Kyudo Gathering

with Jim Boorstein

August 31 - September 4, 2022

Celebrating 30 Years of Kyudo Practice at the Azuchi

Since its construction in 1992, the Azuchi at Karmê Chöling has stood the test of time. Through countless programs and practices, many have experienced and contributed to the energy of this special place.

This year, Seiko warmly welcomes instructor, Jim Boorstein from NYC’s Toko Kyudojo. Together we offer an opportunity to join with fellow practitioners for an extended period of group practice in a retreat setting. The program is open to all who have taken First Shot.
