WEEK 1: January 8, 2012 - January 14, 2012. Tai Chi Cultivation in 24 movements
The 24 form is known as the «international» style of Tai chi, developed for the purpose of competition. It includes the basics of Tai chi and is very good for beginners as well as advanced practitioners. With this rather simple form, the understanding of the inner workings of Tai chi can easily be developed. Master Li emphasizes the internal practice in terms of the «feeling» being generated by this Tai chi style. The «feeling» can be referred back to the interconnectedness of body, mind and the specific motion of chi associated with this Tai chi form. Read more..

 Tao Geomancy 9-13 January, 2012 By Feng Shui & Tao Geomancy Master Christiana Helth

The art of geomancy had been practiced in many different cultures of the world, until it gradually got lost in the western world over the past century. In China, geomancy has a great tradition. Taoism extensively deals with the mastering of energies, including the earth's energy which ensouls stones, mountains, plants, and water.

Moreover, these masters cleanse living space from disease and misfortune, because such incidents can be accumulated over a long period of time and have negative effects on subsequent inhabitants.
