 The
annual New Years Silent Training followed by Origami
Crane Folding and Firepit
was held Monday night (1/5/09).
This is probably my favorite annual event.
We train for an hour in silence, followed by folding our New Years wishes
into paper cranes, and finally we burn last years cranes in the firepit over
sake & beer. Thanks to everyone who participated! |
