World Tai Chi Day 2024: Event Summary

- Stephen Dorage

On Saturday, April 27, 2024, the Tai Chi 4 LIFE Cooperative celebrated Decatur’s 12^th anniversary of hosting World Tai Chi-Qigong Day with two events. During the first event at 10:00am, 32 people circled up under the old oak trees at Legacy Park, with another 13 folks joining via Zoom – along with the rest of the world – to do various Tai Chi-Qigong moving meditations with breath. For the second event, a book discussion, the group moved indoors to the auditorium for refreshments and to hear from guest author, Dana Winter, about her book, You... God: Connecting the Dots. Twenty people were in the auditorium, and five joined via Zoom to listen to Dana’s presentation and the subsequent discussion. Participants were excited by both events! The movement event provided new opportunities (through all our various teachers) to breathe and move into meditation and stillness. The book event offered another way to see ourselves on the earth and in this universe. Join us whenever you can, as we have classes most days of the week!
