About

 

Welcome to a window into our Community of Practice…

We are a grassroots founding group of Tai Chi practice enthusiasts ranging from relative novice or rusty past-practitioner 😉 to well practiced student of the Art.  While our numbers are gradually growing as a community of practice, we openly invite others to join us from the surrounding region. Our shared interest in Tai Chi includes nurturing a community of practice.
