Clearwater Aikikai Seminar with Bob Moline Shihan - Oct. 3-5, 2025

Bob Moline Shihan has graciously offered to visit Clearwater Aikikai this coming October to lead a Fall Seminar. This will be the “sister seminar” of the Kootenay Aikido Collective’s Spring Seminar, which was held last May 2-4, and we are looking forward to a continuation of this learning opportunity!
 
As well, Grant Babin Shidoin will be coming to help kick off the Fall Session of Clearwater Aikikai’s youth program with a real wha-bam! This is sure to cause some excitement among Clearwater’s Mat Rats!

Accommodations:

Some billeting is available, but please contact Myrna ASAP to reserve a spot. Alternatively, Stay Clearwater still has a few units available, but accommodation in Clearwater tends to fill up quickly in the autumn because Wells Gray Park is BEAUTIFUL!  Stay Clearwater is once again giving seminar participants a 20% discount, so be sure to use  the code CWAIKIDO if you book a room online. You can go to their website HERE. If you have any issues when trying to book a room, then please email Stay Clearwater directly at info@stayclearwater.com or call toll free 1-877-674-3307. (The “Glamping Cabins” are quite nice; the washroom/shower is in a separate building - but it’s close and comfortable! Even for middle-of-the-night visits!)

Socials:

Of course! But we need to know who is coming before making plans
