Chinese New Year is on February 10th, and
we will be celebrating on the actual day. I have a demo planned and am
arranging a banquet, more like lunch than dinner. Full details next month.
I’m teaching a retreat and seminar with Twin Willows
Tai-Chi Studio. Retreats like this are a chance to immerse yourself in Taiji and the Taiji community learning, practicing, and reviewing. There are a few people who are
signed up from the Twin Cities, only two spaces left. Let me know if you want to go and I’ll fill you
in on a few travel options. All the details are attached at the bottom.

My book on Pushing Hands is even closer now! With a
photo shoot under my belt, and many hours of editing, I’m close to handing it
off to be designed and laid out by Julie Cisler. Believe me, I’ll let you know when
it’s available!
Upward Split and Push at White Cloud Temple! Some photoshop fun from the photo shoot, thanks DD!
All the best to you and yours for the coming year!
