It emphasizes complete relaxation and is essentially a form of “meditation in motion.” These classes are suitable for both beginning and experienced students. Denise McIntyre-Workman has been practicing Tai Chi since 2001, began teaching in 2003, and in 2005 received an instructor certification from the United States Martial Artist Association. One of the things that drew her to Tai Chi is its history of passing on the skills learned from a Sifu (teacher) to the beginner. Denise encourages more advanced students to help the beginners in her classes and to develop the skill and confidence to lead a class on their own. She says the most gratifying part of teaching Tai Chi is the ability to share it with others. Suggested Donation to UUCF: $40 for Session A/$45 Session B Minimum: 4; Maximum: 8 For More Information: Contact the class leader/facilitator by sending an email to enrichment@frederickuu.org (be sure to indicate “Tai Chi” in the subject line of your email).

Photo Safari Patricia Cronin and Andy Celmer Sunday, July 13, 11:45-4:30 PM (approximate) and Sunday, July 20, 11:45-1:15 PM Course Description: Enthusiastic amateur photographers Andy Celmer and Patricia Cronin will lead a group of snap-happy UUCFers (adults and families) to several photogenic spots nearby. On Sunday, July 13, we’ll start at the church with a few basic photography tips while we eat our brown bag lunch (BYO), then it’s off to take some photos until about 4:30 PM. Each of us will bring some of our photos to share at the session on the following Sunday, July 20, to discuss why we like it or what makes it “good” or “not so good.” Adults and kids are welcome to participate, but each should have a separate camera to avoid squabbling over who took that one really excellent picture. Use any camera…digital, film, or disposable. This offering is limited to four vehicles and as many photographers as can fit inside (no, it’s not OK to put little brother in the trunk or tie him to the roof-rack). Patricia and Andy are enthusiastic amateur photographers who have taken thousands of photos in film and digital formats. We have made most of the mistakes possible in photography, and along the way have won a few awards and had a few photos published. Suggested Donation to UUCF: NA For More Information: Contact the class leader/facilitator by sending an email to enrichment@frederickuu.org (be sure to indicate “Photo Safari” in the subject line of your email).
