Not your typical Aikido seminar…
In the whirlwind of daily life, it’s easy to pour out all your energy, leaving your well of inspiration and vitality running dry. Between work, responsibilities, and the constant buzz of modern distractions, many of us feel drained or disconnected—from ourselves, from our passions, and even from the practices we hold dear.
But what if the solution isn’t about doing more, but doing less?
Take a moment to reflect: What is your relationship with Aikido? How has it evolved over the years? Whether you're training with passion or navigating a lull in your practice, this seminar invites you to rediscover the depth, joy, and purpose of your Aikido journey.
Aikido is a relationship
Over time, we all experience ebbs and flows in our relationship with Aikido. Remember the thrill of those early days, when you couldn’t wait to step onto the mat? And those challenging times as a seasoned practitioner, wondering where that spark went?
Aikido is more than techniques or a physical practice—it’s a relationship. This seminar is your opportunity to look at your relationship with Aikido either as a beginner or an advanced practitioner. Take this opportunity to nurture your motivation and receive the gifts that come from reconnecting with your true nature.

Guided Moving & Sitting Meditation
