Weisswasser is a small village in Austrian Silesia, today in the Czech Republic, situated just where the fertile plain of the River Neisse meets the steep hills of the Altvatergebirge. In an old hamlet outside the village, in a valley with rustling forest and seemingly magical warmth, we find tranquility for intensce practice in Karate and Stillness. The energy that emanates from the ground is amazingly uplifting. The environment is as lovely as it is harsh and the air smells mountainous, Both challenge us constantly. The inner clarity gained here is unique. Weisswasser is recreation for both body and soul, even without any practice.
