Student Testimonials
“I’ve always enjoyed this class for the social connection it offers but also for the atmosphere of encouragement, self-discovery and self-care. Thanks for providing such a welcoming space.” Alicia

Tai Chi with Robin at Merrymeeting Adult Education
Please call Merrymeeting Adult Education (207) 729-7323 to request a catalog and learn about my current and upcoming class offerings. Currently I am teaching a beginner class on Tuesday afternoons and a “continuing” tai chi class for students who have had some experience with the practice. The courses at Merrymeeting range from eight to ten weeks. We meet from late September through May at the Merrymeeting adult education center in Topsham. Although both the beginner Tai Chi Easy™ and Continuing Tai Chi classes are open to students of varied levels, I encourage beginners to enroll in Tai Chi Easy™.
Tai Chi with Robin at Head of Tide Park in Topsham
In summer I offer outdoor “Healer Within” qigong on a drop-in basis. We meet at Head of Tide Park from 9:00-10:00 AM on Saturday mornings. Our next date for 2026 is July 4th. If you’d like to be on my “Head of Tide” email list please use the contact form. For those who wish donate in support of our Head of Tide practice group, I suggest choosing a local charity that promotes community wellness. Two such not-for-profit charities in our area are Oasis Free Clinics and Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program.
Head of Tide is a public park in the town of Topsham on the Cathance Road. Since the space is available on a first-come basis, we usually meet in the lower picnic pavilion unless it is already occupied. In that case, we’ll be at the upper picnic pavilion. Please note that no prior experience is needed. However I do require a waiver. You may download and complete my liability waiver* (see below) and bring it along to the first session. I will also have paper copies available. Attendance is free and open to all.
Robin is no longer teaching tai chi on Zoom
From 2020 to 2025 I led a drop-in Zoom “Healer Within” tai chi practice group that was donation-based. I started this group with local folks who I had been meeting with in person prior to the pandemic. Many people stayed with me on Zoom from the greater Brunswick, Maine area. Additionally, people from across the country found us and joined in from far-flung places including Florida, South Carolina, Oregon, and St. Louis, Missouri. We practiced the Integral Tai Chi nine-movement form with some Animal Frolics and other practices tossed in from time to time. In September of 2025 I concluded this program. If you came to one class or many, please know how grateful I am for your participation. May you continue to use what you learned in class in your daily life. Love, Robin
