LaoMa remembered

We celebrated the Ox New Year this past weekend with our sister school, Magic Tortoise and it was great! Although, we were unable to celebrate in person, we were very happy to enjoy the vibrant spirit of gathering together each year.

At the party, we shared a video remembrance of our teacher and very dear friend. It is with such great joy and sorrow we’re able to share it now. There is great joy in seeing LaoMa in younger days and in more recent days. What a pleasure to see him moving and laughing with us again. And what sorrow in our hearts feeling that space so open and empty now.

Please indulge us in this remembrance of our cherished friend. We have leaned on the words of his close friend and taiji brother, Dr. Jay, as well as one of his Senior Students and friend Debra Dean. You’ll hear Violet’s voice speak Debra’s words. Dr. Jay voices his own remembrances.
