It was a brisk and refreshing afternoon to be back outdoors for Tai Chi at Pioneer Park yesterday.

Kraig brought firewood and kept a wonderful fire for us to stand around and chat. Debbie, who is aways thinking of others, brought cookies and candy to share. We all sang Happy Birthday to Terri, a tai chi enthusiast, a joy coordinator, and who is once again helping to coordinate our studio winter coat and outerwear drive. We’re collecting new or gently-used all winter!

And if that wasn’t enough, we had a very special guest stop by towards the end of practice, Sherry’s adorable granddaughter! As you can see, this little bundle in a snowsuit is our youngest tai chi enthusiast.

As the sun began to set everyone gathered handfuls of snow to ensure our campfire was fully extinguished.

This being Christmas weekend, I’m never sure if people would show up or not. They did! It turned out to be a lovely way to wrap up another exciting year with our community of tai chi enthusiasts! ❤️

A quick note if you want to join us in the new year: Sherry’s next 8-wk Intro to Tai Chi Class Series runs Mondays, January 12th - March 2nd, 4:45 - 5:45pm in the warmth of HW Studio. Sherry will guide you through the sequence of movements of the Yang 24 Form. Class is almost half full. Don’t wait to register.

Let’s now welcome 2026! It promises a rare intense energy of the blazing Yang Fire Horse! 🔥🔥🔥 We are ready! Bring it on! Chinese Lunar New Year is officially February 17th on our calendar.

As we reflect on another year, 2025 proved to be extra challenging for many. Our studio community never hesitated in stepping up and caring for one another.

The year’s ongoing directive was, “Don’t postpone JOY!” And became the year that brought us our community walking group, monthly pop dance fundraisers, and regular group outings and gatherings.

Whether you primarily enter this studio space for community acupuncture, group classes, individual therapies, community support, and activism work, or all of the above; we are grateful for your presence and varied contributions to our studio community. We are honored to walk along side you on a fierce healing journey of ourselves, but also our larger community and environment. For we acknowledge that all are interconnected and intertwined.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
Wishing all of us peace and joy in 2026.

Wishing you a season filled with the awe of a toddler rockin’ a cowfit at Nacho Mama’s!

Winter Solstice, the Greatest Yin. A time to slow down, embrace the dark, and reflect on our many blessings — simple moments that deepen connections with friends.

Through years of these gatherings, the friends who are no longer with us remind me to always take lots of pictures and share them widely. I definitely didn’t take enough this time to capture the love and generosity of this growing community.

Thank you to all the dear friends/tai chi students for the opportunity to share this practice, this Form that I consider a treasured gift. Thank you for bringing wonderful food, warm drinks, old traditions, decorations, and twinkle lights!

“When Yin reaches its extreme, Yang is born.” This is the law of continual transformation. Let us now welcome the slow return of the light.

Our next Tai Chi Community Gathering is Saturday afternoon, January 17th. If temps cooperate, we will celebrate at Pioneer Park.

This time of year gets crazy busy; not just in community acupuncture, but with everything. Decorating tends to fall lower on the priority list.

A community acupuncture patient asks, “Are you ok if we put up some garland and lights here?” I’m like, “Sure!”

The twinkle lights are still coming. But this simple touch already gives a more festive vibe. I love how this community picks up when I might not get around to something… 🎄

Reminder, a few days there’s NO community acupuncture this holiday season:
Dec. 24th, 25th, 26th, 31st
Jan. 1st, 14th, 15th, 17th

Some of the coolest people come to community acupuncture. One today brought this huge heirloom squash from their garden just because I have lots of family staying at my house this holiday season. I was also sent the background info on the seeds. I’m definitely saving seeds on this one! 🧡
