Website built on Aboriginal Land. We acknowledge the unceded sovereignty of Dippil, Jaggera, Goori, Kabi Kabi, Turrbal and surrounding peoples/countries. We acknowledge the ongoing grief, sorrow and resistance as well as the inheritance of genocide, ecocide and land trauma. Humbly, with gratitude and in pursuit of a decolonising solidarity, we pay respects to the peoples, languages, laws and ceremonies that have walked these lands since ancient times and support efforts for decolonisation and repatriation. We commit as part of our practice to work to unravel the world-shattering violence, dysfunction, isolation and wounded spaces which are hallmarks of modernity's routine daily functioning.

LIFE IS A PILGRIMAGE

Shugendō (修験道) is a 1400+ year-old syncretic tradition of training and testing, characterised by meditative practice, mountain-pilgrimage and periodic retreats centered on ritual death & rebirth.

REBIRTH THROUGH NATURE

The Koshikidake (甑嶽山) school's root temple, Kannon-ji (観音寺), is located in Yamagata prefecture, Japan. This is the branch-site of a practitioner located in Meanjin (Brisbane, Australia).

LEARNING THROUGH THE BODY

This site aims to assist in translating and making available information on Shugendō in general and to assist in translating practice material and commentaries for the school's internal use.
