We listened, watched, considered, then got up and tried out new insights. We agreed there is no right or wrong in how the movements are presented by experienced teachers, but there are perhaps different ways to express instruction. Hearing new phrases or seeing new demonstrations sometimes led us to make changes, and sometimes it led us to keep what we were already doing.

Each of us had arrived as practitioners and as teachers. As practitioners we asked ourselves if we could feel the Chi more by making certain adjustments. As teachers, we asked, “Would I say it like that with my own students?” Everyone had a satisfying afternoon. There was no doubt: we are growing as a community and each is deepening their own practice.
