Establishing TCC Connections Around The World

In her 2010 “Conference Reflections” (The Vital Force, November 2010, page 6), Antonia reported on dreams presented by conference attendees responding to her Sunday discussion about the future of T’ai Chi Chih. The first in the list of nine was “To establish T’ai Chi Chih centers in various parts of the country.”

Three years later, moved by similar comments during the discussion session hosted by Antonia, Sandy, Pam and Dan, I have taken the first steps in organizing “T’ai Chi Chih Connections” in locations where I teach taught classes or workshops.

During the next three months, I will be offering organizational workshops or coordinating communications with potential “T’ai Chi Chi Connection” members in the Chicago area, Vigo County (Indiana), Matsu Valley (Alaska) and Big Island/Upper Puna (Hawaii). I am asking teachers and students in those areas to identify a contact person and a “center,” even if it is just in someone’s home homes.

If you live in any of these areas and are interested in building community as part of the future of TCC, please contact me through .
