Hi Everyone,

I hope you’re enjoying our beautiful Spring weather!  Here are a few school announcements:

EVENTS

World Tai Chi Day – Every year on the last Saturday of April at 10am, beginning in the Earth’s earliest time zone in New Zealand and ending in Hawaii, a peaceful soothing event unfolds and changes the world forever as it blooms around the Earth throughout the entire day – time zone by time zone.  Gently and effortlessly the world will breathe together in a T’ai Chi & QiGong relay of calm. 

This year, World Tai Chi Day will be on Saturday, April 26th.

 

If you would like to participate, please come to Hollyhills Park – 19200 Hollyhills Drive, Bothell at 9:45am.  We will start promptly at 10:00am by doing an 18 movement warm-up and then practice the Traditional 103 hand form, followed by the Sword and Saber forms.  Following our practice, everyone is invited to have lunch together at a nearby restaurant (any suggestions?).  Family and friends are welcome to join in or watch.

 

Please let me know if you plan to attend.
