Kyudo: bridging Cultural Roots and Shared Journeys
KYUDO, the ‘Way of the Bow,’ is the traditional Japanese art of archery. It is considered one of the purest martial arts — a path toward inner harmony, self‑mastery, and a deeper understanding of the world.
In Kyudo, hitting the target is the natural consequence of balance: the alignment of body, mind, and spirit, combined with an acute awareness of the group of archers, the context, and the surrounding environment.
Kyudo invites practitioners to better understand themselves and the world around them. It becomes a metaphor for the collective: the search for an effective gesture, the pursuit of precision toward a shared goal, the embodiment of common values, harmony in relationships, and the evaluation of one’s actions.
CULTIVATING COLLECTIVE ALIGNMENT
Kyudo offers teams a space to develop a way of working together that is more fluid, more conscious, and more aligned.
The approach helps transform the diversity of origins, backgrounds, and sensitivities into a coherent collective dynamic capable of supporting the organization’s performance.
Teams strengthen mutual trust, clarify how they operate, and learn to adjust their interactions with justesse.
They gain cohesion, relational quality, and the ability to move forward together in complex environments.
MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER
Kyudo is designed for teams evolving in demanding, multicultural, or transformative environments, who wish to strengthen the way they collaborate.
It is particularly suited to international organizations operating in France, project teams that need to synchronize their efforts, or groups facing misunderstandings linked to cultural or professional differences.
The approach provides a safe and structured framework to ease interactions, move beyond tensions, and establish more mature collaborative practices — all in service of a truly shared trajectory.
Exploring and strengthening the dynamics that shape the team
Kyudo explores the key dimensions of collective work: communication, cooperation, tension management, decision‑making, roles, responsibilities, and alignment around shared objectives.
The approaches used — equicoaching, co‑development, design thinking, visual workshops, experiential scenarios, etc. — create deep awareness and anchor concrete behavioural changes.
Depending on the needs, the program can include a variety of formats:
Executive Committee offsite
Strengthening cohesion
Intercultural Programs
Bringing global teams together
Co-development
Learning and developing with peers
Team Coaching
Optimizing cooperation
Designing and orchestrating an immersive journey fully tailored to your reality
01
Initial discussions to grasp the team’s culture, context, and strategic challenges.
02
A diagnostic phase to identify the priority levers for action.
03
The program is built around a series of tailor‑made workshops.
Each session alternates exploration, practice, feedback, and integration, enabling the team to progress at its own pace while consolidating its learnings in a sustainable way.
04
The journey concludes with a moment of grounding and projection, enabling the team to leave with clear reference points, shared rituals, and a renewed way of moving forward together — aligned and confident.
05
A follow‑up session is offered three months after the program to discuss implementation and propose adjustments.
Clients' voice
Laurent C. - Human Resources Director
“The equestrian activity fully convinced even those who were initially hesitant — it truly brought every team member on board.
The debriefs were rich in insights drawn from what we observed in the arena.
The creative activity at the end of the day allowed us to share and articulate our collective intention to work better together.”
