PRESS RELEASE – For Immediate Release

 Connecticut’s largest World Tai Chi Day event moves to Colchester Town Green

World Tai Chi Day in Colchester CT April 28, 2012

Join us on the green:World Tai Chi Day in Colchester CT April 28, 2012, free workshops and classes all day!

After an amazing run of 12 successful years in Waterford, and  an inaugural first run in Colchester, Connecticut’s largest World Tai Chi & Qigong Day event is returning to the beautiful Colchester Town Green for 2012. This year’s event will be held Saturday, April 28th from 10:00 AM to 4:00PM. “Our goal this year is to improve our ability to reach people unfamiliar with these two ancient Chinese arts and give them the opportunity to understand more about the health and healing benefits associated with them. We think the quintessential New England town green that Colchester offers will allow us to do that” says this year’s event organizer, George Hoffman of Silver Dragon Tai Chi in Coventry.

Our event, and others like it, is part of the global World Tai Chi Healing Wave that starts in New Zealand and migrates around the world with celebrations beginning at 10:00 AM in every time zone. Last year’s World Tai Chi Day saw celebrations in 70 countries on 6 continents and in hundreds of cities in the US and around the world.

We’ll start with a mass Qigong (Chinese energy healing technique) exercise, easy for everyone to follow. We invite Connecticut and local residents to join us for a day of FREE workshops and demonstrations presented by more than 17 local tai chi and qigong teachers and masters. A schedule of 28 workshops, 6 demonstrations and 2 mass qigong exercises will offer something for everyone, from the merely curious to the experienced practitioner. Additional contributors this year include Grandmaster Jiang Jian-ye of Capital District Tai Chi & Kung fu in Albany, NY and Master Malee Khow of Malee’s School of Tai Chi & Kung fu of Manchester, CT.

Come join us for what we expect to be a day full of fun, education and celebration of these two wonderful ancient Chinese martial and healing arts. Details including directions and schedule for the day can be found by visiting: http://www.connecticuttaichi.us/
