Alive and Well in New Jersey

Being accredited February 2, 1991 in Bemidji, MN, I returned to the North East where I have lived since entering my Franciscan Community in 1966. My first class began in the summer of 1991 with two students…I believe in starting small!! One person told another and another, and now my calendar is full this Spring with nine Beginners Classes, four 2-hour Presentations to various groups, and two on-going monthly Practice Sessions.

Through TCC I have met many wonderful people throughout the New York, New Jersey areas who long for a more integrated, centering experience, and discover that fulfillment through TCC.

I’ve enjoyed all the students, but especially those classes made up of people from various cultures, languages and religious beliefs. It’s difficult to describe my personal joy at experiencing the unity of movement, sharing CHI that evolves in every class, but especially in those classes where most students have so little in common. Unity in diversity!

The picture above shows a class of chair-bound residents of St. Ann’s Home, Jersey City, NJ enjoying movements. The CHI is almost tangible. This is the third class for these residents. An additional class was scheduled for staff of the home.

I’m looking forward to sharing TCC during a 10 day Icon Retreat, where I will be part of the staff and take part in the incongraphy to take place September ’94 in Winona, Minnesota.

Excitement is mounting as the first east coast Teachers’ Accreditation draws closer. Remember us May 23-28 and send some energy toward New Jersey! Thanks.
