An invitation to join early morning mediation

During the week leading up to our kangeiko events many people like to prepare with daily meditation.

To help this process British Shintaido invites you to join a series of short morning Taimyo sessions this week, led by Ula Chambers on Zoom. This invitation is open whether or not you can come to our kangeiko event.

If you are coming to kangeiko this will be an excellent preparation for our practice.

If you cannot join us, but wish to remain in community with others at this special time of year, this is for you.

The tradition of meditating together at the start of the year has a long history in shintaido practice. We  welcome the new season by calming and grounding ourselves and developing a peaceful, connected group consciousness.
