Pat Gorman and Gerrie Sporken develop our Roots and Branches 5 Element Qigong program, incorporating tai chi postures and massages CMC prescribed to his patients. Patrick had preserved this work from CMC with the help of Patty.  Apprentice teacher weekends are devoted to passing and embodying this work throughout the school.

The Shelter Island workshops take place between Spring 2003 and Autumn 2009, organized and led by Patty Gorman. The workshops were important to the curriculum development of the school. One workshop was ‘Playing with Fire’, a weekend devoted to Sword and Fencing, others included Pole & Calligraphy. The workshops explored material from both CMC and Patrick, aimed at reviving our heritage, and disseminating it to the wider school.

Suaimhneas School of Tai Chi Chuan, Dublin is started by Declan Rothwell and Seán O’Neill.
