Oregon Teachers Meet

Joan Torrence, Beaverton, OR shares: We had our first Oregon Teachers Meeting last month at Elizabeth Tyler’s–a potluck lunch, chi and business exchange. Fabulous! We’ll meet quarterly or more often and we touch base by phone to share news and support each other–perfect!

TCC Helps Karate Students

Earlier this month I taught the first five movements of TCC to a Karate class and my life has leaped to a new place. It’s a typical Chi story…magical and efficient. I taught on Orcas Island where I’ve spent summers as a child and where my parents now live. Chuck, a Karate master, is a good family friend. We talked about martial arts and teaching and balancing life, practicing, etc. He was curious about TCC and asked me to share with him and his class. What a fabulous opportunity–he welcomed me with open arms–even video-taped us. My Chi is much fuller and richer as a result of that evening. For the first real time I was truly humbled and knew I was the vehicle and had TCC knowledge that could alter the participants lives–and they were fully open, receptive. My thought was that perhaps TCC could give them an edge in their competition and add a gentle soft focus to help harmonize their yang style work. One student had a real break thru with a very challenging segment in a routine and excitedly exclaimed that the chi was working and helping him relax enough to let the movements come thru from deep inside.. Awesome! I am honored, touched and moved–they gave me so much and they’ve asked me back. Since Dyanna Chowka, (of Orcas Island), and I are pen pals and plan to meet in person, I’ve asked her to share with Chuck and his students.
