I've known Don and Tori Fiore for about 10 years. They have both been presenters at our annual Chi Celebration, a conference that I sponsor in San Diego. We have presenters come from all over the country and every year for the past 10 years, the participants request the return of Don and Tori. Their evaluation forms have "outstanding" in everything they have ever presented.
     Tori has come to my studio in San Diego to certify instructors in Crane Dancing. She is a gracious, well-organized and very detailed teacher. The form that she created has changed the lives of many people who find it easy to learn and practice. Tori also shared The Work of Byron Katie at the conference by working with participants on a one-on-one basis, and many have requested her return.
     Don is one of the most magical instructors I have ever had the honor to work with. His Tai Chi Kung form has been learned by many of my students who continually use his video to keep the practice in their lives. Don presented Feng Shui at our conference in a way that was easy to learn and understand.
     We honored both Don and Tori at the 9th Annual Chi Celebration as being Outstanding Teachers in their fields. I feel very fortunate to have met them and to have been able to be a student under their instructions.

     Remember the flap over "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"? Shirley MacLaine's "Out on a Limb"? Then, "The Celestine Prophecy"? The latest, touted even by Oprah herself, is "The Secret"… I'd like to introduce you to a quiet but insightful book, Grow In Light. For me, it's a far more delicious, spiritually nutritious read than any of those best sellers.
     Our organization is pleased to offer this book as a special fund-raiser for our Shalam-Oahspe Museum.

     I have used the book, MY LIFE WORKS, and have found that it has had profound effect on both my personal and professional life. This book was referred to me as a tool for use in a twelve step program that I participate in, and I have referred several people that I sponsor in this program to use this book. Without exception, every person has reported positively about his/her experiences as a result of the self-analysis that this book offers.

     I conducted a discussion/support group using MY LIFE WORKS and found the material an excellent basis for discussion and reflection. At the end of our 10-week commitment, many in the group wanted to continue using the second book, MY RELATIONSHIPS WORK.

     One of our instructors, Bernadine Meaker, M.S.W., utilized the MY LIFE WORKS text in one of the required graduate courses for our students who are pursuing a career in clinical psychology: Holistic Approaches to Mental Health. I sat in on this course and I can personally vouch for its usefulness as a tool for facilitating enhanced self-awareness and experiential learning.

     We find the MY LIFE WORKS journal is very well set out and clearly and simply written with excellent material. One lady buys the journal-book regularly and encourages all her clients to use it.

     As manager of the Resource Center we have found that the books MY LIFE WORKS and MY RELATIONSHIPS WORK have been consistently good sellers with our clientele.

     Both MY LIFE WORKS and MY RELATIONSHIPS WORK have sold exceptionally well in my Gift Shop not only to professional people such as Counselors and Teachers, but to individuals as well.

     After reading "Choose Love" and "Oneness," I was so inspired that I wanted to acquire more of Tori's meditative and reflective writings. I purchased "In Silence I Hear the Most," which spoke to my own experience of listening in silence and "Thoughts That Bring Me Balance," which opened me to becoming more conscious of the need for balance in my life. These booklets were so thought-provoking and spiritually enriching that I purchased several of each to pass on to friends.

     On the DVD, both Don and Tori break the movements into segments and show different angles. There is also a demonstration of the entire form, as well as a practice session. As a Tai Chi Instructor who is familiar with different forms, Tai Chi Kung is my all-time preference!

     Tori's "Crane Dancing" was a perfect match for my interest and capability in Tai Chi. Her patient instruction, with a dash of humor, has helped make class such an enjoyable, growing experience.

     The T'ai Chi Chih video is the easiest one and a good way to begin doing Tai Chi. Visually it is peaceful with a sunrise and mountain setting.

     Outstanding visual Tai Chi Chih practice video, also available in DVD, in a nature setting. Very easy to follow!

     Don Fiore has taught me 3 different forms of T'ai Chi over the years and is just excellent. I teach all of them. I also recommend his videos for my students, and they love them.

     I have taken both the Tai Chi Kung teacher training with Don and the Crane Dancing Qigong teacher training with Tori. The training was exacting and presented in earnest in an environment of love and compassion. I have now been a Tai Chi Instructor for over 3 years, but will never forget the lessons I learned during my teacher trainings with Don and Tori.
