This year marks the 16th time that Black Belts from across the US and Internationally have gathered for the Shin Ho Kwan Black Belt Winter Retreat. As always, the winter retreat will focus on the various mental aspects of Taekwondo. The 2009 retreat will concentrate on Meditation. It will cover several forms of meditation ranging from Do Meditation (traditional Korean) to an obscure form of Native American Meditation. Current scientific data concerning the effects of meditation on the mind and body will also be discussed. All meditations taught at this retreat will be non-religious in nature.
