Justin Stone, Gardener Extraordinaire

We often hear Justin Stone introduced as an author, a painter, a lecturer, a pianist. True, he is accomplished in all these fields but, if you were to ask my opinion, I would say Justin Stone is a gardener.

Yes, Justin travels around the United States and Canada planting seeds. In well-prepared soil he plants seeds of T’ai Chi Chih. The soil is prepared with thorough Teacher Training Courses and nourished with equal amounts of integrity, compassion and wisdom.

The gardener, however, cannot attend all his plants all the time, so he entrusts their cultivation and “nurturance” to you and to me. As teachers of T’ai Chi Chih it is our responsibility to see that the seedlings Justin so carefully and thoughtfully produced continue to grow, to blossom and to multiply. T’ai Chi Chih gardens are created to bring beauty and happiness to everyone the world over.
