Freethinker's Forum: A HUUmanist Discussion Group
​Second Sundays at noon MT​. Find out more on the Santa Fe Freethinkers Meetup page. We begin our gatherings with a short presentation on a topic of interest to the group, followed by open discussion of the topic. The presentation may consist of a speaker, a panel, a TED talk, a film clip or another format suggested by the ingenuity of the participants.

Do you ever wonder how we humans got here, what life is all about and how we can best live together with our fellow inhabitants of the cosmos? Humanism "strives to promote and extend the use of rational inquiry without supernatural considerations, followed by compassionate action in all human interactions." If this sounds like you, please join us!

​T’ai Chi Chih, “Joy Through Movement"

Wu Wei. No Effort.
T'ai Chi Chih—Online​.
Weekly Tuesdays, 10 am, online and in-person. Led by certified T'ai Chi Chih instructor, Jim Eagle.

T’ai Chi Chih consists of nineteen movements and one pose intended to generate, circulate and balance the body’s life energy, which the Chinese call Chi. It is a modern movement form with roots in the Qi Gong and T’ai Chi Chuan traditions. A goal of this class is to develop the ability to move through the T’ai Chi Chih forms with a focused awareness and with minimal physical effort. This takes practice, but T’ai Chi Chih practitioners have reported improvements in balance, flexibility, strength, plus a deeper sense of well-being.
