Teacher Training: Berkeley, CA

Host: Sandy McAlister, Hayward, CA

Blessings of love, laughter, joy, friendship, work, cooperation, and appreciation abounded during the teacher training week in March in Berkeley, CA. I am grateful for the opportunity to host a training for it ensures that I will be there every session, enriching my experience as a student and a teacher of T’ai Chi Chih.

This was Ed Altman’s first time as instructor of a Teacher Training, and it was fun to watch his “effort of no effort”. He did a fine job! As with all TCC trainings I’ve attended, every session was rich with expressed knowledge, shared experiences, and AH-haaa’s! A thank you to all who enriched my life that week.

Comments From Auditing TCC Teachers

“… Ed did a superb job of conveying the ideals and principles of T’ai Chi Chih by his presence and through words. He was calm, focused, and well-organized. He spoke from a wise place of centeredness – and everyone noticed that. Noel was a great help and added a lot to the flow of things. Sandy [McAlister: host teacher], of course, made it all seem effortless.”

“Congratulations to Ed and Noel Altman for a very good teacher training recently in Berkeley, CA. I found Ed to be well focused, on purpose, relaxed and friendly. The students enjoyed the training and well organized information. The T’ai Chi Chih teachers also enjoyed the students and Ed’s training procedures. Ed and Noel make a good solid teaching team – so to both – well done!”
