2007 National Ki Conference

[Saint Louis Ki Society]

Information is slowly coming out about the National Conference taught by Shinichi Tohei Sensei.

The dates for this years training are June 21-22-23 & 24. I think the 21st is for Chief Instructors, and it may be that Head and Lead Instructors will also be invited.
If you have been to one of these you know how informative and friendly they are. I hope many of you can go this year. It will be held in Silver Springs Maryland. Room reservations (special rate) will be at the Hilton Hotel in Silver Springs (me at a Hilton!?).

Formal details will follow when they are available. Feel free to post any additional infomation you may have. It's my understanding that the details will be sent to Ki Society dojos in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you, Sensei, for posting this!

The dates for this years training are June 21-22-23 & 24. I think the 21st is for Chief Instructors, and it may be that Head and Lead Instructors will also be invited.

As I recall from last year's listing, the first day was an Instructor's Class for all black and brown belts. Might be different this year, but I'd be sad to miss that intense first day of "teaching how to teach".

It will be held in Silver Springs Maryland. Room reservations (special rate) will be at the Hilton Hotel in Silver Springs. <...> It's my understanding that the details will be sent to Ki Society dojos in the next couple of weeks.

Please post every data and info you get as soon as possible. People need to plan ahead, book flights etc. And since all of you head and lead instructors are volunteers with other jobs and preferences, information flow within some of the dojos understandably might be slow occasionally and not reach everybody in time.

Looking forward to see many of you Ki-folks again in June!
