Seishindo Personal Growth Workshop in Washington, D.C.

• Lacking nothing, you are already complete.
• You are a "part" of life, and integrally connected to the whole of life.
• It is your weaknesses and imperfections that make you perfect.
• You are a unique and cherished manifestation of life, never to be duplicated.

During the course of this workshop we will weave together theory, poetry, music, movement, practical applications, and a clear encounter of reconnecting to your core identity.

This workshop will draw on the teachings of Aikido, the Japanese healing arts of "Sei Tai" and "Seiki Jutsu", Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP, and the Practices of various mindfulness disciplines.

His work offers great insights into the unity of mind and body in clear, simple language that is immediately graspable and at the same time shatters any rigid conceptions one might be holding.
