Aiki Budo Centre – Martial Arts
Aikido unites the elements of self defence, physical fitness and nonviolent philosophy into modern martial art. It involves mental training as well as physical, emphasizing the ability to relax mind and body even under stress. As skills develop, so will health, confidence and sense of accomplishment. Discipline that comes from within will change how you see yourself in relation to other people.
See a demo and participate in an introduction.

Conversations Never Had by Breath in Mvmt
We are a group of people who get together because we feel it’s important to tell these stories, and to do so through dance. We are not uniform, we do not blend in. We are imperfect; we are raw, bold, and unapologetic about what we have to say and how we say it. We are here to light fires from the inside of our audiences and make some people feel their own passion for life through our movement.
…For when we lose people and don’t have the chance – for when we are misunderstood or unheard – our words can be so lost on you, so let us express through movement…

Breathe Through Grief: Yoga & Support
Grief affects the whole self, our mind, body and spirit. The pain of loss becomes stuck in the body. With gentle movements of yoga, mindfulness and a deep connection to breath we become present to our inner-strength, open to releasing emotions held in the body, and learn to breathe through grief.
A special session for those in grief. Chairs will also be available for those who wish to participate without the yoga.
