In today’s fast paced and, at times, convoluted environment, I need a sanctuary where my surroundings are conducive to my journey.   I value my spiritual as well as my physical well-being.    As such, Tai Chi offers me an opportunity to pursue my quest under the guidance of masters and students alike.

When I enter the form there is a suspension of time that allows me to touch the form that was, the form that is and a bit of the form that will become; both for me individually and in a collective sense. How cool is that!

This winter, after practicing Tai Chi for 8 months, I discovered a new, more poised way of navigating icy ground. Instead of taking tiny, tense, scared steps, my head is up, and I have a calm, measured pace. I feel balanced and confident and aware of each step and the ground beneath me.
