34th Annual Zhang San Feng Festival

张三丰 Zhang San Feng

The 34th annual Zhang San Feng Festival will be held June 4th-7th, 2009 at the Nevele Grande Resort in the Catskills region of New York. Named for the mythical Daoist hermit regarded by many as the founder of tai chi (太极拳 tai ji quan), the annual Zhang San Feng Festival is a time honored event begun by the late tai chi Grandmaster Jou Tsung Hwa, and held for many years at his legendary 103-acre Tai Chi Farm.

In recent years the Festival has evolved into a world class event which brings together some of the best and brightest teachers and authors in tai chi, qigong and the related arts, to teach three days of incredible and informative workshops. Each night also includes exciting evening activities. This event will be a treasure trove of opportunity for all interested in Tai Chi & Qigong, from beginners to advanced.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day founder, Bill Douglas, will be delivering this year's keynote address at the Festival on Friday evening, June 5th. Bill will also be adding his unique energies to the event by joining the other master instructors in teaching a few workshops throughout the weekend. WTCQD will have a table at the conference as well, where Bill will demonstrate his Sitting Qigong.
