🎭 YARDLEY’S CREATIVE SPIRIT SHOW 🌳

We are very pleased to be supporting Yardley’s Creative Spirit Show — a wonderful evening bringing our community together through music, performance, creativity and celebration.

The show will feature a fantastic variety of local talent, along with a very special performance from the legendary Rick Wakeman CBE. 🎹✨

At Masamune Dojo, we believe strongly in the importance of community, wellbeing and creating opportunities for people to come together. This special event will also support the continuing campaign to save Barrows Lane Playing Fields and secure this important green space for future generations.

🌳 The vision is about much more than simply saving the land. It is about creating a lasting community legacy where people of all ages can enjoy sport, exercise, nature, fresh air and beautiful open space for many years to come.

We would love to see members, friends, families and supporters of Masamune Dojo join us for what promises to be a very special evening. ❤️

🌿 MINDFULNESS AT MASAMUNE DOJO 🌿

It has been wonderful to see the positive impact our Mindfulness sessions at Masamune Dojo are having within our local community.

People from all walks of life, different ages and abilities are coming together to enjoy Tai Chi, Yoga, Tessan Fan and mindful movement — taking time away from the pressures of everyday life to relax, reconnect and focus on their wellbeing.

What has been especially encouraging is seeing people enjoying the sessions, building confidence, forming new friendships and developing a real sense of community and belonging. For some, it is about reducing stress and finding calm; for others, it is improving movement, balance, focus or simply having a welcoming place to connect with others.

The support we have received from Sport England has been invaluable, helping us to develop these activities and reach more local people, including some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

A huge thank you to Sport England for helping us make a genuine difference through movement, mindfulness, friendship and community. ❤️

Together, we are growing wellbeing — one session at a time. 🌿

🌿 Our Eco-Friendly Sensory Garden Is Coming to Life! 🌿

Our organic, eco-friendly sensory garden is slowly taking shape — and we’re doing everything we can to protect all our tiny neighbours who call it home!

🐸 A very polite frog tried to join class this week!
We found him patiently waiting right outside the dojo door… clearly eager to practice his froggy footwork! He was still sitting there when we finished — absolutely adorable.

🦔 Rosey the hedgehog is doing brilliantly.
After we rescued her, the wonderful team at the Solihull Hedgehog Rescue Centre took great care of her. We’re so grateful for their kindness.

🐍🐝 And of course, we can’t forget our precious slow worms, bees, and the solitary bees living safely in the embankment.
Goodness me — so many little lives to protect!

Every day, our garden reminds us that nature thrives when we look after it gently. Thank you to everyone supporting this beautiful, calming space. More updates (and cute visitors!) coming soon. 💚🌱
