Spring into April
Taoist Training
This year's Step 5 initiates broke two records: all completing their agreed tasks with only a minor variation, and surviving the most ferocious weather. Everything's perfect - a blizzard blew the tipi over, forcing startled sleepers to take refuge in a nearby and pre-arranged (well done, Kris!) shelter with thick carpets and under-floor central heating. It was so comfortable we felt compelled to run out and roll in the snow for a Scandinavian moment on Easter morning.
The next event coming up is Foundations of Taoist Practice Special Step 1 for Women only 12th & 13th April, 10am to 5pm, with Tanya McCormack and Uta Demontis co-facilitating with Kris Deva North.
The next combined Step 1 for men and women is at the Rosewell Centre in Stamford Lincs, June 21st & 22nd.
Step 1 is pre-requisite for Step 2 (Healing Love) and 3 (Power of Fusion) on the Summer retreat (August 1st to 9th) - make sure of your place this year - things are changing next year.
Diary note for Mantak Chia's visit: 7th to 13th November. Three exciting new workshops: Taoist Astrology & Feng Shui; Tao Yin & Tan Tien Chi Kung; DNA Stem Cell Chi Kung & Mindpower Manifestation. Registrations open in September.
Good news for those patiently waiting for the Cosmic Chi Kung 'Hands of Light' video. Here it is on the new Shamanic Healing page on the web site, completely free! and I'm sorry its taken so long...life happens...
Changes in the Tao
The London Tao Centre is making some changes to bring our training more into line with modern society's sometimes conflicting demands on resources of time and money. The focus is on outcomes and demonstrating commitment and ability, rather than time passed.
The training courses are being made more accessible and pre-requisites kept to the minimum. The aim is to offer a clear pathway for learning to teach these ancient but effective practices and for certification as one of our Taoist Trainers. Changes will be published on the web site www.healing-tao.co.uk and here in the newsletter as and when, the first being a change to the requirements for Taoist Practitioner following Step 5, now including a simple assessment:
demonstration of the Tai Chi form and explanation of the applications;
demonstration and explanation of the basic structures of Iron Shirt Chi Kung;
demonstrating an understanding of and ability to explain and demonstrate the Jade Circle or Jade Arrows practices.
Learn more If you've completed Step 5 in the past you can take your Practitioner Assessment at the Tai Chi Camp this year. The Interim Taoist Practitioner qualification (TP(int) is discontinued.
For Taoist Practitioners already assessed and certified to teach Intermediate Chi Kung, Beginner Tai Chi, and Jade Circle/Jade Arrows click here. Could you be among them?
