Amazing, Inspiring & Invaluable

As I look back on my teacher accreditation week with Pam, I am amazed at the variety of candidates and teacher auditors who attended. We came from all over the U.S., some young, some old and many in-betweens. We came from all walks of life and beliefs. We all had our stories of how we “found” T’ai Chi Chih. It felt like particles of the universe came together to form a special world of TCC in Albuquerque that week. 

Each day we focused on different aspects of our practice and on being mindful, connecting to the earth, weight-shifting and flowing from the center. That was invaluable. Our teachers helped us to find words and descriptions so that we could pass along what we learned to our students. I treasure each moment spent learning with my fellow candidates and the superb teachers who patiently helped us to become teachers ourselves. 

The sharing of wisdom by those who knew Justin and practiced with him for many years was inspiring. Being able to see his artwork and to hear stories about him and about TCC plans for the future at our graduation dinner was awesome. I am so grateful to be part of the TCC community, and I will remember that week forever.
