the t’ai chi room Book Club, 5 March 2025

We will be discussing The Secret of the Golden Flower on Wednesday, 5 March 2025,  7.15pm - 8pm.

This will be a light look at this commentary/ distillation of the ancient spiritual classic. The book aims to free the mind from arbitrary and unnecessary limitations… From the Introduction –

“Gold stands for light, the light of the mind itself; the flower represents the blossoming, or opening up, of the light of the mind. Thus the expression is emblematic of the basic awakening of the real self and its hidden potential.”

As always with our t’ai chi room Book Club, we will view the book through the lens of our T’ai Chi practice. Touching just on some key points so that we can find tips, perspectives, meaning, understanding etc. to inform & improve our practice.

How to register interest?

Please send me an email with the subject heading Yes! Please sign me up to Book Club.

You will receive an invitation to join a Book Club WhatsApp group, where I will share meeting links, future dates and book titles.

Is this open to anyone?

I’m running this book club for students only, as it’s part of my offering to those I am teaching.

How often will the tai chi room Book Club run?

I’m looking to establish a broad pattern of meeting in the first week following half term. This gives students the half-term week to finish reading our chosen book just before we discuss it. So running three meetings per year (by term).

I hope you decide to join us; it’s a great way for you to deepen your learning.
