Fonvielle Jr., Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of History at UNC Wilmington will make his last public presentation at the Cameron Art Museum on the Battle of Forks Road, fought February 20-21, 1865. Confederate forces tried stubbornly to hold Wilmington against the rapidly advancing Union army with U.S. Colored Troops in the lead.

Tai Chi, an internal martial art, is a self-healing modality with roots in the Yang, Chen, and Wu styles. This course is a Yang/Tso variation. Tai chi focuses on breathwork, balance, stability and artful movements. This course will improve posture and circulation, enhance mental wellness, stimulate purposeful movements, as well as massage organs.
Daily practice will further enhance core strength and flexibility, improve reaction-time, as well as develop an overall sense of calm and peace in life. Breathwork and flexibility through martial applications are the essence of why Tai Chi has been around for over two thousand years. It’s aptly named: The Grand Ultimate.
This course will guide you through fundamental empowering movements using single-weighted postures. The gentle sequence of steps will enrich and improve your life on mental and physical levels. Tai Chi, a lifelong learning tool, will present tools you can use to develop optimal health and wellness across your lifespan.
