聞く (Kiku) is the Japanese word meaning "to listen", but can also mean "to ask". The 聞く (Kiku) Healing Series is a collaboration between JAMsj and local healers to introduce various methods of healing and wellness rooted in Japanese traditions. 聞く (Kiku) Healing series seeks to engage participants in discourse around healing as individuals and as a community, cultivating deep listenings and curiosity about about what is around us and what is within us. This event is a collaborative event organized by Vanessa Hatakeyama, (JAMsj Executive Director), PJ Hirabayashi (Taiko Culture Bearer), Carolyn Morimoto (Energy Worker) and Jeff Sera (Reiki Master Sensei).

There are only 35 tickets for each event, $30 General and $25 for current JAMsj Members.
