Three Winter Training Events
The Tai Chi Foundation is happy to announce three upcoming winter trainings for apprentices, all in January.
See below for details.
US Winter Training Online
January 14 - 17, 2022
“Deep Dive into Healing and Renewal"
Gather online with us as we present our 44th annual winter training, focused on a “Deep Dive into Healing and Renewal”. We warmly welcome apprentices from all time zones, including Europe.

The training will have three (3) time slots between 11:30 am and 2:45 pm ET. During those hours we will all work together on Advanced Form Work, Ho’oponopono (Hawaiian healing work), and Time in the Art sessions focused on quality of teaching and/or an opportunity for teachers to share their experience.

After a 45-minute break, the training will continue with Sword or our online B2 and B3 apprenticeships. These apprenticeships will also meet in person outside of the training time frame, with apprenticeship teachers providing a chance to work in person and to practice how to physically adjust students. 

Daily schedule and registration info coming soon with tuition prices and link to register. 

Contact: MO with a cc to Matsu to communicate with us prior to registration; we'd love to know sooner if you are planning to attend, and welcome your questions.
The Herts STCC and
STCC London Winter Training
In-Person
January 3 - 7, 2022
England will start with B2 and Fundamentals apprenticeships on Monday and Tuesday and continue with a programme over six hours 12-6 pm GMT on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 

Core sessions each afternoon will include: Meditation, TYB, Form, Teaching practice, Sensing Hands, and Sword practice.
 
Location: St. Albans, just north of London, UK. We will be in the Homewood United Reform Church, one of the current teaching locations for the Herts Tai Chi School in St. Albans. 
 
Costs: Estimated costs are no more than £200 and likely lower than that, with current projected number of participants.
 
Numbers: Around 15 of us look able to come along to the training, which is excellent news. We plan on inviting long-standing/senior students to some of the training as well.
