      TAI CHI FOR HEALTH & RELAXATION with Larry Cammarata, Ph.D.

Tai Chi Chuan, popularly referred to as Tai Chi, is an ancient Chinese system of
meditative movement, healing exercise, and self-defense. The slow flowing movements of
Tai Chi promote relaxation, balance, calmness, and patience. The practice of Tai Chi can
strengthen your joints, tendons, and ligaments while supporting cardiovascular health.

Simplified Tai Chi Form 24 is regarded as the most popular routine practiced in the world
today.  It is a short form that is primarily based upon the traditional Yang Family style of
Tai Chi Chuan.  This form provides an excellent foundation for beginners who may later
wish to learn the traditional Yang style long form, while also serving as an excellent
review form for those who have studied Tai Chi in the past.

Class Time: Fridays at 11:00 am to 12:00 noon
Location: Upstairs at French Broad Co-op, 90 Biltmore Avenue, Asheville NC
Class Cost: $10

The Organic Growers School announces the second annual True Nature Country Fair, a
celebration of life in connection with the Earth, to be held September 26-28, 2008 at
Deerfields in Mills River, North Carolina. The farmers, homebuilders, craftspeople,
restaurateurs, social and political activists and alternative health care practitioners of the
southern Appalachians are invited to join their neighbors for a celebration of life lived in
connection and harmony with the Earth.  The True Nature Country Fair will feature vendors
of local, organic, and sustainable products and resources from throughout the Southeast,
workshops on all facets of sustainable living, a children’s program and live music, all in a
pristine mountain setting.  
The focus on local, organic and sustainable will mean that everything featured at this Fair
will be from the southern Appalachian region and will be produced from resources that are
at least 50% organic and/or sustainable.  The exhibit areas will include a farmers market,
energy and shelter, health and healing, low impact forestry, social and political action, and
crafts.  The education component will include workshops on gardening, farming,
homesteading, and forestry plus nature walks, a children’s program, and small livestock
displays.   

A weekend-long event, the daily entrance fees are $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 3-12,
free for children 2 years and younger.

The True Nature Country Fair is currently seeking interested food vendors, exhibitors,
sponsors, musicians and volunteers. Businesses and organizations interested in
