Oriental Philosophy Course
February 19th – March 1st, Justin Stone offered an Oriental Philosophy course in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Somehow, Justin managed to condense such a broad and fascinating topic into just four evening classes, which were enjoyed by over 30 people. He regaled us with comparisons of religious systems and philosophy of India, China, and Japan – filled with wonderful anecdotes based on his extensive travels and studies.
The NM T’ai Chi Chih Teacher’s Association sponsored the course. Thanks to Justin’s marvelous program, extensive marketing support from Carmen Brocklehurst, and technical support from Virginia and Doug Shilson, Donna Bundock, Pat Jensen, and Guy Kent, the project was a great success. Not only did all who participated learn much of great spiritual value and interest, the Association covered all expenses and raised some funds for operating expenses and future programs.
Thanks again to all who contributed to the program – the participants, the project volunteers, and especially Justin.
Chi!

P.S. from Carmen Brocklehurst: Therese left out only one thing–the tremendous amount of work she personally contributed to hosting the Oriental Philosophy course, without which it wouldn’t have been possible. Many thanks to her.
