Nothing gives me greater joy than supporting others in flowing through life from their true center.

Our true center is a Stillness that is always guiding us to greater health, well-being, and joy.  I do not know anything more powerful than T’ai Chi Chih and its principles of movement in helping one connect to and flow from their true center. It is my passion to  share T’ai Chi Chih and its  healing and centering gifts with you!

About Marie Dotts

From the moment I stepped into my first T’ai Chi Chih class, I knew I was HOME. The soft, graceful but powerful movements spoke deeply to my soul. They spoke of the possibility of moving and flowing through life from a center of stillness, strength, love and joy. The calling to the contemplative journey, a journey of awakening to a true center within and flowing through life from that center has been a passion throughout my whole life. It has been a passion even as I have journeyed as a Licensed Practical Nurse, a Software Engineer for Hewlett Packard, a mother of three boys, and a CNA for Pathways Hospice.

I have been an accredited T’ai Chi Chih teacher since 1998. I spent my first years teaching in the wonderful T’ai Chi Chih community in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.  Our family relocated to Northern Colorado in 2007.  At that time there were no other T’ai Chi Chih teachers in the area. Knowing how important community is especially with T’ai Chi Chih I felt deeply called to not just teach T’ai Chi Chih but to help create a growing community of teachers and students.  Northern Colorado now has a thriving T’ai Chi Chih community.  I continue to teach here and mentor teacher candidates.  I am also very much looking forward to supporting the larger community of T’ai Chi Chih as Guide in its mission of spreading this powerfully healing and loving practice with the world.

I have also been a student of the Diamond Approach since 2009. The Diamond Approach  is a spiritual and psychological path that uses self-inquiry to help individuals uncover their  true nature, integrating their spiritual and psychological experience into daily life.
