 The Werribee and Pt Cook Celestial Tai Chi groups participated in the annual Weerama Festival on Sunday, 4 March on a beautiful warm sunny day. We assembled at 10.30 am for the parade. Everyone was very excited and it was not long before we were walking down Watton street waving our Celestial banners, snapping our fans and giving out brochures. On passing the main tent of distinguished visitors, we made a point of lowering our flags and making our Tai Chi salutation. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, our local Federal Member reciprocated our gesture most warmly.
During the day, we also manned a stand at the Festival.  Many people asked us general questions about Tai Chi and about classes in our local area. John Sindoni led our performances at various times around the stand and also during a short performance on the main stage. (More pictures )
The day was very enjoyable, beneficial for all who participated and we hope to see some new faces at our centre in the near future.

Tai Chi in Vietnam and Malaysia - Celestial College Cultural Tour 2011 |
 Vietnam is a lush tropical country featuring a history of Imperial Dynasty’s, a French Colonial past, the recent war with the USA and the reunification of the north and south into a communist country. The people are kind and gentle and the cuisine is delicious. The shopping is also worthwhile.
There were 10 of us in the tour group led by Grand Master Eng Chor Khor. Every morning usually at 7am we practiced our Tai Chi with the Grand Master who also gave us lessons in a new (to us) Qi Qong form (Win Chun) every day. |
