| The Monkey King Himself! Paul B. Gallagher June 28th 1944- March 24th 2023, R.I.P. |
“One of the benefits of Tai-Chi is the joy of the movement.”
-Master Paul B. Gallagher
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of
my classmate, teacher, friend, and brother, Paul Gallagher, to the celestial
realm on March 24th. I will write a blog highlighting Paul’s extraordinary life. I’m
also editing a highlights reel of some of his various forms and practices. I’ll
post a link for his obit when it is published.

Our schedule remains the
same for April but with this exception. I will only hold one zoom pushing-hands
class this month, Monday, April 17th, 6:30-7:30. We’ll review The Brush Knee
etude. I have one zoom class weekly and will be expanding that in the Fall.
Stay tuned!

August 25_ 28th Summer Tai-Chi Retreat at Wild
Rice Retreat Center in Bayfield WI.
The cost is 900.00 per person. That includes instruction and
presentations, 2 meals a day, room and lodging, use of the facilities and
sauna, for three nights and two and a half days. We’ll do a long practice each
day, have free time to hike and explore, and have sessions on:
-Solo Form Updates, Review, and Refinement.
-Applications for the 2nd Section.
-2 Advanced Pushing-Hands Drills: Willow #2, and Short
Power.
-Two-Person Cane Form.
-Pa-Kua two-person form, The Black Dragon Wags Its Tail.
The center is a short walk, on a wooded trail along Lake
Superior, to downtown Bayfield. I will also have programs and presentations for
the evenings. I need a deposit (refundable) of 300 dollars by May 1st.
If we have enough people to make this a go, I’ll expect the balance by August 1st.
I’ll be arranging rides for the out-of-town people and will coordinate carpools
for the locals.
