Happy Spring 2013!

As spring approaches, it'll also be gone in the blink of an eye. It's always an exciting time as we prepare for our annual 9-day intensive in Westwater, Utah. This year will be our 16th year and I want to give a special thanks to those who have helped to make this event happen year after year. All the attendees, most come every year, have made this workshop their home away from home. We all feel this workshop, the site, and all the attendees have grown together. It's truly special to us all and I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody soon, being in this special place, and continue to work on improving our Taiji.

I'm very happy to receive my new book, "Workshop Notes." It's something I have been working on and off for a few years - more off than on. This book covers many topics that aren't talked about in other books. I focus on different subjects from my first two books. It has received many good reviews from readers. It is practical; readers can apply the many points to their practice and see a difference in their personal growth. I want to thank everyone who volunteered their valuable time on it.

I'm also happy to announce a new workshop coming up in the fall in Porto Alegre, Brazil, following with one in Belo Horizonte. I always feel good to visit nice people in new places and share Taiji. Maybe I'll see some of you there and if not there, maybe at one of the other wonderful places. I highly recommend those of you who like to do Push Hands to attend the U.K. workshop in Oxford. So far, the sign-up is less than stellar, which means you probably won't see another like this any time soon. Like the forms, you need to practice Push Hands intensively to make breakthroughs and reach new heights.

Until next time, take care and have fun!
