New workshop evolves from conference to address teacher request

By: Sandy McAlister

One of the great joys of my T’ai Chi Chih practice is the continuous discoveries. Those “ah ha” moments keep coming if I stay present. Well, following some of the comments made during the discussion period at the conference, Sr. Meg Costello had an “ah ha” moment, too. She came up with the idea of a “Teachers Learning to Teach T’ai Chi Chih! Joy Thru Movement” Retreat.

This will be the first time a retreat format has been put together with the intent of teachers coming together to share and learn teaching techniques. (See “Calendar of Events” for details).

By examining our own movements, working with each other, and sharing our teaching experiences, we will be better able to discern our students’ needs and how to help them grasp a concept or feel a movement. I eagerly look forward to participating in, what I have no doubt will be, this enriching experience.
