Meditation and Martial Arts practices often cultivate common foundational principles; Zen and Aikido, in particular, are closely related. This workshop will explore some of these commonalities - breathwork, balance and physical embodiment, harmonization, attention, and investigation of self and mind - and give basic posture instructions for you to continue on your own or with others, ending with two short sits together. No experience is necessary. It will be led by Alec Davis, who practices at Baltimore Aikido and is a student at Dai Bosatsu Zendo in New York, and an organizer for Burning House Zendo here in Baltimore, both in the Rinzai tradition
