Welcome

This page is dedicated to the T'ai Chi Chih fellows who attended the intensive weekend, on Oct 5 - 8, 2007.

T'ai Chi Chih (TCC)
太 极 智means "knowledge of the supreme ultimate", it was originated in 1974 by American T'ai Chi Master, Justin Stone, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

TCC consist of 19 movements and 1 pose. The benefit of TCC are bringing improvements in health, creativity, performance and intuition by circulating and balancing the Vital Force or Chi

TCC is not a martial art and is completely non-violent. Young and old will find it easy to learn and practice.

WHY HAVE I COME - by Dorene Krause

WHY HAVE I COME?

Reflections on the Intensive – Ringwood, NJ October 2007

And again I return to this peaceful place of new beginnings

where my journey began.

The mountains and the trees are as I remember them,

a constant for me,

and I am filled with a sense of coming home.

But much is different for me this time.

There are few familiar faces,

Old friends nowhere around.

I notice this and my mind speaks:
Why have I come?

But in my heart I already know the answer.

For this is where I began to grow,

where my small inner voice dared to speak

and another me emerged.

It is where I learned to fly.

I became my own loving mirror and

smiled at my reflection.

You all remind me of my early steps on a new pathway,

and I am grateful for the reminder . . .

To be embraced by the chi . . .

To trust the process of becoming . . .

And to continue the journey now with new friends

And a heightened awareness.
