AIM FOR A DEEPER CONNECTION

Journey into the spiritual practice of intuitive archery with lead Kripalu faculty Micah Mortali. A lifelong archer, Micah will bring you on a journey and guide you through the fundamentals of instinctive shooting. Similar to throwing a baseball, instinctive archery invites you to aim with your attention—allowing your whole being to become absorbed in the process.

In this exciting outdoor intensive, you learn:

  • The history of archery, as well as different styles and philosophical approaches including the ancient Vedic philosophy of Dhanurveda, Way of the Bow

  • The basic anatomy of the bow and arrow

  • The fundamentals of safe shooting

  • What trees and local materials make good bows and arrows

  • How to integrate breathwork to enhance your skill as an archer

Discover how archery can become a regular personal practice to help you achieve mindful awareness and a greater connection with the natural world. This practice is perfect for those who have always dreamed of drawing a bow and are looking for a dynamic, meditative practice with deep ancestral memory.
