike, chill in the onsen, and talk about technology. It was my first taste of what a nomadic lifestyle could look like, and it completely changed my worldview.

This year, I want to organize a similar retreat during reading week so that students can experience the same transformation.

You can be a designer, a creative, a programmer, a writer, or even a marketer—just bring your project, and prepare to lock in for one week in a small Japanese onsen town.
