T’ai Chi Chih Meditation Intensive
By: Renee J. Wilson
At a lovely serene spot, 28 of us enjoyed a special workshop with Steve Ridley the weekend prior to the accreditation course. He gave us much more than expected. There was something for everyone. The program was well balanced with traditional Oriental warm ups and cool down, controlled breathing, yoga and Tibetan exercises, various types of meditation and of course lots of T’ai Chi Chih.
Steve really puts himself all out for his workshops and you can tell that he enjoys his work or perhaps more accurately his “Play”. The handouts he provided are excellent for future use and I know that many of us will utilize them.
The weather was beautiful so for some of the T’ai Chi Chih practices, we went outside where we were surrounded by nature and serenaded by the birds and the whisper of the wind.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the program and hopefully we’ll repeat it sometime next year.
