Gloria Hanson was a dyslexia therapist at a private clinic in Houston, Texas for six years, while also running her own business as a children's educational advocate. She has also worked as a research assistant for the University of Texas Centre for Academic and Reading Skills in Houston, Texas.
Upon moving to the UK, Gloria trained for several years learning Infinite Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation with Master Jason Chan. She has completed additional advanced training with Master Chan.
Gloria has a long-standing and deep interest in the Eastern Arts of Tai Chi and Chi Kung. After years of diligent practice of these ancient arts, Gloria is now motivated to demonstrate and teach these arts. She believes everyone has the innate ability to lead a joyful, successful and abundant life.
Gloria is passionate about teaching a dynamic fusion of the ancient arts of Chi Kung, Tai Chi, and meditation. She believes everyone can naturally heal, cleanse, balance, nurture and strengthen themselves and reduce the stress of living in a hyperactive world. There is an infinite energy source that is naturally inherent in all of us that can increase physical and mental energy to sustain and nourish us throughout the day.
Additionally, Gloria studies Buddhist texts, Taoist texts and is a long-term student of A Course in Miracles. She has attended workshops with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Surya Das, Kenneth Wapnick (original editor of A Course in Miracles) and Byron Katie, well-known American author, lecturer and creator of a programme called The Work.
Gloria trained with Master Jason Chan for 20 years. Additionally, she trained teachers along side Master Chan and taught with him on retreats in the UK, Ireland, Thailand and Spain. She currently teaches and runs workshops in South Manchester.
Together with Peggy Foster, they run retreats in Assisi, Italy and Andalucia, Spain. Her DVD entitled, Chi Kung for Health & Well Being is available in our shop.
Peggy Foster was a Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Manchester for over 25 years, and taught Health Policy to students taking a nursing degree. Her M.A. in Social Policy was based on a two-year funded research project into patients' satisfaction levels with their General Practitioner, and her PhD in Social Policy was based on her research into women's health issues.
She left her academic career to teach Infinite Tai Chi and to write spiritual books with Master Jason Chan, under the pen-name Jane Rogers. She has undertaken three years of training in Infinite Tai Chi and Infinite Chi Kung, and seven years of advanced training with Master Jason Chan. She has also completed two years of part-time training as a psychotherapist.
Peggy has taught on The Light Foundation’s Infinite Tai Chi Teacher Training Course in Manchester as well as giving spiritual talks to a wide range of groups. Her core intention is to assist individuals to awaken and heal their minds, so they can change from living their lives predominantly in fear and pain to living their lives in lasting love and peace.
Peggy is a long-term student of A Course in Miracles, and has made an extensive study of modern Buddhist texts. She has also attended retreats and workshops by leading Buddhist teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh. She has meditated regularly for over twenty years and is particularly interested in healing all aspects of our lives through mind training and meditation.
Peggy was an associate teacher on Master Jason Chan's three-year Infinite Tai Chi Teacher Training course for over ten years. She has been invited by the Miracle Network to give talks at their annual conference, as well as at their 'Miracle Cafe' in Central London. She has also run spiritual workshops in Cork and Manchester and taught on spiritual retreats in Europe and Thailand. She writes spiritual articles, gives spiritual talks and teaches Infinite Tai Chi in her local community.
