The Galena Center for the Arts will become part of a global wave of events during World Tai Chi & QiGong Day.
Beginning in New Zealand, the event will spread time zone by time zone across the world at hundreds of cities in over 70 countries across six continents. This wave of free and public events is intended to bring new and long-time tai chi players together while promoting calm and wellness worldwide.
Known as moving meditation, Tai Chi and QiGong are practices that have evolved over several thousand years of research.
Galena-based instructor Amy Alderman will lead a gentle qigong and simplified tai chi form, which will be free and open to the public.
After, more local tai chi players may share what they have learned during their years of practice.

Enjoy a full sensory honey tasting and educational experience, as you taste light, medium, and dark colored honeys as well as creamed, crystallized, and direct from the comb honey. Engage all of your senses as you use a flavor wheel to identify the aromas and flavors you experience as you taste each honey. Each attendee will make honey tasting notes and will compare as they go along. At the end of the tasting, each attendee will receive a glass of honey mead wine to further enjoy honey in another delightful way.
