One of the things I am most proud about our Tai Chi group, I feel I can take very little credit for. Over the years, our group has grown into a real community. I notice friendships have formed, the sharing of trials and tribulations, supporting each other through births and transitions and bereavements.. and, not least, sharing Tai Chi practice. Our obsession and curiosity of this amazing art form brings us together, and is the catalyst for all the other wonderful things that happen when human beings connect.
Practising in a group is still one of the greatest joys of our community.
We held our first retreat in Spring this year, in a lovely outdoor centre in wild North Wales. It was an idea I had been harbouring for a while. It seemed like the right time to see if there was enough interest to make it viable. I was so impressed with the commitment and enthusiasm of all who spent the three days away – trying out new ways of training, exploring aspects of Chinese culture, embracing communal living and being closer to nature. Maybe it will become one of our traditions.
