T'ai Chi at Tippe's Living Waters!
Join us Monday evenings 6:30PM-8PM! $12 per class
What is t'ai chi? What type is being taught? Who is our teacher?
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese practice designed to activate the body’s own inherent nature for health using form and principles based on Chinese medicine and philosophy. As a formula for aligning with the very framework of life at its core, Tai Chi Chuan utilizes scientific knowledge and theory as well as cultural experience handed down from generation to generation. In this six weeks course, learn the beginning movements of the Tai Chi Chuan Yang’s Style-Short form and refine your skills of ‘true balance’- generating a deep relaxation within that awakens inner strength, focus, and vision. Moderate movements performed slowly and continuously. Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, and flat-soled shoes. The first class is an introductory workshop offering foundational information helpful in understanding concepts and form mechanics. The remaining classes continue to develop skills in balance, coordination, and fluidity of movement.

Living Waters Winter 2009 Events
Living Waters is excited to host its first conversation...
Just For Men... A Conversation: Civility in The Midst of Conflict
Saturday February 7th 10am-3pm Lunch Included. $15 Offering Asked.
Please register by calling LW Director Michele Bergemann at 218-2210 after 5pm, or Living Waters at 481-4680
Our Leader: Don Mendenhall Life Coach, Artist, Church Consultant
Conflict and misunderstanding is part of the human condition
in relationship to others. It is when conflict becomes destructive
and alienating that lives and community well-being become untenable. This time apart for the men
will offer opportunity to be in conversation about conflict in our lives.
An older term, that may well bring a renewed understanding
of conflict and dis-agreement within the lives of individuals, families, work settings, and yes, even congregations, is the concept of civility.
In the midst of even severe disagreement simply being civil can prevent the heartache of destructive conflict.
This gathering is part of the living legacy
of Don Buck's ministry and personal commitment
to spirituality and well-being. We gather in his honor.
Seeking some quiet?
