Tired but happy after IAD 2016
We’re just back at the International Centre after a hot but wonderful day celebrating International Awareness Day at Yonge Dundas Square in Toronto. Delegates from the 25 countries practising Taoist Tai Chi® arts brought greetings, and a lively samba band played during the parade. Sixty-three curious passers-by dared to try the four first movements of […]
Czech Republic @ CIT Week
Third day of practice, meetings, fun, a lot of good food with some first class services such as excellent fresh croissants at breakfast and every day fresh homemade buns by Mr. Lam. And the pleasure to wake up in the morning in this wonderful place among nice and friendly people and to share with them […]
Australia @ CIT Week
The atmosphere from the 576 participants is one of harmony, companionship and energy. We are enjoying the tasty meals provided and eaten outside in the beautiful Canadian summer. The kitchen people are doing a fantastic job! So far the workshop leaders have given us instructions in dan-yus and tor-yus, and we are working diligently in […]

Germany @ CIT Week
When I see this amazingly beautiful quilt I think how perfectly it represents what CIT Week is to me: a big and colourful family reunion. People come from far away, are happy to see each other after a long time, and everyone brings something from home to share with everyone else. — Steffi, Germany
Switzerland @ CIT Week
Day 2 at CIT week was ending and the practice hall was still busy with group meetings, people chatting, others practising the day’s instructions or other forms of Taoist arts. Although the days are really hot, as soon as the night kicks in, the many lights around the property, and the gift of […]

Hungary @ CIT Week
The start of CIT week. With almost 600 participants it was “half in the hall and half out on the deck”. In the lines for dinner, the chatter was in all languages. Even on the first day, there was so much to talk about! — Judit, Hungary
Denmark @ CIT Week
573 people sharing experience with the dan-yu and how to teach “dropping”. And how easy it is to make it complicated and losing the balance on the way. So my biggest take away from the afternoon is to get the simple focus of Balance – Drop – Smile into the practice. — Nis, Denmark
United Kingdom @ CIT Week
It’s day one of CIT Week and people are gathering for the afternoon session. Some are relaxing in the shade, some are doing tor-yus, and some are fighting over the last of the tasty buns – Theo (Cambridge, UK)
Slovakia @ CIT Week
Balance, drop, smile, eyes level – these were the most used words during the 1st day of CIT week. 573 participants from around the world gathered to work together not only on 108 movements. Excellent beginning was provided with inspiring discussions which make as think about our transformations and tremendous buns baked with the same […]

International Center Florida Construction Update for August 4, 2016
The International Center Florida is a very busy place. Workers this week included master carpenters, electricians, stucco installers, dry wall installers and foam insulation installers. The southwest wing of the building, which we knew was the most damaged by termites and water, has temporary shoring placed on the exterior walls to prevent movement as workers prepare […]
