It’s The People

I was not in a good place before the conference and almost didn’t go, but that little voice I love to listen to said, “Just go.” So I did. Everyone let me be and didn’t ask too many questions, and I am grateful for that.

This was my first conference, and I really didn’t know what to expect. I knew the local community was working extremely hard to make this conference the best ever. One thing I knew for sure: I would be surrounded by great people. Sure enough, each and every person I encountered was a blessing.

There were so many spectacular breakout sessions, with great people sharing their passions. The highlight for me was a complete turnaround towards Seijaku. Past experiences left me feeling crazed and not good in my body. Seijaku had been doing the opposite of what attracted me to practicing T’ai Chi Chih and becoming a teacher: I needed a place to feel re-centered, to access calm energy. With Bill’s help I completely turned that around in a few moments. How did it feel? Like my feet were 20 feet deep into this beautiful earth and that I was 20 feet taller. Magnificent. The grounding aspect awakened me to additional senses; calming went to a deeper level. Since I can’t get enough, I’m going to Tupelo for an upcoming workshop. This sharing of a new way of thinking about Seijaku was a gift because of the great people involved.

It was incredible to meet the larger TCC community. TCC is truly gift to humankind.
