On August 24, we held a Possible World session in Fuchu, Tokyo, using physical cards — normally run online, this time prompted by P-Lab member Aya's temporary return from Darwin, Australia. Eighteen participants gathered to build a world together, even taking on an unplanned third round.

On September 7, we held a Possible World session in Shin-Osaka, using physical cards. Seventeen people with varied backgrounds played two rounds, building on the same world rather than resetting. By the end, the economy, environment, and society meters were all flourishing — but not everyone felt they had. Some felt left behind, others unheard. "If the numbers improve, is that a flourishing world for everyone?" That question stayed with the group, who chose reflection over a

On September 14, we held a Possible World session in Kamata, Tokyo, using physical cards. It came about after a participant from the August 24 session said, "There's someone in Kamata I really want to share this with." Nine people gathered to co-create one possible world. Finite cards, yet infinite possibilities — shaped by the people in the room and how they connect. Once the host let go, something shifted: "This world is up to us." The nine became "Possibees."

This article provides a detailed analysis of the mindset and behavioural transformations observed during the 'Possible World' simulation. While the first round left participants grappling with powerlessness and an unbalanced world, a definitive paradigm shift occurred in the second round. By strictly limiting intervention and holding space for the students, the facilitator allowed a profound Haraochi to naturally emerge. Supported by both qualitative observations and quantita

Participants from five countries connected online to simulate a "possible world" under uncertainty. This post explores how personal habits, structural wealth gaps, and the "Green Snowball" effect — born from collective dialogue — can radically transform our future.

What is the value of "blank space" (Yohaku) that tends to be overlooked in today’s busy world? Looking back on the process of our intensive residential training programme for a small group of four in Sydney. It is a record of reflection by a practitioner who realised she had been letting external circumstances cloud her commitment. By drastically shifting the way the programme was offered, miraculous connections with multinational participants and a precious companion began t

A reflection on our in-person 'Possible World' session held for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026. Watch what happens when a mixed group of children and adults, meeting for the first time, are given 40 minutes to build a world with minimal instructions. Read about the quiet realisations, the cross-generational collaboration, and the endless possibilities that emerge when everyone acts as an equal stakeholder.

A Tectonic Shift in Darwin: How Silence Restored Balance What happens when individual goals meet collective destiny? In our latest Possible World session, participants shifted the world from a stark "17-2-0" imbalance to a harmonious "13-11-14" solely through deep introspection. Discover how this invisible shift in mindset ignited a visible explosion of agency and confidence in the next generation.

Connecting explorers from 11 countries, this session bridged the gap between our ideals and reality. Through intentional chaos, we discovered that surrendering control opens the space (Ma) for co-creation. While technical challenges mirrored real-world struggles, they revealed vast possibilities for connection. A look at how small ripples in Darwin became waves of global transformation.

Date: November 20, 2025 Location: Online (Zoom) Hosting Team: Aya Matsuyama (Australia), Sekan (Tokyo), Asuka (Osaka) 🌏 Session Overview "This is not a lecture. You are not Passengers; you are Crew." With these opening words from the host, the Possible World Discovery Session began. The theme of our journey was "Awareness of Possibilities and Action." Members gathered from diverse backgrounds and locations—Darwin, Tokyo, Osaka, Chiba, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima—embarking on
