Introduction to Taichi
Intensives calendar
This workshop is designed for both new and experienced students. After the success of Winter Week 2023, and the online seminar on the Five Animal Forms, we will once again explore the theme of the Five Forms through the Tai Chi set, foundation movements and standing meditation postures (站桩 zhàn zhuāng). We also invite you to participate in periods of sitting meditation every morning upon waking (靜坐 jìngzuò - sitting in quietude).
For those who are new to Tai Chi or want to learn it for the first time, we'll also offer an introductory course to the modern, health-focused Yang-style tai chi chuan (taijiquan) form taught by Moy Lin-shin.
For the more experienced, the program includes specific flexibility and strengthening exercises, as well as methods for improving alignment and overall coordination based on the principles of the Five Animal Forms. As many have discovered, the intensity of several days dedicated to taichi creates the conditions for deep inner work, both physical and spiritual.
The beauty of the site also invites you to take a walk in nature, or relax by the lake between sessions.
Outline of Cost and accommodation
For the 3-day workshop (5 periods of 3 hours each), 2 nights' accommodation in a double-occupancy room, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, use of practice rooms and common areas: $493 CAD. Price will vary depending on the type of room/occupation selected. To help you see what is available, you can consult the room location map on the CAMMAC website. All rooms have a washbasin, and some have a private bathroom. For the best choice of rooms, book early. If you'd like to share a room but don't know anyone else, please contact us. Write to us if you have a room requirement, otherwise we will assign a room to you on a first-come first-served basis. For all other details see the link on this page.
