Greetings. Very hot week, but lovely in the shade of the trees in the Park with the slight breeze coming off the water. Summer visitors continue to join us and are always a welcome addition. Only two more weeks until we return to the studio for our classes. Joyce is...
Greetings. Summer continues here in the Pacific Northwest. Dry and lots of sun. We seek out the shade in the Park instead of the sun. Great to have visitors from out of state. Chi Kung exercises benefit from Fire (Sun), Earth (Park setting), Air (so pure here), and...
Greetings. Practicing on the wharf. Dolphins, eagles, seals, otters, heron, every sea bird imaginable. Water, snow capped mountains, mild weather. Typical day in Port Townsend. Hope you are well and enjoying being where you are. Exploring Each Move One of the best...
Greetings. I hope this email finds you well. Our lovely weather continues, and the Studio takes a month vacation so we instructors can focus a bit more on our own practice. I will continue sending the tips, and classes will resume in September. Musing about Tai Chi...

Greetings. Happy Independence Day. We here in the U.S. have so much to be thankful for. We have the opportunity to do and to be whatever our hearts and minds direct, either through desire or setting goals. I wish each and every one of you the energy you need to make...
Greetings. There is a saying in our area – June Gloom. When most of the rest of the country is starting summer like conditions, Port Townsend, like Seattle, seems stuck in spring. Yet, being raised in San Francisco, I like the cooler conditions. But it is hard...
Greetings. I used to live in Tucson, Arizona. Started my Tai Chi teaching career there. It is supposed to reach 115 degrees today! Boy, am I glad I moved to Port Townsend, where the high temperature should almost reach 70! Hope all is well for you and yours. Invest in...
