Taking Action to Grow the T’ai Chi Chih Community
“Do Something!”
As Michelle Obama said in a different context in August, when confronted with change you want to see, ‘Do something.’ As the former Speaker of the House says, “Don’t agonize, organize.” What am I referring to? As T’ai Chi Chih teachers grow older and retire, many think that the Chi will step up and all will be well with the community and the number of classes offered around the country and world. Maybe. I certainly know from experience that the Chi is all-powerful. But I also believe in doing the active work to grow the community. If you agree, how can you help? What can you do?
New Column
Please see the Editor’s Note on page 3 about this new column. I hope readers will respond in the next Vital Force to the three issues posed (i.e., the letters to Justin).
The Generosity Continues
Thanks to three anonymous donors, The Vital Force has raised enough funds to digitize and get Justin’s archival videos online. As one donor said, “Glad to help in some way in having those precious materials digitized.”
Special Projects: Please Inquire
- Justin’s Zen Meditation has been out-of-print for more than a decade, and it will come back into print as soon as the funds are raised. Cost: $1000. Perhaps Zen is your jam?
- Digitize all audio tapes of Justin over the years: $450
- Edit, parse, and upload the audio tapes for all to experience: $500
