Can you afford NOT to go? By the way, this year Hannah Hedrick will be teaching T’ai Chi Chih at Rancho Rio Caliente during November.

She reports feeling well and energetic!

Joseph Pagano’s Active on Monterey Peninsula

Joseph Pagano, accredited in April, offers T’ai Chi Chih through the Monterey Peninsula Friends of C.G. Jung. He recently gave a demonstration in the atrium of a Carmel restaurant, as documented in the following newspaper announcement.

Demonstration offered of ‘moving meditation’

A FREE demonstration of the “moving meditation” known as T’ai Chi Chih will be offered in the atrium of Peyton’s Place Restaurant, No. at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 18.

The 19 gentle, flowing movements of this form was developed by Pacific Grove resident Justin Stone, the American Orientalist and former Master of T’ai Chi Chuan, the historic Chinese martial art form. He recently trained and accredited Joseph Pagano of Monterey as a teacher of the T’ai Chi Chih form. Pagano will provide the demonstration, which is sponsored by the Monterey Peninsula Friends of C.G. Jung.

In the memorandum announcing a series of meetings for small groups to learn T’ai Chi Chih, Pagano said, “My enthusiasm for Jung’s ideas is finding exciting new affirmations in doing my daily ‘moving meditation’ of T’ai Chi Chih.” The public is invited to both the demonstration and the learning session.
