The group of Thebes was a group that codified a serie of exercises very useful for the inner chivalric practice.

These exercises will progressively increase the vibration of the student.

A proper ambiance is recommended.

This practice will progressively bring us to actualize our true self

The Manor of Ivanhoe want to be a center for the developing of such exercises 

Some chivalric exercises linked to the path of presence

The concept of warrior is in different traditions - Castaneda speaks to be a warrior, the japanese way of the Samurai goes on the same wavelenght 

• Open gaze - a warrior must have the gaze always wide open

• Alert - this is a YANG way to the presence

• Feeling the ground and the contact with the earth

• You can have the yourself behind yourself

• You can practice the sacred sounds I-A-O and develop the spine

These exercises will develop the fundamental points of the psychophysical unity of the human being.
