Attunement of Wata-tsu-mi Sanjin
This course offers intermediate practitioners a rigorous, historically informed pathway to attunement with the three sea deities collectively called Wata‑tsu‑mi Sanjin. Rooted in close readings of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki and informed by Japanese maritime animist practice, the curriculum combines textual grounding, energetic anatomy of tidal, salinity, and current vectors, and progressive somatic rituals. Students learn daily, lunar, and seasonal rites alongside precise protocols for consent, offering economies, and boundary work. Practical movement, breath, and water‑based exercises encode ritual intent so attunement translates into emotional adaptability, abundance practice, and ethically integrated livelihood choices. This is not devotional fantasy or syncretic ceremonialism; it is pragmatic, lineage‑aware training for durable relationship with sea presences.
