This year we celebrated World Tai Chi and Qigong Day in the natural treed setting of Ruffey Lake Park, in mild autumn weather, with wattles beaming upon us from the gentle hill behind Senior Master Chin Min. We enjoyed some new (to us) Qigong sequences before moving onto the Tai Chi form and some very clear instruction and explanation of parts of Level 2. As the session ended, a large flock of white cockatoos showed their appreciation with raucous applause, which became subdued as they settled to enjoy the offerings of the park. We were also treated with delicious offerings prepared by Zenaida - tasty spicy savouries, cakes, shortbreads and teas.
Ruffey Lake Park in Doncaster is a delightful setting with an adventure playground for children, a lake and several walking tracks. It is most certainly worth visiting.
