webinar on 14 June. Bertram Wohak, Sensei and myself, Bill Leicht, responded to questions from the moderator, Paul Linden, Sensei, on how the martial arts uniquely support peacemaking. Then in two sessions, first participants paired up, got to know someone new and shared reactions and ideas, second the pairs and the whole group directed questions to the panel as well as offering their ideas about peacemaking both during Intl. Aik Peace Week (20-26 September 2015) and throughout the following year in their dojos. Some participants asked for help to become active peacemakers in their communities during IAPW, particularly with public relations strategies. Others asked for resources to deal with trauma, grieving, disease and other life problems. Several complimented Miles Kessler, Sensei on his vision for virtual conversations across national, cultural and organizational boundaries on matters of peace and spiritual life.
Linden invited Jamie Zimron, Sensei, representing Aiki Extensions' "Training Across Borders-2015" team to give a brief introduction to TAB-2015 near Athens (7-11 Oct.). She told us how "The seminar will bring together 200 aikidoka from conflict regions around the world to practice aikido and to replace barriers -- built by years of mistrust, fear, and hatred -- with foundations for friendship and peace."
