Our annual Misogi Purification Practice will be held at the dojo on 12/31/23 Sunday at 6pm. This long tradition at the dojo helps to bring in the New Year and to refocus our minds and bodies on the challenges of the upcoming year.
After class, we normally have a toast to the New Year and to Henry Smith Sensei.
Please welcome the New Year with a vigorous mindful Aikido class.
