Hands on, small groups, lots of practice!
We are taking a brand new approach to these seminars, an approach that will be even more effective than our past wildly successful Symposiums. We want you to leave confident in your abilities and rarin' to go! Therefore, this weekend is very much hands on, very interactive with many opportunities to teach and to practice. IMPORTANT CHANGE:
To increase the effectiveness of teaching ever increasing amounts of material, this year I have divided the Symposium into SECTIONS.
SYMPOSIUM - "The Main Event!" (BASICS/ADVANCED)
Two and a half days are devoted to the "Basics" for first level Certification, with Advanced Breakaways.
Easy Tai Chi CORE
Then we offer an optional half day dedicated to CORE teaching and practice.
Easy Tai Chi FLOW
And an optional full day for those interested in learning Easy Tai Chi FLOW. Prices and descriptions are below.
* Any Certified Leaders and Teachers present will have opportunities to take leading roles over the weekend, helping students and those wishing to become Certified this weekend.
DATES: Nov. 11 - 15, 2010 - 4 wonderful days of training
Thursday evening, Nov. 11, all day Nov. 12, 13, 14, 15
November 11 - Thursday evening
"Meet and Greet" On Thursday evening, we will do a "meet and greet". This session is mandatory so the formalities and introductions will be completed and not interfere with training time. This session will be the beginning of many lifelong friendships.
November 12, 13, 14
(until noon)
Basics / Advanced
- Infinite Nine, Scripts, Basics, Advanced Breakaway, Certification
1. Creating CONFIDENT practitioners - making your practice spectacular!
This session is perfect for anyone who has learned the Easy Tai Chi (Infinite Nine) form from the video or DVD. As always, our main goal is to improve your technique. Better technique ALWAYS creates improved benefits. And all students will be surrounded by passionate, caring and skilled teachers (see #2 below). 2. Creating CONFIDENT teachers - Script reviews and teaching practice First and foremost - we will have a chance to practice and perfect the teaching scripts in small, supportive groups. I have come to realize that just because people have my DVD's and the on-line manuals, and they can do the moves - there is no guarantee that they can teach. These scripts will create a massive jump in your personal skills, and in your ability to relay those skills to students. So we will have fun with the scripts and you will leave with more confidence than ever.
Of course, you will learn the basics, and there will be lots of time for individual coaching. 3. Additional time with Advanced Students We will create time to work with those students who are ready to move to a higher skill level.
November 14 - Sunday afternoon - Easy Tai Chi CORE
- learn and practice Easy Tai Chi CORE This optional afternoon is an additional $49 as an extension to the weekend, or $99 as a solo afternoon. This afternoon will be devoted to learning/improving your CORE practice. It is advisable to be somewhat familiar with Easy Tai Chi CORE, so pull out your DVD and start playing with these terrific moves.
November 15 - all day Monday - NEW Easy Tai Chi FLOW This optional day is an additional $99 as an extension to the weekend, or $159 as a solo day
You will love this new form - the moves are gorgeous. I can't wait to show you. Today will be dedicated to teaching these moves, increasing skill level and working on maximizing benefits. While the focus is on FLOW, everything you learn will increase your overall understanding and skill level.

Where?
Sunny Palm Springs, California
Why Palm Springs?
1. Easy to get to from most areas (and this is off season so flights may be cheaper)
2. Usually good - great weather
3. We have not offered this Symposium in the West since 2006. The enthusiasm of the East coast folks has kept us going in that direction.
We have specially priced rooms held at:
Palm Springs City Center Holiday Inn
1800 E. Palm Canyon Dr.
Palm Springs, CA 92264
760-323-1711 Ext. 424
Visit www.hipalmsprings.com
Our special room rate is under $99 per night. To receive the group rate, book early and ask for the "Easy Tai Chi" rate.
Why the Holiday Inn?
1.
Free airport shuttle. (This means no need to rent a car!!!)
2. Outdoor training areas (if desired, weather permitting)
3. Free
shuttle downtown (where all the action is)
4.. Low season room rates of about $99/night
5. A terrific deal on golf - breakfast AND lunch, golf, cart, clubs and a sleeve of ProV's - at Taquitz Canyon at significantly reduced rate
Extracurricular activities
1. We will try to arrange a shuttle to the Thursday night market to allow a visit of 2-3 hours before the "meet and greet". It's a marvelous market.
2. For those interested in golfing, we will set a day either before or after the Symposium for our first ever Easy Tai Chi golf day.
3. There are a plethora of other possible activities including concerts, casinos, shopping, hiking, golfing at 120+ courses, hanging around the pool, and I may be able to find us coupons for eating well at a reasonable price.
Comments from past sessions
"The program was informative, inspirational and intoxicating... The in-depth teaching that takes place cannot be obtained by reviewing the DVD. The atmosphere created by Keith, advanced teachers and students opened up my capacity for self awareness; a special gift I will always keep close to my heart."
"If you want to teach, come to the training. It is invaluable. The one on one and small-group experiences help to improve upon the skills you already have. There's so much more than the DVD alone can offer. It is definitely worth the price."
"After attending five Symposiums, I received a lot of knowledge that I would otherwise missed. This Symposium helped me achieve a better understanding of what I am teaching and a new outlook towards tai chi."
"My knowledge of tai chi just doubled and made me even more excited about teaching. I firmly believe that all those who want to teach and perfect their tai chi should attend."
"Very worth the time and effort. Life-changing. The possibilities are endless"
"The enthusiasm generated was so contagious. I was able to learn more tai chi in this seminar than in nine weeks of study."
"If you want to feel great inside and out, attend Dr. Jeffery's program. Thank you!!!"
"Attending will enhance your performance beyond any other tai chi training on the market today"
As a life long martial arts professional, I must say this was the best seminar I have ever attended!"
"After years of martial arts and tai chi seminars, this was the most helpful. The level of detail for each movement was great. It was refreshing to cover the fundamentals in such depth."
"I learned more in one weekend about tai chi than in the last 10 years of practice."
