Co pro mě Taoist Tai Chi® znamenalo v posledních letech?
Novinky spojené s pandemií mě i ostatní zasáhly jako vědro studené vody. Jsem velmi bázlivý člověk a podléhám stresu, a protože moje dcery žijí na venkově, kde byl od začátku počet nakažených ohromný, cítila jsem velikou úzkost a měla jsem obavy. Protože jsem musela zrušit plánovanou návštěvu svých dcer, zůstal mi chanting, který jsme každý […]
Kostarika
Chtěla bych se podělit o svoji zkušenost z této doby a vyjádřit se k některým bodům ze sobotních setkání, které mě napadly: „V těžkých časech vznikají příležitosti…“. Je to pro mě skvělá příležitost naučit se více o Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism. Učení a doporučení mi pomohla duchovně růst, najít disciplínu a větší rovnováhu, […]
Times that require change… Tiempos que exigen cambiar…
„Let’s not pretend that things change, if we always do the same …“ These wise words that I read many years ago, I am understanding better in this surprising time of pandemic. The great medicine that I have had to incorporate with greater discipline into my new life routine are the Taoist Tai Chi® Arts, […]
A month in the life of the club – news from Costa Rica

Watching Change Minute By Minute in Costa Rica
Last month, in a tranquil social atmosphere, we had an opportunity to make the profundity of Taoist Tai Chi® arts available to 50 people in our satellite in Tibás, San José, capital of Costa Rica. Through an Intensive, a lunch and a talk about Physiology and Taoist Tai Chi® practice, we could see the connections […]
Fung Loy Kok Day in Costa Rica
Last Sunday 24 participants gathered at the club to share a day of chanting, meditation, tai chi sets, cleaning our home, preparing food and sharing together. It was an opportunity to experience the benefits of the integrated training in the Taoist Tai Chi® arts Master Moy brought us. We explored chanting, both standing and kneeling, […]
International Program in Costa Rica
Last month we celebrated our two-day international program in Costa Rica that included participants from the Czech Republic, Great Britain and the United States of America. We’re in opposite sides of the world but it’s the same training, and we share some of the same mistakes as well! The workshop is different than what we’re […]
Exploring Physiology and Taoist Tai Chi® Arts in Costa Rica
Recently in the centre in Heredia, Costa Rica we had the pleasant opportunity to explore the subject of physiology and Taoist Tai Chi® arts through a series of five illustrated talks. This series of sessions has given us a greater insight into the depth of the arts and motivated the participants to practice more, but […]

On Friday, June 9th, 2017 we were able to attend an international symposium about the challenges of religious freedom in Costa Rica, following a formal invitation by the parliament. Several representatives of different religions, including Catholicism, Christianism, Judaism, Mormonism, Baha’i Faith, Islam, Buddhism and also two members of the Taoist Tai Chi Society representing Taoism […]
International Programmes as Family Gatherings
Part of the joy the Society brings to us are the opportunities for the family to get together, deepen our understanding of the Taoist Tai Chi® arts and get to know each other better. This year Allen Pearce from Portland, Oregon was assigned to lead our International programme and was able to spend an extra day […]
Chanting for Health in Costa Rica
During the last fortnight we were fortunate to have two opportunities to explore chanting for health in two-hour sessions on Saturday afternoons. We chant sutras twice a week at the clubhouse, but these sessions provide another type of opportunity to gain an introduction to these arts. For some it was the first experience of chanting […]
The Depth Of Simplicity in Costa Rica
How many times have we heard elbows down? How many times have we heard push up or hands first? Not enough we hope, as there is always more. There is a profoundness in the simplicity of instruction that can help connect the dots of what we have been working on during a period of time. […]
Taichiathon in Costa Rica
The last Thursday of 2016 a group of Costa Rican participants came together for an activity we had not organised before. Inspired by the example of the Taoist Tai Chi© family in Ireland, we organised a get-together where we did continuous sets from 1 pm – 9 pm as a fundraiser for the Fenway […]
Christmas Party in Costa Rica
There is nothing more rewarding during the holiday season than giving back to those in need. Our Christmas party focuses on just that: working together to plan, prepare, donate and celebrate the festivities with the families we support throughout the year. Weeks before this special day, all members help donate groceries for the families to […]
Connecting with Communities — Awareness Day in Costa Rica
When sharing the Taoist Tai Chi® arts, there are many ways in which we can give others the opportunity to find this path of mind-body transformation. In Costa Rica we had the chance of doing so on August 27th, celebrating Awareness Day during a morning filled with positive attitude. Sharing the joy of practicing together, […]
Costa Rica @ CIT Week
