How we relate to each other shapes the world which we make around us. When we treat those close to us kindly, lending an ear for them to freely express their joys and sorrows, and equally are able to do the same, we create an environment of connecting and sharing. And when we close up, keeping these feelings inside to deal with on our own, refusing to open up to others, we trap ourselves without nourishing the strings of relationship which are so essential to our existence.

“Believe You Are A Creator”
We hold the power to create whatever we desire. Our ability to manifest the changes we desire depends on the depth and passion of our beliefs and on the focus of our attention. (more…)

Each of us has the potential to progress constructively, by choosing “the middle way.” (more…)

David, who comes from St. Louis and has been in Japan for 20 years, is the founder and director of JAMBO International Center located here in Tokyo. He started JAMBO (which means “Greetings!” in Swahili) in 1996 to “encourage people to reconnect with nature while helping others.” The original format was to aid Africa through sponsoring charitable activities, and to experience nature.
