Ring of support in Ringwood for this teacher

The week began with some trepidation; I knew something of the process we would take since I was also at an intensive. My fears were slowly vanishing. Our instructor Sandy McAlister and our host Dan Pienciek began by telling us that we would be doing many corrections by quietly coming to you and showing you how to do the correction. In essence, Sandy was a steel hand in velvet gloves. I felt her support the entire week.

The teacher auditors were greatly appreciated. They give you a different perspective (a different word for a correction) so that you might understand a little better. They were another way of supporting our learning process and understanding the moves.

Sandy, Dan and all the teacher auditors were very accessible. Whenever anyone was asked for help, day or night, no one refused.

I can’t personally thank everyone involved, but I wanted to let them know that they truly are the Gems of T’ai Chi Chih.

I came away from this week feeling true love, support and a sense of wonderment at the entire experience.
