$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away
Presentation Description:
Most people are familiar with T'ai Chi as a physical practice that builds balance and flexibility, or as a health promotion practice to balance the chi, as moving meditation, or as a system of self-defense. T'ai Chi is all these things, and it is also a wonderful laboratory for learning about relationship with ourselves and others.
In this interactive and engaging presentation, join Nando as he guides you in a variety of simple movements suitable for all ages and abilities. The first portion of the evening will be devoted to movements designed to deepen your sensitivity to your own natural rhythms while the second will make use of this sensitivity with a partner.
This is a great evening for couples and friends while being suitable for anyone ready to learn about themselves and interested in connecting with others.
