The Joyous Gift Of Conference
By: Sky Young-Wick & the 2010 Conference Team
Our theme for this year’s conference is gratitude. Your presence at conference allows us to grow and deepen our practice together. So it is in the spirit of gratitude that we invite all T’ai Chi Chih teachers who have not registered already to join us at our annual teacher conference on August 12-15, 2010, at the Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City, Nebraska. The time is drawing near, and we do hope you can attend. We request your deposit and registration as soon as possible and no later than July 12, 2010. (After that date we are not guaranteed rooms at the hotel.)
Have you enjoyed the special experience of our annual conference? The gathering is a wonderful gift of learning and fun, as well as an opportunity to be surrounded and nurtured by so many other teachers. Imagine practicing and feeling the chi flowing from 100-plus teachers. Now that’s Joy thru Movement.
The eco-friendly conference is located in a beautiful natural setting with an abundance of trees (as you may have guessed). The food is spectacular; many of the fruits and vegetables they serve are grown on the farm. We were so impressed last year that we decided to return to this special place in the heartland for this year’s conference.
Registration information and other particulars about vendors, roommates, and more can be found on taichichih.org/conference.php. (If you have already registered but did not receive a confirmation letter from Jean Katus, please contact her immediately at jean44ka@gmail.com.) Those needing and receiving a scholarship will see their registration fee reduced greatly. The sooner you request a scholarship, the greater likelihood that funds will be available. Jean Katus is also the contact point for scholarships.
Lastly, please consider donating something that another TCC teacher would enjoy to our raffle. It’s been a big hit for the last few years, and we’ll continue it this year. Funds raised during the raffle are used for future conference scholarships.
