In Finland there is a phrase: sauna diplomacy.
Strip away rank and title, and people meet as equals.
The weightier the matter, the better it moves in a readied body and in quiet.
No other guests share the hours you book. One group at a time, far from the nearest house.
Intimate hosting by executives, board offsites, creator retreats, team building, filming and PR use.
Beyond fire and water, nothing has been prepared.
The rest is how you use this land.
Play in the stream. Fish. Light a fire, grill meat over charcoal.
Whittle wood, touch the earth. Drinks and beer alike, the stream keeps cold.
No house stands nearby. So no one hears. No one watches.
You meet no one else.
The location, only to those invited.
Whether to film, and who may enter, is yours to decide.
We keep no record of our own.

West on the Chuo Expressway. Fuji at your back, the Southern Alps off to one side, the Kofu basin opening out. After the expressway, thirty minutes of fewer signals, fewer cars coming the other way, and the mountain ahead simply growing.
Four hours, there and back. No meeting room gives you that. One conversation, carried through to its end.
The hosting begins before you arrive.
