Master Joseph brings a wonderful combination of cultural knowledge and engaging instruction to this workshop, making it a meaningful and enjoyable way for communities to welcome the new year."
The workshop is led by Master Joseph Cheung, Age Well Recreation's Tai Chi and Qigong instructor. Joseph holds a master's degree in East Asian Studies and is a current instructor and former Director of the Physical Arts Program at the New York College of Health Professions. His background brings together a deep understanding of Chinese cultural traditions with extensive experience in the physical arts.
Participants discover the history and customs of Chinese New Year, including the Year of the Goat, followed by an introduction to Tai Chi and Qigong with a guided movement experience. The workshop also features an interactive Community Wishing Tree project, inspired by Hong Kong's Lam Tsuen tradition, and an opportunity for questions and discussion with Master Joseph.
Together, these experiences create a memorable celebration of cultural discovery, shared learning, and community connection.
Communities may also choose to incorporate the workshop into a larger Chinese New Year-themed celebration, alongside their own festive food, art activities, or cultural entertainment.
The introduction of this workshop reflects Age Well Recreation's continued commitment to offering thoughtfully designed experiences that engage the mind, body, and spirit while celebrating the diverse interests and traditions of the older adults it serves.
"Chinese New Year is a time of renewal, reflection, and sharing good wishes for the year ahead. I'm looking forward to introducing participants to these traditions and creating an experience that brings learning, movement, and celebration together."
