Programme 2025 – How The Week Will Work

Tai Chi Caledonia offers a range of options for attending, making it accessible to all, from beginner to adept. You can join us on a day, weekend, whole or part week basis, residential or non-residential.

The Weekend Sessions

Our programme starts on Saturday morning at 9:00 with a brief introductory meeting in the Main Marquee rather than the lecture theatre where we have met in the past.  The weekend sessions include choices of 48 x 45 minute sessions allowing you to get a taste of a variety of approaches to Tai Chi & Chinese internal arts.  Your teachers will provide you with more detail of their weekend sessions at this Saturday morning meeting.

The Week-long Sessions

From Monday – Thursday you will train 2.5 hours each morning and afternoon, over the four days allowing 10 hours intensive training, each morning and afternoon, working on 2 separate disciplines (1 each from A and B) for 5 hours per day in total.

Breakfast Baguazhang Wakeup

Tai Chi Caledonia welcomes the return of the ever-popular wakeup session based on Baguazhang principles from 7.30 – 9.30 each morning, starting on Sunday.

Start your day the energetic way with the ever inspiring Sergio Uzzo and Simona Longeri.

Early Morning Qigong

For those not as energetic as Sergio and Simona at that time in the morning, or who just need a bit more sleep, there will be qigong sessions each morning from 8.30 – 9.30 on Sunday onwards.

These will be led by a different teacher each day.

Tui Shou

After dinner every night there will be the opportunity to improve your push hands skills in a non-competitive situation.

While experienced pushers engage in free pushing, there will be a short, separate introductory instruction period for those inexperienced in this discipline, before they join the others. After last year’s feedback we are changing the format of this session. First, the instruction will be only for the inexperienced! Second, it will be taken by the same teacher every evening, Severin Berz. This should allow participants’ knowledge to accumulate and allow Severin to address any points that arise.
