The Communication of
Aikido
Mary Heiny
Linda Holiday
Kimberly Richardson
How does Aikido training develop our capacity for effective, non-violent communication? In what ways does Aikido cultivate the ability to listen, perceive, and connect deeply and well? How can we act in ways which are peaceful, powerful, and express the essential principles of Aikido?
What was the nature of O Sensei’s communication? What did he wish to
communicate to the world, and to us as students and teachers on the
path of Aikido? How is Aikido communicated?
Please join us in
addressing these questions in the context of practice. In addition to
an intensive on-the-mat Aikido training schedule, there will be a
workshop presented by Mary Heiny Sensei on "Nonviolent Communication"
to stimulate our inquiry into Aikido principles. All three instructors
will participate in a panel discussion focusing on "The Communication
of O Sensei". There will also be opportunities to watch videos of the
founder of Aikido, to meditate, and to make a deep connection with
Nature.
There is a
wonderful "magic" which occurs when we gather together to train and to
intensify our inquiry into the heart of Aikido. We welcome sincere
Aikido students of all levels and from all dojos.
Mary Heiny, 6th Dan
Seattle, Washington
After years
studying Aikido in Japan in the 60’s and 70’s, Mary Heiny served as
Chief Instructor of several dojos in the United States and Canada. A
North American treasure of Aikido with over 35 years experience, Mary
Sensei’s dynamic technique is complemented by her accessible, eloquent
and empowering teaching style.
Linda Holiday, 5th dan
Chief Instructor of North Bay Aikido in Santa Cruz, CA.
Linda Holiday
began her study of Aikido in 1970. She trained intensively in Japan for
several years, and since 1976 has devoted herself to the development of
North Bay Aikido. Linda Sensei focuses on the integration of the
physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of training. She loves the
practice of Misogi (purification) - its traditional roots and our
contemporary practice here and now.
Kimberly
Richardson began her 26 years of training with Mary Heiny Sensei.
Determined athleticism, psychotherapy practices, body work training and
energy awareness skills are key elements of her spirited teaching.
Kimberly Sensei has studied throughout the United States, Canada and
Japan, most notably with Saotome, Anno, Ikeda and Read Senseis.
