Description:

Starting with sitting meditation, the experience of sitting and breathing in a stationary position is explored.

T'ai-chi ch'uan follows, giving the student basic principles of how the body/mind moves in the world. Aikido explores principles of how one person moves and interacts with another. Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) examines principles of how one relates to an object in space. This course is designed so students can experience the essence of these contemplative practices.
