What do tai chi and painting have in common? More than you think! This creative workshop blends gentle movement, art-inspired activities, and mindful reflection to explore balance and beauty in both body and brush.

Please bring any kind of brush to this experience – a small art brush, brow brush, basting brush, wall painting brush, even a feather.

Open to all students and teachers.

This class is FREE for TCF members and $20 for non-members.
