An Aikido retreat near Barcelona Spain

with Malory Graham and
Anthea Pascaris

Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.

O’Sensei, (founder of Aikido) The Art of Peace

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.

What Makes This Seminar Different?

Unlike conventional seminars that focus solely on training, this retreat offers a holistic experience designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit:

  • Guided Moving & Sitting Meditation

  • Training Outside in Nature

  • Nutritious & Thoughtful Meals

  • Stunning, Restful Setting

Who is this for?

All Aikido practitioners, beginners through advanced, especially if you are interested in:

  • Looking a little deeper into your practice, beyond the form of techniques alone

  • Rediscovering your connection to Aikido

  • Experiencing the transformative power of stepping away from distractions and tuning into yourself

  • Returning home refreshed and with a renewed perspective on your practice and its place in your life

We also welcome partners, friends and family to enjoy the beauty of the venue and join in as many or few activities as they like.
