Event finished. This event was in the past: 11:00am on Saturday, April 06, 2024
Join us for a one-hour class in the Japanese art of Shintaido. Shintaido is characterized by a sense of optimism conveyed through peaceful movement.
With spiritual roots in the martial, spiritual, and aesthetic arts of Japan, Shintaido was developed by young people in post-war Japan as a new way of peace that seeks to balance the cultivation and care of self with that of others. The movements provide the basis of a meditative practice, self-awareness, and fluid exercise that is appropriate for all adults, regardless of any notion of talent or ability.
Each one-hour class will provide a basic introduction to this physical art that cultivates the mind, body, and spirit. Feel free to attend as many of the four classes as you wish. Classes will be offered on weekly on Saturday at 11 am from April 6-April 27.
Classes on Saturday, April 6 and April 27 ill be held in Meeting Room 2 on the second floor.
Classes on Saturday, April 13 and April 20 will be held in Meeting Room 1 on the second floor.
Lee Ordeman is a Senior Instructor of Shintaido, which he has practiced for 35 years. He studied directly under the art's several masters in the U.S. and Japan and has taught in Japan, Europe, and the U.S.
