Mary Boochever reminds us to slow down, move with intention, quiet our minds, and raise awareness to the energy we carry and shape. A longtime Tai Chi practitioner, Boochever finds the practice and philosophy has informed her work as a visual artist and how she lives her life. As our May Wellness Monday leader, she invites you to find your own natural balance, unlocking your creative flow.
Join us as we learn the fundamentals Tai Chi based on an ancient Chinese practice built around the philosophy of Taoism. The ancient practice continues to provide lasting health benefits and aligns practitioners with rhythms that cultivate peace by stressing the natural balance in all things and the need for living in spiritual and physical accord with the patterns of nature.
Participants should wear comfortable clothing. Movement is best done in socks or bare feet.
