What is Collaboratorium?
Collaboratorium —
a community-powered creative laboratory.
It is a place to experiment with new forms of collaboration, contribute to a real-world project, build a cultural library of ritual interventions, and meet others who believe that art, technology, imagination, and community can shape a more connected future.

Why are we gathering?
This summer, people from around the world will gather online to playfully experiment with interactive storytelling experiences dedicated to peace and the strength of diversity.
In a time when so much energy is directed toward fear, separation, and conflict, we are asking a different question:
What experiences allow people to listen, imagine, create, belong and empower each other?
How the laboratory is organised
The lab is organised through three interconnected tracks running simultaneously. Every output is built from all three dimensions — they cannot be separated.
Who should join?
We value resonance
and mutual respect,
built through deep listening.
People who transform their pain into beauty or their joy into generosity. Inspired to create what the world calls for now.
What happens?
Sessions take place during July – August 2026. It is a mix of live gatherings and asynchronous collaboration.
Meet the community, explore the project, and prepare for the journey ahead.
Because participants will be joining from multiple countries and time zones, the exact session times have not yet been finalized.
We will offer gathering windows for each Collaboratorium session to accommodate participants across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
By registering your interest now, you can help us determine the most accessible schedule.
At the foot of Mount Fuji
Vice-chairperson, Byakko Shinko Kai
Fuji Sanctuary in Japan was created by Byakko Shinko Kai — a place where people from many nations, cultures, and faiths have gathered for nearly three decades in prayer for peace.
The heart of Fuji Sanctuary is a sacred field surrounded by the flags of the world, where people gather often to offer attention, intention, ritual and care as powerful, unseen forces in service to all beings on Mother Earth.
For the last 6 months, the Radiant IRIS collective and Byakko Shinko Kai have been wondering how to translate the essence of their Seven Station Ritual for World Peace into a form for the next generation and offer their wisdom cross-culturally.
The Collaboratorium will be another step toward the realization of this dream. We will offer the library of meaningful interactive rituals to Byakko Shinko Kai to see if any of the experiences can be in service for an October 2026 ceremony to repattern WWII energy.
One thousand and one moons ago, nations from around the world unleashed great destruction with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At this pivotal energetic juncture, we are again bringing cultures from around the world to unleash great creativity in service to revitalizing indigenous storytelling wisdom through modern technology.
The groups that create rituals selected for the October ceremony will be invited to participate in this offering if they wish. Radiant IRIS collective wishes this Collaboratorium to be the first of many that will eventually lead to in-person and online seasonal gatherings that will keep weaving cross-cultural communities together.

Questions & answers
Submitting the form does not commit you to participate. It simply helps us understand who is interested and how to design the experience together.
Collaboratorium is free to join. There is no cost to participate in the online laboratory.
Collaboratorium is a volunteer-based creative laboratory. There is no financial compensation. Participants gain access to a multidisciplinary creative community, collaborative projects, new relationships, and learning opportunities.
Participants are encouraged to attend the sessions and engage between as their schedule allows. There is flexibility in how deeply you choose to participate.
The sessions are designed to accommodate participants across Asia, Europe, and North America. Session times will be finalized after applications are reviewed. Asynchronous participation will also be available, so you can contribute on your own schedule.
Before the laboratory begins, all participants will receive clear information about how contributions, credit, and future use of materials will be handled. Our intention is a process that is transparent, fair, and aligned with the spirit of collaboration.
Every Collaboratorium seasonal cycle produces new ideas and prototypes, experience concepts, rituals, participation models, and creative partnerships. But perhaps more importantly: a deeper capacity to create together, relationships that continue beyond a single project, and a shared language among collaborators.
The Collaboratorium will be conducted primarily in English and Japanese. We welcome participants from all linguistic backgrounds and will do our best to support cross-cultural communication throughout.
