Early in 2020, Sandy Roerig moved to St. George, Utah, after visiting me – even though I’d only moved there a few months earlier from Fort Collins, Colorado. With both of us in St. George, I invited all of the ladies on my block to learn T’ai Chi Chih. But it turned out that proximity was not a good method of finding people who would truly love TCC.

Then Sandy and I joined the 55+ community’s meditation group, and we slowly started to share that we were TCC teachers, wondering aloud if anyone would be interested in learning TCC. Of the 30 we taught from the meditation group, a dozen were really drawn to TCC. This all transpired just as COVID-19 restrictions were starting. This group was so dedicated that they wanted to continue by meeting outside. It wasn’t long before we were practicing four times a week and discussing Justin’s books. Our time together was a big blessing. We found our tribe and we needed a name: the Woo Woo Warriors. While it has been less than a year, we Woo Woos call each other “family.” With other activities on hold, our group getting together safely has been a gift!
