Creating A Community Page

Even if you are uncomfortable creating a community page, that part is easy – model yours after another community page or ask Lisa Otero or someone savvy at the TCC conference.

Making the page similar to others is important. Start with its name, taichichihcitystate as one word, because this will keep whole community coherent. (Do not use the apostrophe in Tai.) As for content, you do not have to reinvent the wheel. Simply copy and paste the description from another local community page.

Then post when and where your next classes are; post about events that you are attending and photos of people practicing together or alone. Share any TCC information from Facebook.com/taichichih, especially those beautiful cards with quotations from Justin Stone that The Vital Force created. It keeps your page alive.

I’m still working on letting go of my resistance to writing and using technology, to changing my mindset to allow technology to bring TCC to a larger world – so more people can hear about the benefits and discover them themselves, either with a teacher (you and I), a DVD from Good Karma Publishing or through the Internet on YouTube.

It is all there. We just need to share it. I realize that we need to connect and share what we know about the Chi. We need to start where we are one step at the time.
