    Health

    Today I went to a Health Qi-Gong (Chi Kung) workshop in Stellenbosh presented by Dr Jeff Lan. The event was part of a community outreach by the South African health Qi-Gong Association to promote mental and physical health. My son and daughter went with me and my daughter invited two of her friends along. Somebody sponsored the hall at the OJ Olivier art school for us to use.  We were about 32 people of which 7 was made up by Shirfu Jeff Lan and his direct students. He brought them along so that they can help the people how to assume the correct postures.
