Welcome
CAFAM Events
Come join CAFAM for Tai Chi at the Farmers Market on Saturdays and starting on JUNE 16th!
Tai chi is a mind-body exercise that is simultaneously easy to begin and near-impossible to perfect. All ages and experience levels are welcome.
Tai Chi at the Farmers Market is an introduction to a longstanding Chinese practice of community-building and personal wellness that prioritizes showing up and practicing over performance. It’s also a great way to make new friends and meet new neighbors.
WHEN: 9am-10am every Saturday June – August
WHERE: By the rose garden at Deering Oaks Park during the Farmers’ Market.
COST: Free – donations welcome!
Professional Tai Chi instructor Karen Morency is great at bringing folks in after a lesson has begun, so don’t be afraid to jump in if you’re running late!
