Please join me in extending a global congratulations to our newest School of Healing Martial Arts Certified Graduate, @Luciana Gassi! 🇮🇹✨ This past weekend was incredible with high energy and amazing people from all over Europe in attendance. We started with the final test on Friday, followed by the Tai Chi Master class on Saturday. The day before our big event, Luciana and I met at the stunning, world-famous cliffs and shores of Polignano a Mare in Puglia for her official, in-person practical examination. Moving through the forms with the Adriatic Sea as her backdrop, she demonstrated beautiful alignment, deep grounding, and a true command of the internal arts. The next day, she was officially presented with her credentials as a certified SOHMA Tai Chi Instructor in Bari, Italy, right at the conclusion of the Master Class seminar hosted by Kairopia! Luciana, watching your journey culminate in such a beautiful setting was an honor. Your commitment to the art, your dedication to embodying these healing principles, and your love of sharing as a masterful community organizer shine through. You already are an incredible practitioner and instructor for your students in France, Italy, and beyond. Welcome to the graduate circle, Instructor Luciana! We are all proud of you. Let's leave some love and congratulations for Luciana in the comments below! 👇🎉
