World Tai Chi Day
“ONE WORLD ~ ONE BREATH” www.worldtaichiday.org
On the last Saturday of April each year at 10 am, beginning in the Earth’s earliest time zone, a peaceful soothing event will unfold as it blooms around the Earth throughout the entire day–time zone by time zone. Gently and effortlessly the world will breathe together in a Tai Chi & Qigong relay of calm.

“Wrapping our precious planet in a wave of healing consciousness, of energy or Qi. Each year this image of people coming together across racial, ethnic, religious, and geopolitical boundaries . . . to breathe together . . . is a powerful vision of our world’s future.
By introducing a consciousness of calm, healing, and connection, and surrounding our planet with it year after year, we may in some imperceptible and delicate way help move our species’ future toward global connection and the empathy and compassion that this awareness cultivates.” (Bill Douglas, founder of World Tai Chi Day)
On this day we can become one with tens of thousands in hundreds of cities in over 70 nations where World Tai Chi & Qigong Day and World Healing Day events are being held
Thank you for your part in making this spectacular global event successful. We look forward to being a part of this wave of global Qi as it passes through our time zone.
There are 4 purposes for staging this historic event:-
- To educate the world to the profound implications Tai Chi & Qigong can offer our personal, social and world health.
- To thank Chinese culture for providing this powerful health science to the world.
- To improve world relations by joining Tai Chi & Qigong practitioners around the world on this World Tai Chi & Qigong Day, to promote and celebrate a healthier world.
- To provide a mighty example of how the emerging power of the Internet can be used to promote world cooperation and health, since most of the organising of this event is done via the Internet through the web page www.worldtaichiday.org Playing Tai Chi & Qigong is about personal empowerment and the internet is a powerful enabler.
When co-presenting at the International Tai Chi Symposium in Nashville USA, Bill said “Rod has pioneered working with state and local governments to expand Tai Chi extensively into Australian senior and health care. He’s created a model that can be emulated worldwide”.
