Free Event - Tai Chi in the Park!
Saturday 24th April 2010
World T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung Day, is an annual event held the last Saturday of April each year to promote the related disciplines of T'ai Chi Ch'uan and qigong in sixty countries since 1999.
The mission of this multinational effort is ongoing, to expose people to the growing body of medical research related to traditional Chinese medicine and direct them to teachers in their home towns. The global WTCQD directory doesn't screen or recommend the teachers it lists based on any vetting process or discriminate between T'ai Chi Ch'uan or qigong styles over others. The directory is an open directory anyone can post to.
World Tai Chi & Qigong Day also acts as a public, government, and media source for information on those disciplines, and works in conjunction with such divergent institutions as the National Council on the Aging, The National Parkinson's Foundation Annual Conference, the Fibromyalgia Coalition International, Rotary Clubs International, etc.
World Tai Chi and Qigong Day's stated goals are to:
1) Educate the world about emerging medical research revealing health benefits that Tai Chi Chuan and qigong offer.
2) Educate about the increasing use of these ancient traditional Chinese medicine modalities in business, education, penal and drug rehabilitation.
3) Provide a global vision of cooperation for health & healing purposes across geopolitical boundaries, and also an appeal to people worldwide to embrace wisdom from all the cultures of the world.
