Two Cranes Aikido

Two Cranes welcomes Mary Heiny Sensei for a weekend seminar. Join us for her inspired dynamic teaching! Link in bio to register!

Thank you all for joining us at our Winter Seminar. In the last week of January Mary Heiny, Joanne Veneziano, Melissa Bell Sensei's and I gathered in rainy Seattle to engage in conversation… an aiki conversation. I was delighted to host my teacher and friends, old and new, to explore and share what was meaningful in our practices right now! Most important, all weekend we enjoyed each other’s company, laughed uproariously, riffed on each other’s classes, and radiated our inspiration throughout the room. You could feel the joy on the mat. “How do you make two be one?” queried Mary Sensei. And Joanne mused: “how do you use sound to enhance your sense of connection with your partner?” Melissa rolled her arm in a continuous figure eight across uke’s body, offering a clue to maintaining a seamless connection. We naturally focused on the similarities of our studies and offered students a way to see a principle, a technique through several lenses.

Seminars are a powerful way to come together from all over the city, all over the country. We can remember who we are to each other and engage in practices that extend loving kindness and deep compassion throughout the globe. Gratitude for all who participated in this rich event.
