US Winter Training 2027
January 17th – 22nd
in Neptune Beach (near Jacksonville, FL)

This winter, embark on a deeper dive into your Tai Chi practice at the Cobalt Moon Tai Chi center in Neptune Beach.

As the days grow quieter, winter offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and explore our practice with greater depth and intention.

Within our review of B1 and the form, we will introduce new insights and key points of integration brought forward by the Curriculum Development Committee from the shared focus of Vincent Zee. We will be sharing these developments directly with the entire school as part of our ongoing apprenticeship journey.

Going beyond the levels of Push Hands presents an opportunity for each of us to connect, gather, release, and return at every stage of our practice. Why wait for a particular level before exploring these qualities when we can access them right now?

Together, we will approach our practice in a new and concentrated way, bringing greater depth, awareness, and integration to what is already within us. This is an invitation to explore, refine, and deepen our Tai Chi practice—not by waiting for the next level, but by discovering what is available to us here and now.

Join us this winter as we take this deeper dive together.

Winter Training is for apprentices trained within the Tai Chi Foundation, with a current Teacher Membership. If you’ve trained in Tai Chi outside TCF and are interested in joining us, please contact us at office@taichifoundation.org and we’ll be happy to talk about the options.
