Workshops in Sweden

I have been asked to teach partnerwork and push hands in Gothenburg, Sweden, this year. I visited in December as a tourist. I met some lovely T'ai Chi players who were very taken with our approach as well as with salutations, sticking and the simple principles (sinking, turning, relaxing, upright posture, etc). Last night Mithila, a yogini and student of Jonathan Monks said she and a T'ai Chi teacher friend Anna, whom I had met, would like to organise a workshop soon. Whether this will be a one-off or a regular event, we will see. However, I am already looking forward to going back, as my first taste of the country and its people has left me eager to return. Also, the weather is really similar to Aberdeenshire, if a little colder at times. A few Gothenburg folks said apologetically that it is often fresh, grey or a bit rainy, but I felt quite at home, having lived happily in Aberdeenshire for 5 years.
