Zen Archery: Meditation in Action
A full day of beginning instruction in the meditative art and basic form of Kyudo, or Zen Archery. Along with learning the technical aspects of the form, participants will be introduced to the more meditative dimensions: focusing on breathing, letting go of self-critical thoughts and embodying a relaxed mind.
The day will culminate in the student's 'first shot' which becomes the foundation for their further practice.
