Taoist Tai Chi™ March 2010
I had a wonderful experience at the 5 day workshop in Tallahassee. It was lead by Sean Denison, Karen Laughlin and Andrew Hung with a lot of help from other international instructors. We started out with a lot of donyus and toryus. But spent most of the week working on better balance in our set. We had the most amazing 10 course Chinese New Years Banquet complete with wine. As one of the first shift serving/dishwashing crew, I didn't get to eat until most of the tables were done. The bonus was that we got more than our share of the wine from the left over bottles. My balance must have improved some during the week because I felt balanced in the after dinner set even with a slight buzz.
We are constantly looking forward to the next workshop or intensive. Great to reconnect with people we know from previous events. Doing Tai Chi with more than 100 other students is an experience you have to have to appreciate.
You may not know that the society is a non-profit. We volunteer to teach and there are only a handful of paid employees in the world that help to support the 40,000 or so members. These workshops help to support buying permanent locations for some of our more active branches.
The testimonials of all the good Tai Chi has done for attendees at large workshops are a strong incentive and feedback for me to keep teaching and practicing Taoist Tai Chi™.
