On April 26, 2025, the world will once again come together in a wave of movement and mindfulness for World Tai Chi & Qi Gong Day. This annual celebration, held on the last Saturday of April, is a global event that unites practitioners in over 80 countries to promote health, balance, and inner peace through the ancient arts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

This year, the Wine Country Tai Chi Society will mark the occasion with a special gathering at the stunning Gellatly Nut Farm in West Kelowna, British Columbia. Nestled along the shores of Okanagan Lake, this historic farm provides the perfect natural setting to cultivate energy, connect with community, and deepen our appreciation for these transformative practices.
