This teaching, expressed in many ways by O-Sensei, the founder of Aikido, reminds us that the Art of Peace must be practiced with joy, vitality, and sincerity. It calls us to meet our partners with love and compassion, to learn from one another without judgment, and to turn our attention inward—refining and polishing our own spirit. As he taught, “True victory is self-victory.” In this seminar, "Aikido is a Matter of the Heart,” we return to that essential spirit of openness, warmth, and connection. Together, we will explore how to embrace our partners fully, not only through technique but through presence, generosity, and heartfelt intention. This is an invitation to continually open ourselves, to act from the center of the heart, and to extend that openness to everyone we meet on and off the mat. Now more than ever, there is a quiet urgency in this practice. As human beings, we are challenged to move beyond division and toward understanding, to replace competition with cooperation, and conflict with compassion.” —Kayla Feder ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ✨ TEA & TALK — something special this year This year's Tea & Talk session will be a real treat: 📖 Kayla Sensei will speak with us about the book she is currently writing, "Aikido Is a Matter of the Heart", in the form of a special interview. There will be plenty of room for shared exchange, so that everyone can join the conversation, ask questions, and share their own thoughts and experiences. 🍵 📖 Joining us this year, live from New York: Jon Di Luca, editor of Kayla Sensei’s book and host of the podcast “Ki to the City”. 🔍 What are the practices that keep Kayla Sensei centered, beyond Aikido? And what’s the one message she hopes readers will take away from her book? 🍵 Japanese miso soup, coffee, tea and snacks will be served — free of charge. (Few martial arts weekends happen around a soup. We think more of them should.😊) This Tea & Talk session is included in your seminar fee if you book the full seminar or one of the Saturday options, otherwise it can be booked separately via the registration form. 🎥 We invite you to watch this 1-minute video about the seminar: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FU1j6Eb6E/?mibextid=wwXIfr ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ 🕚 SCHEDULE SATURDAY 11:00 - 13:30 aikido 13:30 - 15:00 lunch, tea & talk with Kayla 🫖🎤 15:00 - 17:30 aikido 18:30 get together dinner (not included) SUNDAY 11:00 - 14:00 aikido ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ 🍽 DINNER, on Saturday, optional Join us at a restaurant close to the seminar venue, location to be announced.

In 1973 at age of 9 Kayla fell in love with Aikido and now has over 50 years of continuous training in the art. For the first 20 years of her practice, she was greatly inspired by training under Morihiro Saito Shihan, who was one of the Morihei Ueshiba’s closest students. In 1980 Kayla Sensei traveled to Iwama, Japan to train with Saito Shihan as an uchi deshi (live-in apprentice). During subsequent trips to study Aikido in Japan, Sensei trained under many direct students of the founder of Aikido, including Kisshomaru Ueshiba, Seiichi Sugano, Motomichi Anno, and Kazuo Chiba. Since childhood she has also practiced with and been strongly influenced by Frank Doran Shihan, Robert Nadeau Shihan, and Hiroshi Ikeda Shihan. Kayla Sensei teaches seminars throughout the US and Europe. In addition to her Aikido accomplishments she received a Masters degree in Holistic Health Education from JFK University. Kayla Sensei recognizes that we all have different bodies, histories, ages and learning styles. She is dedicated to making Aikido accessible for anyone and her teaching style supports the individual growth of each student. She has created a warm and welcoming community at Aikido of Berkeley. Sensei also includes yoga and meditation practices as part of the training at Aikido of Berkeley. She views Aikido as a holistic art and has said: “There is no end to the growth and learning we aspire to through our Aikido practice both on and off the mat”. She continues to dedicate herself to the daily process of changing and growing within herself and her practice and teaching of Aikido. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ 📍 SEMINAR LOCATION Münchener Straße 49, 10779 Berlin https://goo.gl/maps/wttr6yLVQ26T1S6Q8 ☕️ Free coffee, tea, water bottles, bananas & snacks for all participants 🥋 Soft cotton mats for more comfort and less bruises during ukemi 📚 Indoor hang-out area 🌳 Big outdoor court area without car transit, with trees and benches to relax and get some fresh air ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ In the meantime, we invite you to watch or read the following content about Kayla Feder Sensei: In the meantime, we invite you to watch or read the following content about Kayla Feder Sensei: 🎥 “Aikido is a Matter of the Heart" Kayla Feder Aikido Berlin Seminar 2026: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FU1j6Eb6E/?mibextid=wwXIfr 🎥 “Listen Deeply" Kayla Feder Aikido Berlin Seminar video 2024: https://fb.watch/tUd9JusES3/ 🎥 Kayla Feder Aikido Berlin seminar video 2023: https://fb.watch/m6ynRlubtl/ 📖 Aikido Journal interview "Never Stop Growing": https://aikidojournal.com/2022/06/10/kayla-feder-never-stop-growing/ 🎧 Kayla Feder Podcast Interview 1 "Open your Heart" - Ki to the City Aikido Podcast https://kitothecity.substack.com/p/open-your-heart 🎧 Kayla Feder Podcast Interview 2 "Aikido is a Matter of the Heart" - Ki to the City Aikido Podcast https://kitothecity.substack.com/p/aikido-is-a-matter-of-the-heart ℹ️ Follow the seminar page on Facebook to stay up to date: https://www.facebook.com/events/1860618777946600/ ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ◻️ Please bring your own weapons (ken, jo, tanto) 👥 Feel free to share the event with your aikido friends and students. 🌍 The seminar is open to all styles, levels and affiliations. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Grab your spot, bring your curiosity — and bring a friend.
