TCC in Colorado

The regular monthly meeting of the T’ai Chi Chih Colorado Teachers group took place on 10-18-92. Since there was a Teacher Training in Denver at the time, we took advantage of this opportunity to support the new teachers and also have our monthly meeting. We made plans for our November and December meetings. We also discussed a possible spring outing to include teachers throughout Colorado. I know we all look forward to our monthly get-togethers for support and group energy.

Group Provides Open Membership & Supportive Fellowship

A little history about the group in Colorado. Until June of this year there were 5 certified instructors in Colorado. After the teachers’ training in June and October, we now have 21 TCC teachers.

After the June training we decided to stay in touch with each other. We meet once a month to practice and then have a short meeting to decide where to practice the following month. We have elected to keep things simple with little effort to being organized as a group. We have a newsletter only because Marge Manzanares and I chose to be of service to TCC in Colorado.

The fellowship of like-minded individuals inspired most of us to continue with what we are doing and even expand our horizons (Chi) to express ourselves even more than we do currently.

After the practice we usually brown-bag lunch and share what is going on with our teachings and practice. We, in Denver, are fortunate enough to have Steve Ridley available to us and we are constantly focused on refining the subtleties of the TCC movements.

The group started out limiting the practice to just instructors and teacher candidates, but now we have expanded it to include students at any level of experience. Who knows who the next teacher will be!

While the group does not have major goals and accomplishments as part of their structure, we are interested in sponsoring the 1995 TCC Conference in the Rocky Mountains. We’ll have details and questions to the TCC membership-at-large later.
