MEMBERSHIP
SoA is an organization supported by volunteers and run primarily on membership dues. General membership is open to anyone, and is a way to financially support the goals and objectives of SoA. For $60 a year, members receive electronic mailings twice a month of the Shintaido magazine Body Dialogue, membership registration rate at all gasshukus, and electronic emails about Shintaido-related events.
For a detailed fee schedule, see Appendix II: Financial Structure .
