Special Events

Tai Chi Vermont takes part in a variety of events throughout the year. Teachers staff tables at senior events across the state, sharing information about classes and the benefits of tai chi. The photo above is from Senior Solutions’ Aging Successfully Fair in Ludlow, June 2025, where teachers Sue Rubel and Kathy Tracy led a run through of the tai chi fundamentals.

September is "Fall Prevention Awareness Month," when many senior centers host balance assessments—physical therapists check attendees’ balance with three simple tests—and we introduce tai chi to groups in an effort to spread the word about the practice and our organization. We hope you will organize an event for this special month, perhaps working with physical therapists in your area who can offer balance assessments to event participants. Or perhaps you’ll have a special class and invite area residents to try out tai chi as a fall prevention strategy. Whatever your plans, please email them to Anne, and she will collate our offerings into a press release to send to area newspapers.

Each year we celebrate all things tai chi and qigong on the last Saturday of April, joining tens of thousands around the globe for World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. Typically the actual practices take place between 10 and 11 a.m. in every time zone. And for Lunar New Year (Jan-Feb) many of us host parties and introduce new tai chi & qigong practices to our area.
