Ecstatic Tai Chi with George Thompson - Balance is Possible!

Join filmmaker and tai chi teacher George Thompson for a one-of-a-kind experience blending the flowing grace of Tai Chi with the joyful freedom of Ecstatic Dance. No experience needed - just curiosity and a body to move.

We’ll begin in stillness, grounding ourselves and releasing tension with our breath. From there, we’ll explore the “Five Moving Forces” Tai Chi form, embodying the elements of nature through movement, rhythm, and laughter. We'll then flow into playful bass music - a true tai chi boogie! And we’ll finish with a beautiful sound journey, where you can rest and also sound your voice with the amazing Full Joy founder George Montagu.

This is a space where all of you is welcome - no matter your fitness, stiffness, or headspace.

Tai Chi is not just a movement practice, it's a philosophy for life. Come discover the power of mindful, playful movement with George Thompson...
