Teacher Training Prep Course

Jean Katus, Jeanne Carlson-Linscott, and Chris Curran jointly conducted a Teacher Training Preparation Course in Fargo, ND the 4 and 5 of November. There were nine students attending and the consensus was to repeat this experience. The benefit of getting input and ideas from an instructor other than the one who originally taught the student T’ai Chi Chih was insightful and helpful. The experience of working together (we three instructors!) as guides for easing anxiety with upcoming Teachers’ Training was enriching. Rehearsal, review, practice practice practice…and gee how powerful was the flow of the chi! It was a receiving and welcoming. We support conducting preparatory classes for those considering this commitment of self with sharing of this powerful movement. The sense of community, the spirit of receptivity and mutual sharing, the opportunity to share leadership with the group all portrays the spirit of T’ai Chi Chih. Integrity, openness, directness, purity of form, respect of oneself and others. We three are planning to repeat Teacher Preparation Courses twice yearly as more of the students in the Midwest make the commitment to continue the spirit of T’ai Chi Chih as Justin has shared with us.

Whee! Sharing Chi!
