Movement and Meditation Marquee

Immediate Objectives

Establish connections – creating time and space to share ideas, build relationships and explore future collaborations.

Aims and Objectives

  • Discuss festival, funding and local community opportunities for movement teachers.
  • Develop a meeting point where practitioners can gather, collaborate, and explore wider community wellbeing initiatives
  • Create an online ‘Headquarters’ to relieve teachers of admin time
  • Provide a practical space at festivals for rest, reset, and participation
  • Open to all
  • Link interested people to teachers and groups in their local areas
  • Support local classes and other community events with funds raised through CIC

Longer-Term Development

Develop the Movement Marquee beyond just the tai chi that I can provide and incorporate other arts and disciplines.

And to develop beyond just the festival environment, connecting interested people with approved teachers in their local areas and helping carry some of the spirit of the gatherings back into everyday life.
