International Taijiquan Day Retreat

  Rooted Stillness: A Weekend of Taichi & Mindfulness
📍 Bradford Woods, Martinsville, IN
📅 March 20–22, 2026 (Friday 4PM – Sunday 4PM)
👥 Limited to 35 participants

 On November 5, 2025, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially declared March 21 as International Taijiquan Day, honoring Taijiquan (Taichi) as a practice of balance, harmony, and peace.

This decision, initiated by China and unanimously supported by all member states, affirms Taichi’s significance as a living cultural treasure. Practiced across generations and continents, Taichi is recognized not only as a form of mindful movement, but also as a path to intercultural understanding, social inclusion, and human well-being.

March 21, the Spring Equinox, was chosen to reflect Taichi’s essence: the equilibrium of yin and yang, stillness and motion, humanity and nature.

Mindful Taichi Co welcomes you to join this historic celebration through a weekend retreat designed for deep rest, mindful movement, and cultural reflection. Whether you're new to Taichi or have practiced for years, this space is open to all.

• 2 nights of shared lodging in peaceful forest cabins
• 6 nourishing, community meals (vegetarian & dietary needs accommodated)
• 3 invited talks 
• Daily Taichi (Taijiquan) and mindfulness sessions

• Time for mindful walks, journaling, and connection to self and nature
