Spending a Day With Ed

Course Host

First of all I would like to say a special thank you to all the teachers and students who supported the one day TCC workshop here in Cincinnati. Sixty-three people from seven different states represented Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and Louisiana. We thank them all for attending, and a special thanks goes to the 12 people from the St. Louis area who made a concerted effort to support this event.

The weather cooperated beautifully, and the grounds of the tree-covered former monestery were rich and beautiful, as we were so very fortunate to have Ed here again to share his ever-growing knowledge about T’ai Chi Chih with us. It never ceases to amaze me how much I still can learn after all these years. He took time to answer all our questions and teach us how to move effortlessly, no tension anyplace. What a big difference that makes in the quality of all our TCC movements.

Everyone was flowing and moving as Ed shared new insights for every move. What a way to do TCC. Wow!

Several people had told me at the beginning that they had to leave early, but as 5 o’ clock came around they were still there enjoying every minute of it. We had one lady doing all the moves sitting in a chair, she shared how much she enjoyed doing the movements along with us. I’m glad she was not discouraged from coming. Two of my students, who normally have to sit down after a while, came up to me at the end all excited, and said, “Look, we stood up the whole time, and we’re not even tired.” Their faces were beaming with excitement. Ed really has a gift of sharing and making things seem so much easier and keeping everyone’s interest the whole time.

I would like to encourage everyone to think about participating in the next upcoming workshop if you weren’t able make this one. All of you will have another chance to share this wonderful experience in October, with Anne Perkins [who is hosting a TCC Workshop] in St. Louis. She can be reached. Give her a call and she will be happy to hear from you.

Thanks once again to all those who helped out, to Ed for coming and making this a very special day, and most of all; the students and teachers. Without you I would not have been able to offer this special experience.
