十二週 · Twelve Weeks
Three in-person courses, each unfolding over twelve weeks. Study is slow by design — the way the practice has traditionally been taught, and the way it settles most fully in daily life.
稽古 · Keiko — twelve weeks of practice
Our curriculum unfolds over twelve weeks at each level, allowing time for study, reflection, guided practice, and meaningful integration.
Each course is taught in person over twelve weeks, allowing time for study, practice, reflection, and meaningful integration into daily life.
Curriculum
Each level builds upon the one before it. Rather than presenting isolated techniques, the curriculum develops a steady relationship with daily practice, ethical cultivation, and direct teacher–student learning over time.
Level I
First Teachings
The foundation. Twelve weeks devoted to daily self-practice, the traditional Japanese techniques (Hatsurei-hō, Byōsen), and offering treatment to friends and family with care and clarity.
Focus
Level II
Inner Teachings
The deepening. A slow entry into the shirushi (symbols) and jumon (mantras), cultivating Earth ki and Heavenly ki, and developing the ethical responsibility that considered practice asks of every student.
Focus
Level III
Mystery Teachings
The lifelong path. For committed practitioners and future teachers — a return to the great emptiness at the heart of the system, and to the personal work that never ends.
Focus
Completion of a course marks the beginning of continued practice rather than the end of study. Students are encouraged to continue participating in the life of the Gakkai through regular gatherings, study, and community.
Enrolment is by application. We meet each prospective student before their first course to ensure the path is right for them, and for us.
