Ottawa Dragon Dance Aug 28 2013
Late last winter, the Ottawa Branch was invited by the City to help turn Marion Dewar Plaza, in front of City Hall, into a place where people come to gather. Beginning July 10th, we have offered weekly demos and free beginner classes every Wednesday. Enthusiasm for this weekly noon hour event has not lagged once during the summer and on August 28th the last day of this program there were well over 100 participants. We capped off the program on August 28th, bringing the dragon out to play. The humidity was high but there was no rain. The dragon wowed everyone with its spirals and our set demos attracted the attention of many. Many thanks to those who came from near and far to be part of this awareness and promotion activity.
La ville d'Ottawa a invité la section d'Ottawa à la fin de l'hiver à transformer la Plaza Marion Dewar, située juste devant l'Hôtel de ville, en un lieu de rassemblement communautaire. Nous avons offert des démonstrations et des cours de débutants gratuits tous les mercredis midis depuis le 10 juillet. L'intérêt pour ces rencontres hebdomadaires à l'heure du lunch ne s'est pas démenti tout au cours de l'été. Nous avons réussi à dépasser les 100 participants le 28 août pour la grande finale à laquelle notre dragon a pris part. Même les menaces de pluie, d'orage, la chaleur et l'humidité n'ont pas réussi à refroidir notre ardeur. Le dragon en a mis plein la vue avec ses spirales et il a ravi grands et petits. Nos démonstrations ont retenu l'attention de plusieurs personnes. Nos plus sincères remerciements à tous ceux et celles qui sont venus de près et même de très loin pour participer à cette activité de promotion et de sensibilisation.
The life-changing Taoist Tai Chi® arts are based in the Taoist tradition, in which true health comes from cultivating body, mind, and spirit to achieve harmony within the self and with the universe. The Taoist Tai Chi® arts exercise the entire physiology, including the tendons, joints, connective tissue, and internal organs. The movements contribute to better posture, increased strength and flexibility, and improved circulation. The practice of Taoist Tai Chi® arts is also a form of meditation. Each step in the training returns the mind to stillness, clarity, and wisdom, helping us let go of worry to allow for a sense of well-being and happiness.
