I'm think I have been fortunate to have had a rural childhood, with communal dances and events. A good decade or so in a Morris side. Encounters with tai chi teachers. Regular table tennis sessions with a good group of a dozen or more. An allotment. Major parkland nearby...
What I lack is time for reflection and content creation.
I like this, my life always seems satisfyingly full of drops, splashes and ripples. I consider myself to be very blessed.
I’m just back from 2 days at Tai Chi Caledonia, I couldn’t afford the whole week this year, but the weekend was wonderfully alive with drops, splashes and ripples. Plenty of touch and interaction, the kindness of strangers, new experiences, laughter, memories of past times, solo moving meditation, the joy of greeting and playing with good friends, supporting and being supported and an unexpectedly deep conversation with a well known teacher who I’d been looking forward to meeting. It was a lovely break, a system reset and well worth travelling the distance for. Two days can be so refreshing!
I forgot to mention we have Sam Masich coming over again this summer. He arrives at our place on 4 August for a few days R&R before 10 days workshops/retreat at Sparsholt College. Just in case paths might meander to a crossing point this year.
Amazingly, I am around! I was due to be working but plans have changed. Can you press 'reply' to my newsletter in your email inbox? Then I can email you back personally to arrange something. Thanks!

I did some good rippling yesterday. It made me feel a lot better, and now I'm writing about it.
I look forward to reading that!

Ah, I used to love Taichi Caledonia! I haven’t been for so long but went four years running. I am glad you had a good time there.
