Aikido-Seminar New Year's training

TRAINING AND CLEANING FOR THE NEW YEAR

We want to begin the new year with a ceremony to cleanse the dojo, the body, and the mind. Saying goodbye to the past and welcoming what is coming in the new year.

At first, we will clean the dojo by vacuuming every corner and wiping in places that have never been touched by a cloth before.

Then, an intensive aikido training in silence to detoxify the body.

Finally, we continue with spiritual cleansing through a smoke ritual and Harai No Tachi, the purification cuts with the sword. The old spirits are allowed to leave, and the new ones are invited to stay.

We are excited to start the new year with you.
