Matsu is excited to bring back one of its most popular sake brewers, Heiwa Shuzo for another 6-course Sake Pairing Dinner. Located near Kainan City in Wakayama, Heiwa Shuzo has been a beloved choice among Matsu’s team and guests for its balanced, elegant sakes—from their “Aka” KID Junmai to their Umeshu “Tsuru-Ume Suppai.” Sourced from Koyasan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, their unique Koyasan soft spring water lends a soft, luscious quality to every bottle.

Chef William Eick will be crafting a one-night-only special menu to perfectly complement this exceptional sake lineup. Reservations can be made on OpenTable.

Experience a Divine Light healing, performed in a supportive group setting, as you are guided through a highly effective technique to receive spiritual energy to heal and transform your life. Whether you are seeking physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. The aura is key to healing, because it is the place where you generate the spiritual energy to manifest health. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition, these techniques were developed by Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara over five decades. They are taught in their award-winning book "The Healing Power of Your Aura" which has been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. Each month, we will offer insights into the spiritual healing principles with the aura and Divine Light. Participants will be organized into small groups and receive a direct Divine Light healing from our trained spiritual healers. Plus there is a special healing offered on the nervous system to release stresses and tensions. THE SAI FACULTY come from diverse backgrounds, yet have a common goal to share with others the metaphysical wisdom offered at the Institute. Teaching certification requires a minimum of seven years or more of practice and study. They have been trained by the Institute’s founders and are continuing their advanced studies at SAI to further their spiritual growth and service. Spiritual Arts Institute on Facebook / Instagram
