The Principles of Natural Law are the rules by which all things in our world function and behave.  Insight into these Laws, and behavior within their parameters, are essential in the highest levels of performance in all endeavors.  This retreat experience will offer guidance in returning to the source, in an essential interpretation of Mother Nature’s lessons, from the 770-year-old art Kosho Shorei Ryu.

   If you are interested in True holistic health, are a martial artist, a natural healer, or simply a seeker of Truth and inner peace, this retreat is for you!  It will deepen your understanding of nature, and yield great insight into yourself.  We will begin with slowing down using Zen walking meditation, leaving space and time for quiet retreat within your heart-mind.  We will walk and hike together through some beautiful natural environments, among strong New England- weathered trees, beautiful vistas, glacial boulders, and by peaceful streams.  And you will learn to understand your relationship to these things as interpreted through ancient Asian philosophy.  The Kosho Shorei Ryu Japanese Warrior-Healer tradition offers many exercises in nature to help us understand the macrocosmic and microcosmic universe that we all inhabit.  You will come away from this experience with new insight, deeper understanding, and a renewed sense of natural ease and vitality.  This is Kosho Shorei True Self-Defense!
