Masks will be required indoors in communal spaces. \nAll attendees will need to show proof of vaccination to attend this event\, as well as a negative Covid-19 test result conducted within 72 hours before arrival at DeKoven. Several of our teachers are immunocompromised\, so requiring these two precautions is what will allow us to have an in-person event this year.

If you have a medical exemption from vaccination\, you can attend by providing only the negative test result. \nCommuter Options: \nWe encourage everyone attending the Retreat to lodge at the DeKoven Center\, as this allows the most time for informal connection with our tai chi community. If this isn’t an option for you\, though\, and if you live in the area\, you can attend the workshop portions of the Retreat as a commuter. If you are interested in attending as a commuter\, please contact us to make arrangements. (This option is not available through the online registration system.)

Given the ongoing circumstance\, this year we offer 6 or 12 contact-hour options through virtual training. This is an ideal opportunity to fulfill requirements for keeping your certification current\, or for applying to renew lapsed recertification. Attend our entire 12-hour Instructor Retreat to keep your certification current for two years. Or you can attend the 6-hour Saturday option and take a virtual Intensive at another time. We hope these options help you sustain your study and your practice and let you connect with our tai chi community. In 2022 we plan to resume our in-person retreats to ensure everyone receives the best training possible. \n\n\nLate Fees & Refunds \n\nThe deadline to register is April 30\, after which a $30 late fee will apply. Full refunds are available through May 10\, 2021\, less a $40 administrative fee. No refunds after May 10. \n\n\nSchedule & Registration \nClick the file below to download and print a PDF containing details of the 2021 retreat: \nTCF Certified Instructors Retreat flyer 2021 \n\nRegistration for this event is now closed.
