Meet the Host & Coordinator for this Training:
This is our home turf, so we're hosting this one! Deb lives in Portland ME, and Dylan in nearby Freeport
In fact, the Maine Center for Taijiquan & Qigong has served us beautifully as an UZAZU lab space for our collaborative development of UZAZU. After 3 years of offering this Foundations training only online, we are delighted to start our return to in-person training here in our local community, and we look forward to welcoming people to our home playing ground.
Don't hesitate to reach out to deb at deb.grant@uzazu.org if you have any questions.
