Wholeness Requires Community
By: Lynn Porzig

Practicing T’ai Chi Chih with others, whether through classes, intensives, retreats, trainings and/or conference brings us back to why we continue to practice TCC. Why? Because being part of a group supports our growth as individuals and enriches our practice. Our life with TCC is richer than our life without it.
We know that practicing TCC helps us grow in wholeness. To me, that means recognizing God’s loving presence in each and every person. Practicing with others helps us do this by giving us the opportunity to share our joys and struggles, to receive support and to grow in our practice. This growth in wholeness leads to a life-giving love.
Practicing with a group and as a community deepens our wholeness. We join others around the world while practicing TCC each day. Our TCC community keeps us focused as we seek to live centered lives. When we live in community, we learn to love by sharing our time, talents, energy and money with others. Thus, our growth in wholeness results from being part of community, practicing TCC in groups near and far, small and large.
