Hiromi Johnson (pictured): Hiromi was born in Tokyo, Japan and began her practice of T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung in 1980 to rehabilitate her knees after surgery. She studied under two Masters of the Cheng-Ming School in Tokyo in 1988 and continued to practice after she moved to Charlottesville in 1998. Hiromi believes that one of her missions is to increase awareness of the health benefits of T'ai Chi and Ch'i Kung. In 2004, she founded a non-profit educational association, the Charlottesville T'ai Chi Center, to reach out to the Community. Her teaching focuses equally on the martial applications, health benefits, and meditation aspects of the Internal Martial Arts.
Reflect and recharge with a half-day retreat at Morven, the beautiful retreat center just 20 minutes from SMJH. You'll spend the morning with reflection, meditation, walking the grounds, and exploring evidence-based practices that foster inner resilience and strength.
Retreats are open to all staff, at the discretion of managers. Employees may use four hours of sick leave to attend the retreat, and all participants are eligible for four education contact hours.
