Pacific Aikido Federation (PAF) is hosting the Aikido Winter Retreat. This year we again have the opportunity to train with senior students of Shiohira Sensei, 7th Dan Shihan.

The Winter Retreat will be held in Sonoma County at the CYO Retreat Center near Occidental, CA. The center is located in a coastal forest surrounded by redwoods.

It has a beautiful and spacious lodge with a large training area. Food and sleeping accommodations are provided. This is an opportunity for concentrated Aikido training in a beautiful, natural setting. All Aikido practitioners, regardless of rank or affiliation, are invited to participate.

This year the retreat will be three days of training from Friday to Sunday with 6 aikido classes. Note that the last class on Sunday will end at 12:00. Sleeping cabins and 6 meals, including a vegetarian option, are provided. Directions and the schedule are available at the website.
