\u3010Part 1\u3011Talk Event<\/p>\n

Did you know that the Gion Festival is one of the world’s oldest and most successful experiments in spiritual sustainability? This year there are major festival changes: the Great Ship Float (Oofune Boko) destroyed by fire in 1864 is being relaunched, along with pre- and post-festival processions on July 17 and 24. Let spiritual teacher, environmental journalist and Gion expert Catherine Pawasarat guide you through the intricacies of the festival’s fascinating spiritual legacy and its latest iteration, bringing together 1100 years of tradition with contemporary Japanese technology and sustainability practices.<\/p>\n

\u3010Part 2\u3011Gion Festival Tour<\/p>\n

Join us for a unique, 90-minute insiders’ tour of the festival floats from\u00a08pm, for an additional 1500 yen fee. Come with us for a simple and delicious soba supper in true Kyoto style (price of dinner not included) following the HUB Kyoto presentation event, or meet us at\u00a08pm\u00a0sharp on the NW corner of Shijyo Karasuma (Shijo station on the subway : Exit No.22\/24) for a rare glimpse of a truly floating world — with Japan’s definitive Gion Festival aficionado and expert Catherine Pawasarat as your personal guide!<\/p>\n
