“Being part of this symposium was an amazing life experience. I had the honor and opportunity to know fantastic masters and great people involved in an art that has helped me to transform myself and the way I interact with the world. Finding and breathing a united, kind, friendly environment in which to learn tai chi chuan from the source is like receiving a treasure of wisdom. Through practice, work, fun, and the knowledge learned in these days, I found myself present, calm, happier, and living fully. This was just the beginning in a large path of wisdom, health, and friendship shared with many other passionate practitioners around the world.” – Tina Ochoa, Guadalajara, MEXICO.
“If there ever was an event dedicated to learning tai chi, this was it. It truly was a great learning experience. Each session was jam-packed with new information and new insight. I learned from recognized representatives from the Chen, Yang, Wu (Hao), Wu, He and Sun styles of traditional tai chi chuan. The academic findings were full of valuable information. Awesome! Overwhelming! And, I might add, exhausting. There was so much. I loved it." - Andy Lee, East Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
"I very much enjoyed many elements of the symposium. Other than having the wonderful opportunity of meeting and learning from the grandmasters in their workshops and participating in the morning sunrise practices, I really loved renewing and making new friendships with tai chi enthusiasts from all over the world. I also liked the time we spent sharing meals in the company of new friends, exchanging experiences, and learning how others incorporate tai chi into their lives." – Nicole Long, Montreal, CANADA.
