Daelinar, co-founder of Dancing Tao Tai Chi, and I recorded this video to demonstrate how a Tai Chi warrior attunes to deeper layers of unity when conflict arises. We introduce foundational practices such as grounding, yielding, and transforming—core Tai Chi principles that offer a path through tension and discord.
Rooted in Taoist philosophy, Tai Chi is more than a movement practice; it is an embodied way of peace-making. Its essence permeates any effort that seeks to bridge divides and harmonize polarities.
Here in Bellingham, where my partner Joe and I live, we’ve joined with several colleagues in an initiative to build bridges across the political spectrum, a different kind of “Tai Chi”, Tai Chi in the metaphysical realm.
In a time marked by deep division, we’re exploring something simple yet bold: meeting across our differences not through debate or persuasion, but through listening, speaking honestly, and staying connected.
If you are curious, you are welcome to check out our effort here: meeting.asweare.us
