“In order to become a master you need 4 things: good teachers; good friends; and to be in the right place at the right time.”
— Dr Shen
Our practice may begin with us — turning up, paying attention, learning the movements, experiencing the result.
But as we continue, we discover how much our progress is shaped by the people around us.
A good teacher guides, inspires and gives us energy. Good friends and fellow practitioners can encourage, challenge and support us.
And being in the right place, at the right time, can create the conditions for something to unfold that we could never have forced.
Perhaps this is one of the gifts of Taijiwuxigong: we practise together, and we grow together - like a forest :)
I am extremely grateful for the teachers, friends and community that make the system possible. 🌿
If you’re in BS3, Southville, Bedminster or elsewhere in Bristol and are curious about Taijiwuxigong, Tai Chi or Qigong, you’re very welcome to come and explore the practice with us.
