Greetings,
This is a reminder to the Bando Family and others of the upcoming Spring Monk Camp in Maryland, which is scheduled for the third weekend in April (18th– 20th). With the theme "Challenging the Body, Mind, and Spirit," techniques presented during previous training sessions will be refined and new self-defense drills will be introduced. Attention will be focused on staff forms, yoga drills, and other approaches.
Similar to other camps in the area, there will be great accommodations, stimulating social interactions, and outstanding training sessions. We have worked with persons from different systems, with various training backgrounds, and of diverse ages during past camps and this Monk Camp will be no different in that regard. However, there will be special sessions for practitioners seeking advanced skills. Attached is a brief summary of Bando's Monk System that should help with questions about participant requirements.
Several persons have already registered and we hope to accommodate as many interested persons as possible, but the space is limited. Therefore it is important to register as soon as possible. Camp information and a registration form are attached. The registration form is 'fillable' for persons who have full versions of Adobe Acrobat (reader versions--which are free--are only for reading a document). Simply complete the form online and post it back to my email address. If you use the reader only, you will need to print the document, fill it out and mail it to me (Dr. Winborne).
Persons who plan to attend should be certain to bring along cushions, yoga mats, and/or blankets for meditation and indoor yoga/fitness sessions. Also, "personal" meditation beads and Min Zin stones should be brought along to the camp.
Please contact Fredi Prevost (202.270.0100) or me (410.869.7979) if you have any questions about this upcoming camp.
Again, we invite members of the Bando Family and others to attend, and look forward to seeing at the Spring 2008 Monk Camp in Maryland !
Peace,
