Basics of Tai Chi

Saturday, April 11, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Presenters: Connection Tai Chi with Hubert Gagnon of Comme Les Nuages Tai Chi

Gain a Deeper Understanding of the Internal Aspects of Tai Chi

Offered in-person only.

Join us for a very special event, a virtual workshop presented by Connection Tai Chi with Hubert Gagnon of Comme Les Nuages Tai Chi in Montreal. Hubert began learning Tai Chi at age 22 and now has nearly 50 years of experience practicing and teaching Taoist internal arts around the world. This workshop is intended for current and past students of Moy Lin Shin style Tai Chi.

Hubert will focus on foundation exercises and the first 17 moves of the set and is appropriate for students of all levels. We will gather in person with Hubert on Zoom, so he will be able to see us all and personalize the session to our needs. This is an independent workshop, and no previous workshop experience is required.

Special Note: This workshop is a fundraiser to help with costs to bring Hubert here to lead an in-person workshop in the fall! Come take part in this rare opportunity to participate with an instructor of this caliber. We expect it to fill up fast, so register early. For this workshop, there is no credit or refund if you don't attend.

“To love a person is to see all of their magic, and to remind them of it when they have forgotten.” – Anonymous

This FREE group meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 4:00 p.m. each month on Zoom with the intention of creating a space where caregivers can share the challenges and victories that come with this special role. We will explore ways to find joy in each day and build a deeper sense of community.

This support group will be facilitated by experienced spousal caregivers, Pat Anderson and Rachel Fitch. Pat is a retired counselor and a licensed Unity Teacher. Rachel is an executive coach with a long career leading organizational professional development.

We hope you will join us if you are a caregiver or if you would like to better understand how to support a loved one who is a caregiver. All shared experiences will be kept confidential.
