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.
