Continuing TCC Group Practice

A valuable activity that you can provide for your students is an ongoing TCC practice class. Those who have finished the beginning TCC course often inquire about following through by attending a continuing class, where they can obtain support and guidance while enjoying fellowship with other TCC practitioners.

In the continuing TCC practice class that I conduct, the majority of our time is devoted to performing the movements, either in silence or accompanied by music. We also spend time going over the finer points of certain movements, learn to use connecting techniques, explore philosophical issues when they arise, and often conclude a session by practicing the “Great Circle Meditation.”

Our continuing practice group meets once each week for an hour, for six consecutive weeks, with two open weeks between classes. I require a tuition of $25, and allow students the option of attending single classes on a drop-in basis, for $5 per session. Many students request private instruction in conjunction with the continuing class from time to time, to receive helpful recommendations for refining and polishing their movements. Be sure to let your students know that you are available for one-on-one guidance.

All students will benefit by sharing in the collective generation of Chi. I hope that you will consider offering a continuing TCC practice session to help facilitate others’ progress. Justin advises that: “Good teachers repeat, repeat, and repeat!”
