Desert Oasis for T’ai Chi Chih Retreat

By: Dan Fiore

Phoenix, AZ

During the first weekend of April, the Arizona desert bloomed with regal splendor and provided a meditative setting for instructor Don Fiore’s third T’ai Chi Chih Retreat. Twenty-five people gathered in the high desert overlooking Tucson, to rest and rejuvenate with T’ai Chi Chih and meditation.

Since that weekend was Don and Tori’s wedding anniversary, some discussion sessions included topics on “Lasting Relationships” and “The Celestine Prophecy.” Those attending developed the essence of the T’ai Chi Chih way of life, while bonding and deepening their sense of spirituality.

A hike to ancient Indian petroglyphs and an evening of poetry and Tibetan bells highlighted the weekend experience. Over thirty Tibetan bells and bowls were played in the Chapel on Saturday night and became an enlightening experience for many.

Another Retreat is planned for October.
