Reflections From A First-Timer

T’ai Chi Chih practices started with Antonia Cooper, our Guide, and ended with our Guide and the teacher trainers, Sandy McAlister and Pam Towne; there were various leaders in between. They were truly Joy Thru Movement. Our speakers enlightened us with topics such as “Joy Through Movement and Beyond” (Alice Holden), “Embracing Seijaku” (Ann Rutherford and Pam Towne), and “Teaching TCC to Children” (Judy Hendricks). Three breakout sessions included movements that highlighted new ideas and reinforced that which needed further exploration. Organization and schedule were well paced and planned with thought to roommate matches and allowing time for reflection. The raffle was filled with generosity for future conference scholarships.

One cannot imagine what it’s like to practice TCC and Seijaku with about 80 teachers – you have to be there for the experience. It’s truly a joy to be part of the generous spirit of the TCC community. With gratitude to those who made this event a reality.
