I returned to Japan safely.

When I introduced myself on the first day of the retreat, I said, “I don’t think I could have come here on my own.I think everyone brought me here.”

I had wonderful encounters with people I would never have met if I hadn’t participated in the retreat.

I feel very lonely thinking that I will never be able to see all the participants again.

I know my English is difficult, but I wanted to talk and listen to many things with everyone more. I am disappointed.

I want this stay in Santa Fe to be the next step in my life, not just a chance to make memories like a trip abroad.

It will probably depend on my future actions.

I plan to participate again next year.
