Susan Newton (4th Dan) from the United States has kindly agreed to share with us and will teach a class on Tuesday, 29 November at the UCT Aikido Club (19h00 - 21h00)!
Susan began her study of Aikido with Robert Frager Sensei (7th Dan) at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto, California in 1992, as part of her doctoral program in psychology. Following graduation and licensure as a Clinical Psychologist in California, she traveled to Tokyo to deepen her practice in its home culture. While serving the international community as a psychotherapist, she had the great good fortune to study with Kato Sensei (8th Dan) for 10 years.
Now living in Portland, Oregon, Susan works as a psychologist and consultant in private practice, a free-lance editor, as well as instructing her own practice group in Aikido. Also in the Diploma Program of the Process Work Institute, Susan takes care of the Lao Tse Press.
