TCC Studio Opens in Southern California

On July 5, 1995, I, Susan Patterson (Webster) opened a T’ai Chi Chih studio (center) in San Diego. It was a most frightening experience until I relaxed and started breathing and realized that TCC will bring all the energy we need to keep the center moving in an upward swing. Thanks to Timothy Stuetz, who put together the program for nurses in California, TCC is in great demand. Nurses wanted classes and I could not get the space at any of the local hospitals, so I decided to ‘bite the bullet’ and get into some of this expensive California lease space and GO FOR IT!!! I am glad that I did, because with the support of the local teachers, we are building quite a wonderful program of TCC here in San Diego.

We had our first teachers’ gathering at the studio on July 8 and had more teachers there than we have ever had at any of our gatherings. We found that the energy was so high that no one wanted to leave. Ideas, thoughts, sharing, and stories went on for hours. We used to gather at someone’s house every 2-3 months, but now we have decided that we need to get together at least once a month. We will meet on the first Saturday of each month at 4 pm for movements followed by a pot luck/networking session. I openly invite any teachers who may be in the San Diego area to come and join us on those Saturdays. I also extend an open invitation to anyone who is visiting the area to come and visit. We just installed a dolphin water fountain today and it certainly creates the sound of a lovely bubbling spring.

I know that it is the energy of all of the TCC teachers in the world that is making this new space a great success and for that I thank you.

I have spent many hours putting programs together for nurses in California. If you have any questions I would love to help others do the same. After being in the medical field for almost 20 years, it brings me great joy to share the peace and serenity of TCC with my fellow professionals who need it more than anyone I know.

The address of the new studio is 8250 Vickers Suite G, San Diego, CA. The phone number is.
