On January 25th, 2026, at 5:00 pm (CET), I will be offering a free online workshop to celebrate the fifth anniversary of my virtual shakuhachi dojo on Patreon 🥳🎶🕊️

Virtual Shakuhachi Dojo

I started this dojo in February 2021, during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then, this intimate space has been home to many meditations, tutorials, stories, and recordings, created to help you discover the shakuhachi, deepen your meditation practice, or improve your playing.

Beyond exclusive content, the dojo is also a place where you can connect with me personally.

This work is my humble legacy to the world. The motto I wrote at the very beginning still guides everything I do:

When you realise that the ultimate happiness is being yourself and that nobody can be better than you at it, then the competitive ego disappears. Remains the deep motivation to do your best at being yourself, for you and for the world. This is what this project is about.

Registration

To register, join the dojo for free and answer the poll in this post.

Registration is required to receive the workshop link and music notation.

The workshop will be held on Teams and will last 60 minutes.

The Workshop

We’ll begin with a Meditation for World Peace, followed by a sharing of my composition Simplicity and some time for questions.

You don’t need to prepare anything. Simply bring your shakuhachi and your motivation. Players of all levels are welcome. This gathering is intended as a sharing experience rather than a formal class.

I’ll be happy to meet you and hear your questions and feedback!

Looking forward to seeing you online 😊

“Simplicity is where art transcends the ordinary, bringing clarity and balance.”

HAPPY 2026!
