MMTCA October Newsletter 2017

"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live."

— Dalai Lama

We've had such a great Fall already and Tai-Chi out in the cool, crisp air, with leaves gently crunching under foot, is downright heavenly! Enjoy!

Our new schedule continues with the exception that classes will be suspended the weekend of Oct 28th and 29th for Master Choi's seminar.

Check out our website for updates and upcoming video downloads and study sheets. A HUGE thank you to the website team: Volkan, Julie, Keith, Spencer, Margo, and Matt. I can't do it without you and all your work and output is greatly appreciated, Namaste!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
