MARQUETTE — An introductory workshop to Tai Chi and Qi Gong will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church’s Morgan Chapel in Marquette from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday.

Tai Chi is a gentle mind/body practice that increases self-awareness, improves balance and enhances focus and attention. Originating centuries ago by Buddhist monks, this exercise is now integrated in the most respected hospitals and recovery centers across North America.

Jon and Diana Magnuson will serve as instructors. No prior experience is necessary. Cost of the workshop is $25 and includes a light, nutritious brunch. Proceeds will be used this summer by the Cedar Tree Institute, a nonprofit organization that initiates and provides services in the areas of mental health, interfaith collaboration and the environment, to plant 1,000 cedar trees across Marquette County.
