My workshop title and description:
Trace Back the Manifestations workshop
“To find the origin, trace back the manifestations.” is the Wisdom handed down in Lao Tze’s Tao Te Ching.
This very special workshop has been developed to help us adapt this Wisdom to our form development and thus our self development - and thus our Art’s development.
Stephen Watson has built a career in which the bulk of his students are teachers themselves - with the rest learning to teach as they go. One skill which sets him apart from most teachers is the ability to get to the root of an error - in motion, in understanding, in balance, in judgement, in consciousness. They say that in Tai Chi we are always rooting. Stephen is always rooting around for the root causes of errors and then teaching students the methods and processes by which causations are uncovered. In such a way, he has been able to reliably offers students the earned skill of self-criticism as well as the opportunity to develop the application of this skillset to students who may one day come under their tutelage.
Let’s get introduced to the skill of identifying errors to become a better student and a better teacher...thereby preserving and leaving behind a better Art for the next generations. This is important work. you are important enough for important work. Join us, won’t you?
