Ken Koshio News - Upcoming Events

Dear Friends and Family,

Happy Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month! May we all take this time to celebrate the diverse cultures, rich traditions, and valuable contributions of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities to our society.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to Manzanar, California and perform at local events such as the Scottsdale Jazz Festival this month, which has helped me gain new perspectives and appreciation.

As I continue to climb Piestewa Peak every morning, I hold onto my hopes and prayers for a better world, and I encourage everyone to take care of themselves and those around them, and to always approach life with a positive mindset.

One Love,

Sincerely,

Ken Koshio

Japanese calligraphy, known as Shodo, is rich in its history and form.

Eriko shows how this practice can connect body, mind, spirit, and brush to flow through the ink and paper. Learn how to gravitate between the practical aspect of calligraphy and its spiritual component, for instance, writing with a calligraphy brush, smelling the mind-calming scent of simple sumi ink, or concentrating your mind.

April has been an incredibly exciting and eventful month for us, with a wide range of engaging activities and experiences! From hosting an open house in Mesa to performing in Cottonwood, we've had a diverse set of opportunities! And had the chance to join the Scottsdale Jazz Festival and explore new fusions with Taiko and Jazz was truly something new and refreshing.

Thank you for another great month!

Thank You for your Continuous Love and Support! One Love!
