An invitation to stop: Kai Sawyer at TEDxTodai Kai is a student in the Graduate Program in Sustainability Sciences and Global Leadership Initiative. He was born in Tokyo, and raised in Niigata, Hawaii, and Osaka. He attended the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) where he was heavily involved in student activism and organic gardening. At UCSC, he co-chaired the Education for Sustainable Living Program where he taught and trained students on student-centered education and sustainability activism. While living in the forest of Costa Rica without running water or electricity, he immersed himself in permaculture and mindful living. He currently teaches urban permaculture and compassionate community-building in Tokyo. Kai is a passionate advocate for a culture of non-violence and coexistence with nature. His dream is to cultivate a culture of peace and compassion with all people. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) ソーヤー 海 東京大学大学院新領域創成科学研究科サステイナビリティ学グローバルリーダー養成大学院プログラム所属。東京出身、新潟、ハワイ、大阪育ち。カリフォルニア州立大学サンタクルーズ校(UCSC)で学生運動と有機農業に深く関わった。また、２人の共同議長の一人だった「Education for Sustainable Living Program 持続可能な生活教育プログラム」において「学生中心の教育」や「環境平和活動」を主に学生向けの授業やワークショップで、教えてきた。大学を出てからは、自分の考えを実践に移そうと思い、水道水や電気のないコスタリカの森に移住。パーマカルチャーに没頭する一方、「マインドフルな生活（イマココの気づきをもった生活）」を送った。現在は東京で都会型パーマカルチャーと共感的なコミュニティ構築を教えている。若者向け瞑想会「Wake Up!（目覚め）」をオーガナイズし、「東京アーバンパーマカルチャー（TUP)」を主催する他、非暴力の文化と自然との共存をパッションを東京で広めている。夢は平和と愛を土台とした文化をみんなと育むこと。 https://youtube/watch?v=Kn6FUwzzo_0
