San Diego Training Comments

My mentor suggested not doing “connected form” until I’d been doing TCC for two or three years. However, my “fast” ended at the San Diego teacher training. There we all connected: moving, balancing and affirming with laughter, tears, and joy. Many thanks to Steve, Susan, Vi, Leslie, Kathy and all who made this week a unique and memorable experience of Chi.

To Justin Stone, Steve Ridley, Susan Patterson, my fellow instructors-in-training (exceptional, each and every one), and all teachers in attendance at the Teachers Training Course in Kearny Mesa, CA, October 23-28, 1995: A profound and extraordinary experience–thank you one and all. All the best. Cheers,

With love and thanks to Steve Ridley, Susan Patterson and all my fellow TCC trainees at San Diego:

T’ai Chi Chih brings me stillness,
So I can hear YOU whisper
T’ai Chi Chih brings me restfulness,
So YOU can work
T’ai Chi Chih brings me openness,
So YOU can touch others…

I think I will be riding a “wave of energy” from the training. What a great week–Steve, Susan, all the participants and other teachers–so many things to ponder for a long time. A truly unique experience in my life. Liz and Lois, thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness in welcoming us into the T’ai Chi Chih family. I am just beginning to understand how truly ‘vibrant’ the group is. May you know joy and peace.

To the Accreditation Class: Thank you for sharing so much, in either your words or just in your energy.

To Justin: Thank you for giving us this most wondrous art. One of the other students said it best, I think “T’ai Chi Chih is a bridge from the outside to the inside.” And, thank you for giving us Steve.

To Steve: How does one say Thank you for who you are and thank you for what you give to this world! You are greatly loved.

With a heart filled—
