 On this page we'll attempt to keep you informed of anything interesting to look out for, including any seminars or workshops we may offer.
 

 

 

Last Sunday in June every year, 2.30pm 

National Tai Chi Day - "Tai Chi in the Park"

 

On the grass above Waterloo Lake at Roundhay Park, Leeds in front of the old and recently restored Victorian "fountain".  (Looks a bit like a small temple and doesn't have any actual water coming out of it).  This is the big, lower lake, not the top lake with the proper fountains in the middle of it.  (We say this because every year some people go to the wrong lake and miss most of the Tai Chi.)

This event was initiated by the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain about a decade ago.  Tai Chi practitioners throughout the country go out into their local park at 2.30 on the last Sunday in June and just do some Tai Chi, alone or in groups.   

 

We had a great turnout again this year in spite of the football! 

See below.

Latest News: 
 
 
 
Bagua in the Park 2010!
 
 
 
This year's Tai Chi in the Park (National Tai Chi Day) saw the return of our original and great Bagua man, Ed Hartley, who teamed up with our champion Ben Morris for a splendid round of Bagua.  
A rare treat and far more interesting than the football!  Thanks guys.
 
 
And thanks to all those of you who came along and helped us to keep the tradition alive.
 
It was also great to see the return of our old friend John Donegan, last seen as our amazing compere at the Ramgharia Centre display in 2004.  John is now a qualified Acupuncturist, so if you fancy some therapy, you know where to come.
 
If you missed the gathering this year, do join us next year or just go along to your local park. 
It's always the last Sunday in June at 2.30pm.
 
 

 
Our own Steve Scholey is the latest of our intrepid students to volunteer for a feat of human endurance in order to raise money for charity. 
 
He's done the Leeds 10K on the 4th July for the Leeds Children's Charity. 
 
If you'd like to sponsor him, you can do it on line by clicking this link to JustGiving.com
 
 
 

Peace, Perfection and Paparazzi
 
 
 
 
 
 
We thought you might like to share some of the loveley photos taken by John Patterson on our recent school trip.  The Saturday morning masterclass and the Philosophy group went down to Maitreya's garden on a fine Saturday morning at the end of September.
  
 
We all enjoyed the peace and beauty of the garden 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 and we have evidence that the paparazzi get everywhere...
 
 
 
 
 It was a good day for taking photographs of people taking photographs
 
We would like to thank our dear friend Buddha Maitreya for his incredible garden, for his hospitality - including his famous heavenly tea and heavenly scones - and for taking the time to share with us his thoughts about life, meditation and enlightenment.
