2025 Gathering in Gratitude will be held on Sunday, December 7th at Yokohama Arena and broadcast live to various locations!
Engraving in our hearts the blessings and gratitude received this past year, we firmly renew our aspiration.
On Sunday, December 7th, 2025 Gathering in Gratitude will be held live from Yokohama Arena to various locations.
The Gathering in Gratitude is a time to reflect on this year, to remember the blessings and gratitude we have received, from the Great Existence—God—and from Keiko Takahashi Sensei, and to firmly renew our aspiration for the new year ahead.
In 2025, Sensei published two books—The Mind Force and Discovering the Light in Your Heart, 12 Stories —
Three Steps to Nurture Your Heart for Parents and Children. Sensei guides each one of us from every possible angle, helping us draw forth the Mind Force and open a new future.
In this turbulent era that leans heavily toward materialism, we cannot help but feel deep gratitude for being shown a way to cultivate the Mind Force rooted in the soul, to establish an unshakable inner axis, and to live with a Mental Vitality! Physical Vitality! Connection Vitality!.
For the upcoming 2025 Gathering in Gratitude, we, members from across Japan and around the world, hope to come together before Sensei with hearts filled with gratitude for these blessings.
In addition to Sensei’s lecture, a variety of programs are planned throughout the vast Yokohama Arena, including a panoramic gallery showcasing highlights of Sensei’s activities this year, the “GO! GO! Walk” awards ceremony, and a commemorative photo area.
We will conclude the program with a full-venue sing-along of GLA’s beloved song,To the Homeland of Hope.
Please join us at Yokohama Arena on Sunday, December 7.
If it is difficult for you to come to the Arena, we hope you will join us at one of the local viewing venues.
Let us fill the entire venue with the joy and gratitude of walking this path together with Sensei.
We sincerely look forward to your participation.
