My Self Practice
I came to FLK and Taoist Tai Chi® arts in June 1991, so just 30 years ago. The time has gone so fast; I feel like I am still a beginner, and I am still a beginner. During the pandemic I was encouraged to practice on my own. Little by little I learned to stop […]

Approfondir le sens du Festival de toutes les âmes
[English follows] Au cours de mes nombreuses années de pratique du les arts Tai Chi Taoïste®, je n’avais pas développé d’intérêt pour ce festival.
