Members of Redding Tai Chi gather every Saturday in the McConnell Arboretum and Gardens for Tai Chi practice. On a recent Saturday, the seasonal pond, filled by recent rains, added a serene backdrop. It was a particularly quiet morning with a light rain falling as we practiced. Towards the end of our session, an otter swam near us and crawled onto the bank of the pond. We observed its playful antics—stretching, scratching, and rolling on the bank—for about 15 minutes. The Arboretum is a wonderful place to practice Tai Chi. We are there throughout the year, each Saturday. Click on the link belo ..read more

In the summer of 2015, we began meeting once a month for Tai Chi practice. By the end of that summer, we decided to continue our gatherings throughout the year.

Today marked the last Tai Chi practice of 2023, and despite the potential for rain, a few of us decided to embrace the elements and meet anyway. Here’s a picture we took after we finished ..read more
