Tai Chi Foundation’s 2018/19
Regional Winter Training in Seattle, WA
December 28, 2018 – January 3, 2019
Our fourth annual Seattle Winter Training is designed to enhance the learning and enjoyment of Tai Chi for all of our students, from those who have just learned the 1st third of the form through our most advanced students and teachers.
Beginning and Integration Level – We are offering Time in the Art from 3:30 to 4:30pm each afternoon, starting December 28 and continuing through January 3. Time in the Art will be taught by some of the Tai Chi Foundation’s most senior teachers. We will work with specific qualities of Tai Chi to provide invaluable insight and to enhance what we focus on in our weekly classes. Time in the Art will be followed, after a tea break, by Evening Rounds for all students.
Time: 3:30-5:15pm
Cost: $200 for the week, or $40 per day (pay at the door) Register Now
Listening Hands Level (PH 2/3) – We are offering more advanced work for students who are presently taking Listening Hands. This time is dedicated to refining our listening ability. Building on the work we started at the Whidbey training last summer and have continued locally, this gentle, playful work is very enjoyable.

Five Ways of Arica™
Many people come to Tai Chi for its meditative aspects as well as health and balance. Our school was founded by Patrick Watson, a senior student of the late Professor Cheng Man C’heng. Both recognized the value of the meditation work developed by Oscar Ichazo and offered through the Arica School®, a School of Knowledge. In fact, the Arica® work, central to the development of our curriculum, continues to play a guiding role that informs our most advanced work.
We are very pleased to offer a one day Arica training, The Five Ways of Arica™ on December 27. We are offering it before the rest of the Winter Training begins as it will help inform our Tai Chi study in the days that follow. All students as well as the general public are welcome.
Cost:
$150 for the general public
$100 for Tai Chi Students
$ 75 for students also enrolled in the Winter Training
Location: Good Shepherd Center 4649 Sunnyside Ave. Room 223
