The local branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society in Great Britain were invited to participate in Diversity Week at Tendring Technology College. Leaders in Training led two sessions for about 50 year 8 students plus 5 staff members. Information about the organization, our founder Master Moy and some of the health benefits of the practice, was shared. Students tried some of the foundation exercises, and were led through the first few moves of the set, focusing on expansion, contraction and weight shifting and given the opportunity to share their feelings. They said they felt calm and peaceful. We hope to have planted some seeds to grow future Leaders in Training.
On Thursday, 11 July, we welcomed the 1st Stanway Scouts Group to the European Centre in Colchester.
About 30 beaver scouts and their families came for a session. We showed them a foundation exercise and some moves of the set. We led them in chanting the Bo Hui Jaan and talked about the benefits of chanting. We talked about the shrine and how we look after it. And we introduced them to the dragon.
Their participation in the evening will help them to achieve a badge by visiting a place of worship, meeting people who help others, engaging in health and fitness, and learning five new things. The scouts were thoroughly engaged, were very open to sharing the feelings they experienced during their practice, and genuinely enjoyed the session.
Everyone Welcome
