Come for a day with no agenda — just the simple practice of being here.
We'll be waiting for you in the forests of Wulai. The mist hasn't lifted yet. The green is already breathing.
Together, we'll walk among the trees and find one worth staying beside. We'll return our weight to the ground and let what has been held too long slowly soften. We'll rediscover what a single breath feels like in full — letting the gaze settle, letting thoughts come and go. And finally, through the rhythm of the body, find the moment when mind, heart, and body arrive at the same frequency.
No deadlines here. No unread messages. No version of you that has to perform. Only a group of people who all decided — today, we let go — and all the things you forgot you knew how to feel.
Give yourself one day. Your body already knows the answer. Let stillness stop being something you practice, and return to being something you simply know.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.

Space
Nestled in the mountains of Wulai, Fusen Banzhi rests quietly beside the forest — a hidden retreat often wrapped in mist.
Surrounded by lush greenery and fresh mountain air, the space carries the gentle sounds of nature - birdsong, rustling leaves, flowing water — a melody that welcomes you home.
“You can feel the forest breathe here.” Follow the moss-covered steps and winding paths to a space where you can release the weight of daily life and simply be.
Time moves slower here, giving your heart a chance to return to calm and stillness.
*Note: The venue includes stairways. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via our official LINE account (@soulbarn).
Nourish
Surrounded by mountains and forests, Fusen Banzhi Trio takes inspiration from indigenous food culture, bringing early foraging memories and the simple flavors of nature onto the table. We choose seasonal, local ingredients in their most natural form, and with gentle, thoughtful cooking, each dish shows a bit of the land’s personality—filled with the scent of the forest and a touch of sunlight.
As you sit with nature all around you, your body and mind naturally soften, daily stress loosens its grip, and what’s left is a sense of lightness that feels quietly nourishing.
