T’ai Chi Chih in Hawaiian Paradise

Nineteen of us spent five magical days practicing T’ai Chi Chih and opening our hearts to the healing of mind/body/spirit on the big island of Hawaii, Feb. 2-7, 1997. Our group bonded quickly as we listened and shared from our hearts and joined our spirits in our T’ai Chi dance of life. I came away from this retreat feeling a renewed appreciation and profound respect for our T’ai Chi Chih practice. My work as a therapist has been deepened in the most beautiful way as I allow the magic of T’ai Chi Chih to lead and transform our healing processes in ways the mind cannot begin to touch.

I will be forever grateful to Justin, Steve, and to all of our wonderful T’ai Chi Chih teachers for sharing this most profound and precious gift. I think it’s especially important during these times of transition that we all join together in the life-giving, forgiving spirit of T’ai Chi Chih to maintain a solid foundation on which to keep these teachings flowing and reaching out into the world in greater and greater numbers. I honor the unique gifts everyone has to share and I consider everyone my teacher.

My T’ai Chi Chih practice itself in one of my greatest teachers and in that spirit I unite with all other teachers and will continue to teach, and then teach some more! Each of us has much to share. I will not be able to attend the conference this year because of a memorial service for my mother, but I will be with you in spirit.

Love and light to you all!
