A Letter From Your Host,
Miles Kessler
Hello All,
I'm totally excited to be inviting you to this first of it’s kind online gathering of the GLOBAL AIKIDO TRIBE.
“Aikido At The Leading Edge” Tele-Summit was a 10-day online gathering of some of the Aikido world’s leading voices. I invite you to join me and learn from these inspiring men and women as they share their perspectives and vision of the art.
In my 30 plus years in Aikido it has always amazed me how when we come together as a community, and explore the art with a clear intention and an open heart, the wisdom of Aikido actually begins to speak through us. It is true that our teachers help us to tap into Aikido's wisdom. But for this wisdom to be expressed in the world, it is very clear that Aikido also needs us.
In my teaching travels, here in my home dojo, and in our online community, I am regularly approached by people who long to bring the Aikido community together in this higher purpose. Simply because we love to learn, to explore, and to practice TOGETHER.
There is an old African saying that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” It is with this clear communal intention that I have envisioned this Tele-Summit.
Let’s walk this Path together and co-create "Aikido At The Leading Edge“
With Love,
Miles Kessler
The Integral Dojo

ABOUT YOUR TELE-SUMMIT HOST
Miles Kessler Bio
Miles Kessler Sensei is an American teacher of Aikido (6th Dan), meditation, and Integral Practice. He lived in Asia for over 12 years achieving mastery in both Aikido and meditation.
For 8 years Miles lived in Japan and studied Aikido full time at the famous Iwama dojo with the late Morihiro Saito Sensei (9th dan Aikikai), including one year as a live-in apprentice (uchi deshi).
After leaving Japan Miles spent a total of 3 years on intensive Vipassana meditation retreats. He practiced under the guidance of the renowned Burmese meditation master Sayadaw U Pandita in Burma, and Sayadaw U Vivekananda in Lumbini, Nepal. It was under their close guidance that Miles finished his formal meditation training in 2006.
Miles holds lineage in both the Iwama tradition of Aikido, and the Mahasi tradition of Vipassana meditation. This dual lineage is a rare accomplishment, making Miles a unique gift among western teachers.
Miles has been teaching internationally and guiding individuals and groups in developmental and transformational work for the past 20 years.
Miles has lived in Israel since 2006, where he is the guiding teacher of the Integral Dojo - Tel Aviv, a center for Aikido, Dharma, and Integral Practice.
