Dimensions of Shintaido

At the core of life dwells our connectedness to
the 4 great dimensions of our being:

Ten (mystery, universe, our cosmic roots)

Chi (great nature, our geological & biological roots)

Jin (people, ancestry, culture, our socio-economic roots)

Ware (self, mind-body, our spiritual connectedness)

The great emerging story of our time is that we have been born out of mystery (the unknown, unseen, the non-visible) and out of this great flow of creativity comes time & space: the universe - from potential waves to stardust - galaxies - the earth - geosphere - atmosphere - biosphere - life - bacteria - worms - mammals - humans - language - culture - systems and everything in-between.

What Shintaido offers is a highly positive and effective way to re-connect with these 4 core dimensions of our being. By using movement that activates and integrates, meditation that deepens, kumite* that develops care and empathy, and forms that open us to our own hidden potentials, the appreciation of life and what it means to be living in this age.
