What a blessing it is to live near to so many T’ai Chi Chih teachers! I can’t imagine how I would have made it through my first year and a half of teaching without the support of this wonderful community. Teaching provides many challenges and many opportunities for growth. I realize just how valuable it has been for me to be able to draw upon the experience of those wise teachers around me who have seen so much of it before.
A nice way to “share the wealth” is to invite another teacher to your class, or go visit! The rewards can be amazing.
Not all of us are so fortunate to live in such a “teacher-rich” community. In that case, communications such as The Vital Force can be an asset. Be sure to send your stories, you may be providing “just the thing” for someone who needs it.
