Teen's Aikido: A class designed for teens (13-17 years) allowing them to grow into mature martial artists

Ikebana: An ongoing class teaching the contemplative art of Japanese flower arrangement - Registration and additional fees required

Zazen: It is our intent with this class to explore in greater detail all of the traditional training forms of Rinzai Zen inherited from our lineage. The class will focus on seated and walking meditation (zazen and kinhin), Zen exercises to improve meditation posture, breathing exercises to activate the hara (center of energetic strength located in the lower abdomen), and Zen calligraphy (hitsuzendo). Other practices such as chanting, tea ceremony, hojo (sword training), and meditation through manual labor and meals will also be explored from time to time.
