Awareness-Based Learning
A curriculum of embodied and conceptual practice to recognize and dissolve conditioning. Kanso Arts integrates zazen, whole‑body mechanics, and co‑inquiry to cultivate non‑attached awareness.
Philosophy
Austere in form yet fertile in practice: Kanso Arts cultivates unconditioned cognition through seated and standing meditation, dimensional mechanics (alignment/rotation/translation), and disciplined co‑inquiry. Ethics are implicit in clarity of mind, not imposed as rule‑sets.
Non-dual orientation
All forms arise from awareness and express polarity through conditioning; practice returns attention to direct perception.
Functional Simplicity
Embodied Inquiry
Kanso: remove the non-essential to let function and elegance converge in posture, language, and schedule.
Movement drills expose:
imbalance→observation→response;
training somatic-epistemic clarity without moral prescription.
