Teacher Symposium Comments

How fortunate that I chose to attend the second annual T’ai Chi Chih teacher symposium. It offered engaged discussion, sharing of community wisdom and experience (both in teaching and personal practice), support for new teachers (of which I am one), problem solving of student issues, concrete teacher aids shared in a show-and-tell format, great food, beautiful surroundings and comfortable sleeping accommodations. What more could one dream of? And to cap all that, Sandy McAlister brought along not only her great leadership, but her impeccable style of deepening our understanding and execution of the TCC movements. Thanks to all who were present. I am a much richer individual and proponent of TCC as a result.
