About the Retreat

The Santa Cruz Aikido Summer Retreat generates a training atmosphere of sincerity and mutual respect.   We aim to integrate body, mind and spirit in the practice of Aikido, inspired by the teachings of the founder, Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei. Our theme for the 2020 Summer Retreat is “Aikido: A Healing Practice.”

Every time we practice Aikido and express its peacemaking philosophy, we build the World Family. Aikido training builds mutual respect, understanding and support, extending to all people, of diverse race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, and physical ability. Aikido has the capacity to bring people of many backgrounds and cultures together, in a practice of peace and transformation.
