"If I can do it, you can do it. We all are capable. The spirit has no age."
-Wim Hof

May 1st, Mayday, Spring in full swing! Get out and enjoy the sun and air! Summer is around the corner and we live in an amazing state.

I'm going to keep the Academy closed in May. I will host some Zoom classes, but more importantly, I am recording some lessons that you can follow whenever you like. And you can review them over and over! I hope to start with outdoor classes in June, but I truly don't know when that will be safe for us all. I'll send another mid-month check in.

I have given the e-mail list to Julie Cisler, so you will be getting updates from her as well as from me and the Academy. Julie is hosting Zoom classes and I encourage you all to partake.

Here are three places you can also get swords;

Thank you so much for sending tuition in these trying times. You are supporting me and this art with your generosity and concern. I especially love the notes and cards telling me how you are doing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

"I have been in many shapes
Before I assumed a constant form;
I have been a narrow sword,
A shining bright star,
A letter among words
In the Book of Origins."
-Taliesen
