Our new season begins in October 2023! Join us for Tai Chi and Qigong at the Regent Centre on Locke Street South.

December 2020 Holiday Schedule

Hi Everyone!

I trust your truly bizarro year is about to be capped off, like mine, with a Christmas with a Difference. I'm planning to take it easy this year, stay close to home, and have a truly cosy holiday season. 

Tai Chi and Qigong Classes

All online Tai Chi and Qigong classes will run as usual throughout December, with the following exceptions:

There will be NO classes on Saturday, December 26, 2020, or Monday, December 28, 2020.

Classes will run on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020 but in anticipation of highly variable attendance, and to make up for the two Qigong classes that will be cancelled on the 26th and the 28th, I'm changing up the schedule for this one day. 

Classes on Wednesday, December 30th will be as follows:

1-2 pm Qigong
2-3 pm Tai Chi All Levels (I promise this will be easy for beginners and challenging for intermediate and continuing folks)
3-4 pm Lok Hup, Sword, and sundry advanced review

I won't be teaching new content so if you can't attend on the 30th, don't worry! I reckon some of you might like to get a workout in.

The regular class schedule will resume on January 2nd, 2021. 


Meditation and Chakra Discussion Sessions

Sunday, December 13, 2020, 3 pm 
We'll continue our discussion of Anodea Judith's Eastern Body, Western Mind, with the chapter on the Solar Plexus chakra. There is no charge for these sessions. It is a casual discussion of a very challenging book.

Sunday, December 20, 2020, 2-4 pm
Winter Solstice Guided Meditation
This beautiful moment in the year is among the most peaceful and powerful from an energetic perspective, although we often fill our time with busy-ness and extra socialising. I believe this year offers a unique opportunity to slow down, check in with ourselves, and practice self-care. This session will include a fun and gentle guided meditation to help you align with the true purpose of the season: to embrace the spirit of restfulness and rejuvenation. The cost is $20.

Sunday, January 3, 2020, 2-4 pm
Heart Chakra Guided Meditation
The chakra series continues in the new year with this, the turning point of the chakra system. In the heart, the earthly energies of the lower chakras meet the spiritual superhighway of the upper chakras. Learn how to mingle these two forces with love as we explore the heart through discussion and guided meditation. Fee: $20.

The complete Chakra Meditation Series schedule is here. The discussion of the corresponding chapter from Eastern Body, Western Mind occurs the week after each guided meditation.

All meetings take place via Zoom. For more information or to join, contact Melissa at smithmk2@gmail.com or (905) 521-0043.
