Our Mission World Tai Chi & Qigong Day (WTCQD) educates millions worldwide about Tai Chi & Qigong's benefits, how to find local classes, how to get the most from those classes, and we consult health care, corporate, government and educational institutions about integrating these health tools into society at all levels. WTCQD also facilitates an unprecedented annual global health education event, that has captured the world's imagaination. WTCQD's annual event is both moving and inspiring, as people from over 65 nations in hundreds of cities, and all 50 US States, come together to wrap the world, in a global Tai Chi and Qigong movement. Our primary mission is personal and global health & healing. We work toward this goal by educating millions of the emerging medical research on Tai Chi and Chi Kung, explaining the nuances of Tai Chi & Chi Kung in plain language, and connecting people with local teachers. We have connected a half million viewers with Tai Chi and Chi Kung teacher's local contact information worldwide via WorldTaiChiDay.org. We also provide free resources to help new Tai Chi and Chi Kung students to get the most from their local classes, while empowering teachers with helpful tools to educate their local populations, and make their job both easier and more effective. Whether you are new to Tai Chi and Chi Kung, an avid enthusiast practitioner, or a teacher/master, World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has resources to help you. We help teachers to grow their classes by helping them to educate local media, business, healthcare, and educational institutions about the wonders of Tai Chi and Chi Kung . . . Providing useful tips for teachers on approaching institutions, and approaches to teaching children, learning disabled, corporate staffs, drug and penal rehabilitation clients, and others in appropriate, tangible, and effective ways.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day, with the help of local schools, groups, and associations in 65 nations, organizes a global healing wave of mass Tai Chi & Chi Kung (Qigong) exhibitions in hundreds of cities in 65 nations spanning 6 continents, held each year on the last Saturday of April. (View the above and below videos.)

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has presented for the National Parkinson's Foundation National Conference; the ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Association; Nursing Programs for Fibromyalgia Health Workers, and has consulted for major corporations; the National Council on the Aging; and helped produce an introductory Tai Chi & Qigong DVD now available through physicians nationally at no charge to patients.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day has been a Tai Chi source for The New York Times; The Wall Street Journal; BBC World Radio; The South China Morning Post; USA Weekend; Parade Magazine; Reader's Digest, and over 100 media worldwide.

World Tai Chi & Qigong Day's global efforts to encourage education, government, business, and health care to incorporate Tai Chi & Qigong into all levels of society . . . have profound global implications.

In the US alone our annual health costs will exceed $4 billion each year at current trends.

When stress is causing 85% of illness according to medical research, the savings of educating our citizens in the powerful ancient mind/body sciences of Tai Chi & Qigong is a natural step for nations worldwide.
