Come and join Sylvia in her gong bath sound meditation, this ancient therapy is always here. Waiting at the edges of our work, should you wish to meet it.

Sylvia is a trauma-informed clinical counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner who integrates evidence-based talk therapy, somatic work, breathwork, and gong bath sound meditation to guide individuals and couples from survival to wholeness. Her specialty is working with clients to awaken their innate capacity for healing and build a more fulfilling life after trauma. She creatively adopts sound therapy to support autonomic nervous systems to return to the zone of regulations and runs regular mindfulness gong bath sound meditation sessions for the community. The gong's voice is older than time - a resonance that hums through bone and breath, weaving the body back to stillness. Sylvia learned this alchemy from Don Conreaux, the Grand Gong Master of modern sound therapy, who taught her; sound is the language the nervous system speaks first. In its shimmering waves, the body remembers what words cannot touch. Trauma loosens its grip. The mind grows quiet as a forest at dawn. Here, healing is not done to you, but through you - a homecoming orchestrated by vibration's golden hands. Some truths are too deep for sentences. The gong knows this. It sings the parts of us we've forgotten to listen for.

Set 1: Kung Fu Fan

Kung Fu fan first form has 52 steps. This is a dynamic and enjoyable fan form that incorporates wide range of movements from traditional Chinese kungfu, as well as movements from non-martial sources. The rhythm of the fan plus the distinctively motivating, energising music makes this routine both powerful and captivating.

Set 2: My Homeland

Second performance is My Motherland 13-style which has a set of health-preserving boxing stances suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. The music and movements are soft and relaxing at the same time exhibiting a degree of Taiji culture.

Set 3: Ningbo 18-form

First performance is Ningbo 18-form which was created by Mr. Cai Tianbiao, Chairman of Ningbo Wushu Association. The movements are soft and firm, coherent and even, with a sense of rigidity.

Set 4: Tai Chi Double Fan

The fan is an effective weapon.  When you are practicing double fan, you feel as if you were dancing and moving with grace and fluidity. By combining the softness of the silk and the strength of the bamboo, taiji fan exemplifies inward calmness and outward power, a perfect combination of yin and yang. With constant practice, the movements improve posture, muscle tone, flexibility, coordination, balance, focus, mobility with hands/fingers and wrists.

Tai chi is a combination of slow flowing movements coupled with meditative breathing which enhances physical as well as mental well-being. It is excellent for balance and promotes a philosophy of healthy living!

To master these principles we have sets/routines which we have to learn by heart and this is a slow process. Not just to learn them but we have to perform these sets well enough in order to get the maximum benefits. Tai chi is not easy to master but what we do in class and all the practices after class definitely help one to refine on the skills learnt.

MOSAIC Tai Chi is a leisure group. There are 2 classes- beginners and intermediate. Our instructor Ms Ma also has a group of followers that practice on top of the library. These followers comprise of current and ex-students plus anything in between.

The classes are on Mondays for intermediate and Fridays for beginners. Ms Ma is a very dedicated and passionate teacher and teaches these 2 classes well. She leads the group who meet on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays and occasionally she might teach them. MOSAIC Tai Chi wants to promote Tai chi to the wider community and population so please join us for StreetFair !
