Embrace The Moon welcomes back Master Jan Silberstorff! This year we dive deep into the interrelationship of the Chan Si Gong (Silk Reeling) patterns within the Laojia Yilu. Chan Si Gong is the warp and the weave of all of Chen Taijiquan so this is an absolute must for serious practitioners of the art. Beginners will be fascinated and set on the right course from the onset. Our workshop will include analysis, pattern and form instruction and correction. The goal is not to get through the entire form, but to deeply understand the material.

Special additions to the main workshop include a Push Hands capsule and an evening online lecture on on Taoism.
