Testimonials - HIV/AIDS

Bernadette Kinniry, RSM, Tai Chi at Siloam
For the past four years, Golden Breath T'ai Chi has been offered at SILOAM on Wednesdays, from 5:50 - 6:30 pm. This provides those infected/affected by HIV/AIDS safe space for wholesome body/mind/spirit exercise on behalf of wellness. I have witnessed obvious improvement inphysical health, attitudes of self-worth and care, and a deepening sense of belonging in those who attend. Honoring the time to continue to learn this method of being, and applying it daily in one's flow of the day, makes a marked difference in the all-around wellness of the participant. Becoming aware of the sacredness of one's own breath, of the vibrant dance of that breathing as we choose to slow down and be, is priceless learning. I am so grateful for the generosity, skill, care and wisdom of Sibok and all our teachers. They are offering a significant gift to our world, and each who participates is a unique flow of that gift.
