Due mainly to the expert organizational skills of a hard-working Workshop Committee, South Nova Branch hosted a very successful one-day event on 19th October. It was held in Mahone Bay and attended by an overall number of 44 participants. The morning began with 20 members present at an Instructor Forum which included practice in beginner-level Diagonal Whip and continuing-level Wave Hands. Also, some explanation was shared on the term ‘being grounded’ and what benefits standing foundations may have on the body. There were 39 at the afternoon Tai Chi workshop including some from New Brunswick and the far reaches of Nova Scotia. It was expertly led by Michael Haley (Halifax) and Paul Clarke (Cumberland). The busy and fun-filled session included a full range of instruction from Tor Yus, through Strum the Pai Pa, to experiencing the diverse benefits of doing the set speedily (lots of gleeful exclamations) and slowly, with focus on form. The evening Lok Hup session had 22 participants and was skillfully led by Maria Gillespie (Shediac) who shared a much-appreciated soft and relaxed focus on the practice.
