Greetings Everyone!

We at the American Society of Internal Arts have been working hard to
put together the greatest series of events this year starting with
the newly expanded Zhang San Feng Festival, held at East Stroudsburg
University in East Stroudsburg, PA. To begin, for the first time in
its history, the Festival has now been expanded to a 3-day event with
check-in on Thursday evening and the first day of workshops starting
Friday morning.

For those of you not familiar with the Zhang San Feng Festival, it is
an event where you pay one price then choose among dozens of "hands-
on" workshops to attend the entire weekend. Workshop subjects range
from tai chi, bagua and xingyi, to qigong, Chinese medicine, Daoist
philosophy, I-ching, etc. As usual we have some of the biggest names
in the internal arts world giving workshops at the Festival,
including Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming, Dr. John Painter, Master Henry Look,
Master C.P. Ong, Master David Chin, Master Jianye Jiang, Dr. Gary
Torres, Dr. Jay Dunbar and many many others (Please check out below
for a complete list)!

New for this year we've also developed a series of NEW and EXCITING
offerings starting with our first annual World Taiji And Qigong Day
celebration held at Warwick Town Park on April 24 with tons of FREE
stuff for attendees. June 4 - 6 we're offering teacher's conferences
for martial arts and holistic professionals providing thousands of
dollars of information and advice (for a FRACTION of the cost) from
top business professionals! This will be followed by first aid and
CPR courses being offering by the American Heart Association on June
6-7. June 8 - 10 five of the top teachers in the country will be
offering 3-day workshops providing the opportunity to study a single
subject with one teacher in-depth. These workshops end just in time
for the Festival, June 10 - 13, making this the best excuse for
taking some vacation time! The Festival is then followed by two post-
festival workshops, from June 13 - 18, offered by Master David Chin
and Dr. John Painter, both making for a terrific follow-up for the
new Festival.

The rest of the summer we're offering workshops nearly every weekend
at the university providing the opportunity to study rare subjects
with topnotch teachers. As with the Festival, room and board packages
are offered each weekend during the summer so you can park on Friday
and stay the weekend!! Parents, please make special note of the
Kungfu camp being offering July 30 - Aug 1. This is going to be a
great way for your kids to get an introduction to taiji, bagua,
xingyi and shaolin all in a safe and fun environment!

Please keep in mind we're offering an early bird discount to March 31
and we now have full on-line registration. To get more detailed
information on our workshops and events, or to register, please visit:

Sincerely,

Loretta M. Donnelly
Director - American Society of Internal Arts
