“Tree of Life” Tai Chi with Robin… in the Garden!

Thursday, July 13, 2023
4:00 pm – 5:00  pm

“Etz Chaim,” or “Tree of Life,” is the name of the historic synagogue that houses the Maine Jewish Museum. And “Tree of Life” Tai Chi is all about gentle movement that enhances our vital energy. Robin Brooks, an experienced tai chi and qigong instructor, will introduce the fundamentals of tai chi and how, by simply adjusting posture, breath, and mental attitude, we can nurture our well-being. We will explore our roots, trunks, and branches as we connect with the Tree of Life and the energy of nature in the magnificent Museum garden.
