June is LGBTQ+ Pride month (in many places). In past years, I lingered around the margins of Pride celebrations as I moved from place to place. This year, it seems I am actively participating. My calendar is filled with a range of activities supporting a variety of organizations and events.
- Meetings with the City of Seattle LGBT Commission.
- Marching with the Commission at the annual Pride Parade.
- Singing (and speaking) at a benefit concert for the Trevor Project, presented at the Seattle First Baptist Church.
My Tai Chi/Qigong teaching continues and participants keep coming back. However, it’s becoming clear I need to devote some attention to more skill-building, both for myself and my students. Time to conquer the fourth and fifth phases of the Shibashi series. My group now happily alternates Sets 1, 2, and 3 (54 form) along with Baduanjin (Eight Brocades) and Long White Cloud Qigong.
