NEWS OF THE DAY:
There are hopeful negotiations going on with Kees Kort of Netherlands, an accomplished student of Ichiro Seki to participate on the event.
Morning meditations and excercises will be led by a superb yoga teacher Ajay Bobade, who underwent numerous programmes and courses in India and the Himalayas and is a declared yoga teacher by Pantajal Institute of Yoga, Pune, India. The excercises will be followed by zazen, so that with our heart open and our mind clear we may learn the most.
Furthermore, we agreed on cooperation with European Shakuhachi Society to establish a flourishing shakuhachi community in Europe. So come to Prague and help the dream come true.
Yours,
Marek Matvija
