Dockens III Tollare folkhögskola Andra veckan efter midsommar (v 27) 2 - 7 juli 2012 Lägret börjar på måndagen med incheckning från kl 09:00 och lunch kl 12:00. Kl 14:00 sätter vi igång med träningen. Lägret slutar på lördagen med lunch kl 12:00 Mer info om sommarlägret kommer. Förra sommarlägrets tema: The saber, your Tao and the I Ching Accessing the essence at will is a turning point in a T’ai Chi Chuan student’s life. Your essence is your psychological center of gravity allowing you to balance your intuitive reasoning with your deepest emotions. So, after you use the logic of the I Ching to discover how to access your essence a crisis may occur when you ask yourself, what next? Since T’ai Chi Chuan, not just T’ai Chi, is our solution to following the Tao, regardless of how you reach a conclusion, you according to the Tao and the Tao according to you are different aspects of the same thing. At Tai Chi summer camp, you have the time and the opportunity to develop and practice, undistracted, your understanding of the Tao. This summer we will use the Saber and the fable of Liu Da’s horse to show how the I Ching aids in making “sagelike” decisions. When you can defend the essence you have learned to access, you are free to follow your Tao. Nevertheless, what you know about your present and what you understand about your future can differ radically during a crisis. You will at least better understand why T’ai Chi Chuan is our key to how the Grand Ultimate frames our psychological self-defense. Suggested reading: Students who would like to start with a simple introduction might find : Liu Da´s books: ”T’ai Chi Ch’uan and I Ching” and ”I Ching Coin Prediction” useful. Advanced students and beginners who want a deeper understanding might prefer Alfred Huangs books: ”The Complete I Ching” and ”The Numerology of the I Ching”. /Bill Fotot är taget av Anders Mårsén
