黄金比 Ogonhi - the golden ratio for two

For the day of the autumn equinox we have composed a special ritual for two.

Sometimes we spend a whole lifetime looking for our other half. But finding is not the same as keeping.

In Japan a cracked cup is never thrown away. The crack is filled with gold - 金継ぎ, kintsugi - and the cup becomes more precious than it was when whole. And it is the crack alone that makes this cup the only one in the world.

The 23rd of September is the day of the autumn equinox, 秋分の日. It is said that our life has this shore - where we live, hurry and doubt. And the far shore - where everything is finally in its place. At the equinox, when the day is exactly equal to the night, the distance between the two shores is at its shortest. Hence the name of the week: 彼岸, O-higan.

One day a year, stitched with a golden thread during a ritual for two, will make your shared cup whole again - and fill you both with love and quiet.

The Ogonhi ritual is “the golden ratio for two”: the middle that holds you together. Three hours of stillness, warm water, a massage for the body and for the soul, the hands of our therapists, a tea ceremony and heartfelt conversation. No phones, no “have to”. Come ready to find yourself - so that you can keep each other.

What is included in the Ogonhi ritual?

Ogonhi - 'the golden ratio': the middle where two people meet. 180 minutes for two in one room: quiet, warm water, work with the body and the breath, the hands of our therapists, a tea ceremony and an unhurried conversation. €90 per guest (price as of the date of this post).

We hold it in the equinox season: September-November and March-April. Right for an anniversary, an engagement, or simply a day of 'us'.
