Chicago Conference

Connie Hyde, Cedar Crest, NM

Having attended the last two Teachers Conferences and having the joys of teaching for a couple of years, several views about the upcoming Conference have taken root. In sharing them with Vital Force readers as well as Conference Coordinators, perhaps others will consider giving feedback to Hannah and Barbara to make it OUR conference. (See Calendar Notes p.20 for Conference Update from our Chicago Hosts.)

Foremost to me, the Teachers Conference is a space to share Justin’s and Steve’s knowledge. Their presence is pivotal to every aspect of our two days together. Since a Teachers’ Renewal course has not been geographically accessible to me, and since correctly passing on T’ai Chi Chih to students is important, I feel it is vital to review and refine all the movements under Justin’s and Steve’s guidance.

The manifestations of the various teachers are enriching; as spokes of the wheel, they add balance. Exchanging T’ai Chi Chih teaching opportunities/methods/situations from across the country adds greatly to the experience. Add to this the hub, the presence of Justin and Steve, and our opportunities for growth abound.

See you at the Conference!
