On Growth and Growing
For most of the US, May signals nature's green light for planting and gardening. Especially after a cold, dreary winter, seeing the beautiful colors of a garden come to life really does lift the spirit!
Gardeners know success and growth comes through many careful steps. A healthy foundation must be established in the soil, followed by planting, weeding, watering, nourishing, nurturing...etc, etc.This same dedication to growth also happens here at Healer Within Foundation!
You may have noticed the "gardeners" of the Healer Within Foundation - our leadership, volunteers, trainers and Tai Chi Easy™ Community Practice Leaders - have grown the reach and accessibility of self-care in amazing ways over the past few years.The consistent effort and dedication of many people have increased the trainings and practice groups and reached more people this year. Supporting more events and practice groups means there is more to do! We are excited to announce our annual fundraising season has begun!
See the article below for specifics on how your gift can help take the Tai Chi Easy™ Dissemination Project to the next level of growth.
Help us
plant more community practice groups,
weed out disease and stress,
nurture new practice leaders and
nourish communities with the benefits of Tai Chi Easy™!
We welcome you to join us as we continue to see self-healing practices blossom around the world.
Be well,
Your friends at the Healer Within Foundation

2018 Fundraising Campaign
We’re striving to advance the Tai Chi Easy™ Dissemination Project
and need your support! Please donate now through the Autumn Equinox (September 23, 2018) to help as we continue to grow!
Did you know?
- We’ve increased the number of Tai Chi Easy™ Practice Leader Trainings from five events in 2016, to 10 in 2017. More than 20 training events are anticipated for 2018! Each training event generates an average of 18 new Tai Chi Easy™ Practice Leaders, who learn self-care practices for themselves and then go on to lead others in their local communities.
- Our Tai Chi Easy™ Practice Leader Trainings have been approved for 21 CE hours through the American Holistic Nurses Association. Nurses are learning Tai Chi Easy™ and taking the practice back to their patients, co-workers and medical campuses.
- Tai Chi Easy™ Practice Leader training events are happening across the US and India, and our first European training this June in Northern Ireland!
The Tai Chi Easy™ Dissemination Project is the catalyst of our goal, “Training thousands to improve the health of millions.”
Your support makes it possible for the Healer Within Foundation to bring community-based Qigong/Tai Chi and other self-healing body-mind-spirit-practices to greater numbers of people. Please donate today. Thank you!

Many Tai Chi Easy™ Practice Leaders organized and led events in their communities, such as Marcia Schrotenboer (shown below holding singing bowl with attendees of her WTCQD event).
