| SAT, JAN 21 | **Kagami Biraki | Flier | Thank you for joining us for WAAI Gathering 2023 Kagami Biraki with the Spirit of our Dearest Okimura Shihan, the opening of the new year, the year of the rabbit! ε εΉ΄ ππΈπ°βοΈ Shihan has taught us that Kagami Biraki is the "unveiling" of the mirror, the "reflection of our true nature, the real self" and each one of us is like a kernel of rice experiencing life, tightly together like the Kasane Mochi! We, WAAI Family, once again gathered together to make it a memorable time in reverence to Shihan's teachings, this profound knowledge and unique lineage, and to live up to the legacy that was bestowed upon us, direct Aikidoka descendants, forever grateful of this beautiful gift to humanity. Always remaining connected and unified, from making mochi to demonstrations of our learning, the presence of Our Dearest Shihan was indeed within all of our movements, spirits, and hearts! β€οΈ | On the Mat and Online |
