The class will be offered for 8 week starting Wed, October 22 at 12 pm Atlantic, 8 am Pacific, and 4 pm in the UK, finishing December 10th.  The weekly gathering will be for 90 minutes and will include applications of techniques to explore during the week.

The cost is $450 plus tax.  You will need the Complete Edition Touch for Health textbook and your enthusiasm to explore.

For those of you with a Tai Chi background, you will begin to see the power behind the Tai Chi moves through the lens of the Five Element Theory and Dr George Goodheart’s discoveries of the organ, meridian, muscle relationship.  Personal skill development will be bringing your movement knowledge forward, especially whole-body movement.  For those who work with clients, this will provide you with the knowledge of how to apply homework and follow up that will sustain and expand the energy activations you create in your one on one sessions.

Please register as soon as possible so we can begin to align any questions and areas of challenge with the Touch for Health materials you may have.  This is your class to explore and grow.  We welcome your inquisitive mind and your out of the box thinking.

See you soon.

PS  Tea is always served at class, so get ready to learn more about the Five Element Teas from the Cape Breton Tea Company.  Our Teas with Intention will enhance your understanding of the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula that is the super power behind the whole system in Touch for Health.

Dr Michelle Greenwell will highlight setting up your day for success through awareness, intention, posture power and integrative movement patterns using special exercises, Tai Chi patterns, and movement ideas.  She is joined by doctoral student, and intuitive musician extraordinaire, Colin MacLeod of Scotland who will be playing intuitively to the group and with the exercises to maximize the speed and agility of your transformation from chronic pain, stiff joints, and lower energy into vitality and resiliency.  Dr Greenwell will share the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula for successful daily habits, and together you will be empowered to engage in a wellness plan that meets you where your needs are and what you need to be inspired.

No experience is necessary.  Seated and standing options for movement will be offered.  This special group will grow in skill as you are nurtured for your personal needs and goals.

Course dates:  Tuesdays 12 pm Atlantic, 8 am Pacific, 4 pm UK.  September 9, 16, 23, 30, Oct 7, 14, 21, 28, Nov 4, 18, 25, Dec 2 (no class on Remembrance Day Nov 11).

The original course was offered in the spring of 2025 with great success and insights and you are welcome to purchase this special series as an adjunct to this course, however, it is not a pre-requisite.

In our first series we explored movement through the award-winning program for Unwinding Trauma, created by Tanya Levy, Michelle and Colin and presented in Tenerife, Spain and San Diego, USA.  In this series we will be exploring the Essence of the Spine and its relationship to sound, muscles, and whole body movement. We will continue our exploration of the sequences in the 108 Moving Meditation by Master Moy Lin Shin, both seated and standing, as well as some special patterns from Sabre and Lok Hup. Each set brings us deeper into the tissue and organs of the body to improve circulation, lymph flow, joint mobility, clear minds, and building energy. Our special focus each week is to help you gain experience with being grounded, finding your heart center, opening your mind to new ideas, and transforming your life into vitality and resiliency.

If you have never taken Tai Chi before, this is a great starting place. If you have never done the Seated Form of Tai Chi, this will be a great introduction.  If you have movement challenges, this will provide you with the space to adjust as you need.  If you have pain, an injury, or low energy, we recommend that you do everything at 40% effort, small and light.  With time you will find your energy grow and you will be able to ease into the exercises as you learn about your internal mechanics of moving.

Thank you for signing up for this life-expanding course.  We are looking forward to meeting you.

Please note that if you send an e-transfer you need to add tax to the course fee.
