    Dynamic Mediation

    Every other Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at NOLA Aikido in Mid City.

    Please check the calendar because dojo seminars and holidays will take precedence.

    This biweekly shared practice is rooted in Shingon Buddhism, which the founder of aikido, O Sensei, is said to have practiced in his youth. Jaime Dunkle will share what she’s learned from this tradition at temples in the Pacific Northwest. Practice will include a mix of visualization and vocalization meditation methods. We will use apps like Calm, Plum Village, Insight, or Sattva for guided meditations. We will also sometimes sit with the bell. Only a short portion of this shared practice is silent sitting meditation. Bring a foldable blanket, your favorite cushion, or use one at the dojo. And please feel free to offer feedback and your favorite mediation methods: this is meant to be a shared practice space and not an instructional class. Quiet late entry is OK. FREE for dojo members and open for FREE to the community.

    All community members must follow dojo rules on consent, respect, kindness, and personal hygiene so as to contribute to cultivating a safe and healthy practice space for all.
