“Reading
my book to the group I felt supported—it was a privilege to share it with the
group— the beautiful and moving feedback I have had from people about my book
has been both humbling and given me a clear sense of respect for myself—for
the effort I have put into my training and I feel proud of my openness to share
the personal experience in my life from my heart.
I am awe-struck by the multi-dimensional learning which happens here.
Thank you Choy, Christine, Sweetie, Beloved for your compassion and
selfless service”.

& F3T Graduate Teacher,
author of ‘Goodbye ME, Hello me!’
Heart beat listening, looking for the pauses between breath are helping me to slow down, relax, come back to me. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME SEE IT IS OK TO FEEL AND NOT TO SUPRESS. I have a hunger to learn and never realised I was looking for a teacher to help me help myself. I feel humbled because I have so much to learn and unlearn. The security and support I am coming to feel here is also helping me to open and flower.

The most inspiring insight in this workshop was the experience of limitless chi flowing in silence. When this chi flowed to my heart I experienced a love I have never known before.

I have learnt the art of letting go, to ‘swim’ in the chi/with the chi, to be more balanced and focussed/grounded. I learnt to listen. I realised that it is alright to love myself as I am. I have been taught for many years that other people are more important than me. I feel like a small flower just emerging from the ground with its face pointing to the sun light! Thank you Choy for your wonderful inspiring and humorous sessions. I will remember them with joy in my heart. Thank you Christine for the wonderful food you’ve so kindly grown. The love and chi it was grown with tasted of bliss!

'Ever
since I was a child, I felt that everyone had Happy Light Beings within them
even if they were unaware of it. When I started learning Tai-Chi Form in my
teens I found a philosophy and set
of exercises that showed me how to apply this self-awareness in daily life.
I also saw that people who found true happiness and health were like
'stars' that lit up their and
people's lives. I am a Tai-Chi
teacher who has already helped more
than 70,000
people find happiness. You will find this Light Being in the Joy of Meditation
in Motion. The programme balances you through
the seriousness
and fun of learning Tai-Chi Form
and the Zhineng Chi Healing
Exercises and Principles.
Zhang Bo Duan in the 11th Century wrote, 'When Yin and Yang unite, the Tigress
and Dragon (within you) embrace in a
Tai-Chi Dance of Ecstasy!! Qualitum
is a term I invented. Before Quantum
Physics, we need to understand the QUALITATIVE
SCIENCE OF PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. ALL LIFE NEED JOYOUS CHI !'

I
am learning to be at peace with stillness, especially by looking to and
meditating in nature. The flowers
remind me that wu-chi is in nature and can be safe.
This is allowing me to unfold. I
am beginning to see the amazing depth of some of the fundamentals and the Summer
School has increased my depth of understanding.
Pablo Toledo
The
real me can invite and commune with love...that I can be a catalyst for
love...that I need to use this catalyst to come away from my mind and negative
selves and put my heart first consistently.
To use my own love to melt myself. During
the goodbye without words, I felt such a variety of things—I felt peoples’
hearts were different colours, different rhythms, different brightness,
different warmth and shapes—the world seemed fuller and brighter and more
surprising and happy and exciting. My
heart felt like it was breaking and being healed at the same time.
Charlotta Le Broque
I have had the chance to look more deeply in lots of aspects of life and nature instead of drifting along on the surface. Throughout the whole of the time, seeing the people who have been healed, the compassion which has been shown, the whole time has been so inspiring, the dedication throughout has been really the most inspiring.

The time I connected to a single blade of grass—two beings united—I learned so much. Choy and Christine, thank you for all the wonderful moments, especially : the sand shower on the beach, the wind and rain in the valley, the delicious food, the water in the pool, the chanting, all your preparations, the new campers shed, wonderful hot showers, amazing energy in the school, picnic on the beach, playing under the parachute, Tao games, Sweetie, Love, Light, Chi, Thank you!

Practising
the ‘wheel turning’ partner exercise by the river as a couple gave me the
insight that the steps I was taking were too big.
When I adjusted the size of my steps we flowed in a different and
beautiful rhythm as one rather than 2. It
was such a simple thing—to just adjust my steps!
Practical and down to earth...shows so clearly aspects of our flow
together to help me understand the dynamics of our relationship in a Tai Chi
way, for me is a very valuable tool. Fiona

When
me and Sophie did the Tai Chi Form together at the river it was the most gentle
and beautiful experience. I realised as I humbled myself how lovely the energy
can be. I also realised at the Sharing night how unique and amazing each
individual was. When people are just themselves the world is a brighter more
energetic place. Mike Toye
I
love the Tai Chi Form leading to the first Single Whip sequence. The leading
from the heart to peace and contentment and being able to be both, and feel
grounded and assertive at the same time being sensitive and grateful.
Gunn-Berit Kleiveland
I
made some profound connections with water during this workshop
- the session in the pool was
truly electrifying and I BECOME THE WATER. The time at the river was a flowing
dance of Yin and Yang energies for me, and to sit silently on the bank, watching
the river as a burnished metal surface, with a blue green damsel fly on each
leg, was absolute perfection! Linda
