Alaska

Since the Seijaku training in November my TCC practice has become deeper and more joyous . . . like a cocoon coming off, and I am emerging as something different; yet, I am the same. …

Classes are going well. I will have two classes a week at the end of January through University of Alaska Sitka; one beginning and one intermediate.

The Elderhostel people are so excited that they can do TCC they’re absolutely ecstatic! My next group will be here in March; it’s so good to have the Directory available so they can find teachers in their own locality.

The fifth Kaiser-Permanente facility in California has chosen TCC as a vehicle for its patients. I have been asked to teach two classes per week at the Antioch location beginning next fall. I will be working closely with physical therapist, Kathleen West.

I was pleased to have given a presentation on January 15th for the Ski Club of Northern New Jersey held at the Maywood Inn (Maywood, NJ). There were about 35 in attendance, with a wide variety of ages, who were extremely receptive . . . I was particularly honored to have given a demonstration to this room full of robust and active people. There reactions were feelings of relaxation, overall feeling good, and great interest in learning more about TCC.

I was able to be a part of [a] most incredible experience [Seijaku Accreditation in Albuquerque, NM in November 1997]. Spending time with 45 other TCC instructors is always a good way to recharge the vital force and make new friends. Of course, Seijaku and becoming an instructor all in one weekend was very rewarding. However, the best part about the course was spending time with Justin. Watching him teach, sitting with him at lunch, and being invited to his house for meditation made the weekend very special and something I will never forget.

The first ever Teachers Training Course in the Washington DC area is being held from October 19-24, 1998. My new TCC studio in Great Falls, VA will be used as the training facility during the entire week.
