More News from Teachers (Spring 1989)

Beverley Bach is teaching T’ai Chi Chih at California State University at Humboldt, near Eureka, California.

Christine Sproehnle reports that enrollments are high for her “T’ai Chi Telemarking” and “T’ai Chi Rock Climbing” intensive courses offered through the University of Colorado at Boulder. She will also be co-leading a 10-day T’ai Chi Chih/Backpacking/Native American Rituals trip to Grand Gulch, near Four Corners in late March, offered through the University extension.

Jeanne Carlson-Linscott is travelling to Hawaii in March to lead three T’ai Chi Chih intensives, one through the Unity Church, one through a School of Chinese Medicine, and one through the Hawaii School of Massage.

Corinn Codye joined a distinguished faculty in a 3-day University of California conference held in Santa Barbara entitled Inventing the Future: Perception, Creativity, and Performance, to lead 80-plus participants in T’ai Chi Chih movements. The conference was led by Marilee Zdenek (The Right Brain Experience, Inventing the Future) and included workshops by Gabriele Rico, Ph.D. (Writing the Natural Way), Robert McKim, Ph.D., Professor of Engineering and founder of the Stanford University Product Design Program (He and his wife Ginny studied T’ai Chi Chih with D. J. Jacobs.), and Michael Mahoney, Ph.D., pioneer counseling psychologist and sports psychologist to Olympic athletes. The T’ai Chi Chih reinforced every aspect of the various presentations, and the conference organizers were so delighted with the enthusiastic response to T’ai Chi Chih that they are planning a more integral role for it in future conferences.
