The purpose of Aikido is to build a heaven on earth by bringing people together in friendship and harmony. I teach this Art to help my students learn how to serve their human beings. O’Sensei
In challenging times, we value our Aiki community. It is essential to come together to train and share the joy of the Art of Peace. Aikido’s principles can improve how we interact with others. O’Sensei’s words show how Aikido can transform us and those around us.
Aikido training, accommodations, meals, and socializing happen within the community at Granlibakken Retreat. Everything you need is readily available. The experience is unique and inclusive, with a lot of love, thought, and planning put into it.
We offer scholarships for the 2025 Retreat to help you attend. We will support you to make sure you can join. You are welcome for any duration of the retreat. If you know of other Aikidoists who are interested in attending the retreat and could use assistance, please let them know about our scholarship fund.
