'Wild Nights! Wild Nights!' by Emily Dickinson 1830-1886, written in 1868

Wild Nights! Wild Nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port, —
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!

Might I but moor

To-night in Thee!

SIFU SHI YAN MING TEACHING

During a seminar in Amsterdam, Sifu taught the basics of Ch'an (Zen) philosophy together with Tai Chi Chuan, Gong Fu and Chi Gung. Ch'an philosophy and the martial arts the Buddhist Shaolin monks practise are inseperable. This is just a small part of the teachings from that day.

CHEN VILLAGE Trailer. Empty MInd Films

Our upcoming new release in July is CHEN VILLAGE, a story that revolves around life in Chen Village, China and Chen Family Tai Chi. There are 3,000 residents in Chen Village (Chenjiagou) and 2,500 practice Tai Chi Chuan on a daily basis. Almost ninety percent of the residents bear the Chen surname.
In this feature length film we explore the growing number of Tai Chi Chuan followers from abroad that descend upon the village and how the Chen style and the generations of the Chen family have survived China's turbulent history to make Chen style popular all over the world. A fact mainly attributed to 19th generation grand master Chen Xiaowang.
It is a fascinating look into rural village life and Chen Village's claim to fame as the birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan.

The Empty Mind - Wudang Mountain Tai Chi

A clip of our journey to the peaks of Wudang Mountain in China and to the Purple Cloud temple. It is 6.30am and Priest Yuen is starting his day with TaiChi while his students assemble for morning exercise. We removed voiceovers and narrative, so you can sit back and enjoy the really nice soundtrack. Jon Braeley producer of EmptyMind Films.
