T’ai Chi Chih in the Caribbean
By: Glenda Blackburn
Last November I had an opportunity to teach T’ai Chi Chih to a group of 20 nurses for continuing education units during a seven day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean. The cruise was arranged by Journeys of Wisdom, a holistic coaching institute in Columbus, OH that focuses on self-empowerment programs.
The ship, Carnival’s “Paradise”, was at sea four days and in port three days. T’ai Chi Chih was taught each morning during the days at sea, with an hour presentation during the first day of the seminars. The seminars, based on the concepts of intrinsic body energy and the power of the mind to affect the body, provided powerful personal and professional growth opportunities. T’ai Chi Chih was the perfect discipline to be experienced in combination with Journeys of Wisdom’s “Inner Achievement Methods.”
Each participant was given material that included TCC’s web site for referral to accredited teachers. . . .
