member of Ken Gyu dojo where he learned these techniques from Frank sensei and his teacher Tomita Shihan a japanese grandmaster and student of the founder of Aikido: Morihei Ueshiba.
What's it about ?
In these workshops you 'll get introduced to ancient tools for modern-day challenges:
- Zazen is a tool to train your mind to keep seeing the whole picture.
- Makko Ho is another tool to prepare the body to get most out of an important day.
- Aikido provides a safe context to experience human interaction like influencing people & how to deal with resistance.
Is this something for me ?
When your daily job requires you to:
- handle a lot of information
- take important decisions
- work with difficult people
- influence stakeholders, customers, employees
- overcome resistance
prerequisites: preferable loose trousers & shirt, allowing to breath & move easily. if you have a zafu, feel free to bring it along. I'll bring a few of myself too.
The plan
at 6.55 am, before the xpday sessions begin, we come together for a short intro in Shikantaza ZaZen. Then we sit down and practice several short iterations during 20min.
When our mind is calm and attentive, we stand up and practice some of the traditional exercises inherited from the samurai, Chinese & Indian traditions. It is very interesting to feel how simple movements result in relaxing and energizing your body from the inside.
The last 20 min. with mind & body relaxed and ready, we start exchanging energy with one or more partners and learn how to handle ourselves in relation to others. The focus lays on staying balanced, in control and generally feeling free but still involved.
My objective
- Provide you with instant tools to handle stressful situations
- Introduce you to what may be the beginning of an enriching daily training. Because as simple as they appear, so endless can these arts be studied to realize how little we actually know.
Benefits for participants and presenter
After the workshop, you'll be energized & ready for a very interactive & productive day. As our ancestors already knew: Mens sana in corpore sana, is the foundation for great achievements.
The presenter is very keen to learn how to improve his ability to teach and share this knowledge.
Practical:
The workshop will be held on both days from 7.00 - 8.00 am.
After the workshop we 'll have breakfast together and be ready for a great XP-day.
