2008 Summer Event and Gathering

The 2008 COIAA Summer event was a potluck picnic with group participation events held on Sunday, July 13 from noon - 3 PM at beautiful Shevlin Park in Bend Oregon. The event was attended by about 14 internal arts students, teachers, spouses, children and interested parties. The following schedule was strictly adhered to so we could finish on time:

Noon - 1:00    Meet, greet and eat

1:00 - 1:30    How I Got Started in Qigong by Joyce Burke Brown

1:30 - 2:00    How I Got Started in Tai Chi and Demonstration of Cheng Man-Ching Short Form by Paul Benton

2:00 - 2:30   How I Got Started in Qigong and Demonstration of Jade Woman Qigong by Sandra Curry, L. Ac

2:30 - 3:00   Push Hands Partner Exercises by Chris Matthews

The day was warm and sunny all afternoon. For awhile it looked like the social gathering would steal the day, but the group sessions were well attended and it appeared that people enjoyed themselves while learning something a little bit new. Enjoy the pictures!
