T'AI CHI CLASSES AT STILL MOUNTAIN T'AI CHI CENTER.
Ongoing classes are held at Third Life Studio at 33 Union Square, Somerville.
Taijiquan ("t'ai chi") is a martial art from the north of China. It is an internal martial art, which means that its power comes from internal energy known as qi (pronounced "chee") and from the natural tenacity of the body's bones, sinews and muscles. Derived from Taoist principles, taiji quan is also a means for personal growth and transformation. To describe it in more familiar terms: if yoga were a martial art, it would be taijiquan.
Bede Bidlack is the director of Still Mountain T'ai Chi Center (Ardmore, PA and Somerville/Cambridge) and has been teaching since 1995. He has lectured widely on oriental and occidental spirituality. He is currently studying Comparative Theology at Boston College. He has been a Coop Member since he moved to Cambridge in 2002.

AN INVITATION TO REAL HAPPINESS
Many of us want to skip the steps needed for genuine happiness. We want immediate peace and tranquility, a short-cut to nirvana. Not emotional healing. It can’t be done. The PATH to self-realization runs straight through our own precious beating Hearts.
I blend depth psychology and spirituality to point people back home. REAL HAPPINESS, as distinct from quick ego fixes and gratifications based on what we have or do, happens for people who are REAL. People willing to remove their masks, wake up to their reactive behaviors, and heal wounds. We can love without conditions. We can open our hearts. We can shake ourselves free from feelings of being unworthy or “less than.” We can be genuinely happy.
Let me help bring you to the door of Love’s presence, and the real empowerment calling from within.
Within the next few months, I will be providing people with a roadmap for happiness, healing and transformation.
This 2 hour session will be in the local metro Boston area and asks nothing of you except that you show up and be willing to step into your life’s purpose.
If you are interested in this invitation, respond with your first name and email address to the following email address and you will receive notice of the event’s time and location.In awe for us, Marc Weinreich - arc_we@yahoo.com
