| Jonah opens the circle with a body-sensing exercise | The workshop opened with a brief review of trauma and how PTSD develops | Flexibility exercises which alternate between stiff-soldier pose and floppy octopus | Participants released powerful expressions of repressed anger in an exercise everyone always enjoys |
| Meanwhile, Josh received an eye exam from one of the local specialists | Outside of Sendai, the seaside areas have had all the rubble removed, leaving an eerie sense of desolation | A few foundations of houses and stores remain where once there was a thriving seaside village | Hundreds of businesses were destroyed |
| Hundreds of wrecked motorcycles piled by high in an abandoned school yard | Ever mindful of the world of Spirit, residents erected a Torri gate | Before each workshop began participants filled in a brief survey to assess their understanding of trauma | Jonah takes the group through the ten exercises we developed |
| Workshop participants stretch and tone as the process begins | Participants rushed to the other side of the circle to "mix things up" | Proper Japanese women are game to play as they stiffen their bodies and willingly follow the exercises | Jonah gets a sense what it feels like when everyone releases anger |
