On Sunday, June 24, H. E. Davey Sensei will present special
workshops for children and adults at the Sennin Foundation Center
The Japanese yoga workshop will be for adults enrolled at our
dojo. The subject will be “Awakening Intelligence,” and Davey Sensei will cover
Nakamura Tempu Sensei’s ideas about the nature of intelligence and how it can
be cultivated by anyone and at any age. For Nakamura Sensei, “intelligence” was
defined in a unique way, a way that differs from IQ tests and SAT scores. Davey
Sensei, Sennin Foundation Director, will also cover the following associated topics:
- Calmness in action
- Clarity of perception in daily life
- Good judgment
- Positive thinking that enhances creativity
Instruction in related mind and body unification exercises, as
well as forms of practical meditation, will be offered to workshop
participants.
Following Japanese yoga training will be a workshop for children
and adults. It will focus on Saigo Ryu martial arts. Specifically, Davey Sensei
will cover tanto dori, “knife disarming” techniques. A wooden training knife
can be purchased at the dojo, and this workshop will be a continuation of last
month’s kids’ workshop on knife disarming. The response to this workshop was so
positive that Davey Sensei has decided to teach more tanto dori techniques to
both children and adults. It’s a big subject to cover and an important one as
well.
