Comments on Alameda, CA’s Teacher Training

June 1993

I’m really glad that I decided to be part of the Teachers’ Training in Alameda last June. I never before felt the ‘chi’ circulating so strongly through my body.

It was insightful to meet all the different students coming to T’ai Chi Chih from very different backgrounds and points of view.

I felt really touched with one of the presentations when the student explained how T’ai Chi Chih helped her to put order in her life and to stop addictions. But, also, the very next day there was another student who felt how the ‘chi’ was helping her to loosen up her structure to life. So I thought it’s true that we are dealing with a very smart energy, that knows what is convenient for us at every moment.

Thank you to all who were there to help us to become part of the T’ai Chi Chih family! And of course, thank you to Justin Stone for T’ai Chi Chih!

We have always enjoyed the people we have met through T’ai Chi – it either attracts nice people or its practice makes them that way – and you all in Alameda are true T’ai Chi people. Until we see you again, keep the faith.

The week of Teachers’ Training in Alameda was greater than any of us imagined.

It was a very moving and growing experience. Everyone there helped us all to open up more and to feel T’ai Chi Chih and life more deeply. We all arrived separately from different directions but as the week went on we grew closer together.

I want to thank Steve and all the other teachers who came to share, and who gave us so much of their time, support and help.

It was a great week. I wish everyone the very best.

What a wonderful experience Teacher Training was for us. The week was so amazing and one of the most meaningful! The time together was an incredible experience and I feel honored to have shared it with everyone. Each of you gave me something of yourselves that is very special to me.

Thank you for your presence in my life. I wish you all the best as we each continue in the evolution of ourselves through T’ai Chi Chih. We’re on our Way!
