S’ancrer dans sa pratique personnelle vers l’ouverture du coeur comme si l’on offrait un cadeau! -Diane, Iles-de-la-Madeleine QC

J’ai mal au dos, « on and off », depuis environ 30 ans. Des décennies de douleur pour quelques secondes d’inattention ! Je pratique le Tai Chi Taoïste™ depuis près de 10 ans.

Habituellement ma pratique personnelle est nourrie par les instructions que je reçois dans mes classes et dans les retraites taoïstes auxquelles je participe : Mes devoirs.  Ma première réaction à la suite de l’annonce du confinement a été la peur de me tarir et de ne plus progresser dans mon apprentissage.  Les semaines passent et […]

I love my daily individual practice of Taoist Tai Chi® arts outside in my condo garden or under a covered porch if it is raining. I have a deep experience of ‘oneness’ with nature.  I feel the unity of the vast macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm within myself. I have found great joy […]
