A group identified as the Oxyden Debe Dancers stretches on an outdoor stage at Bowdoin College in Brunswick in this photo dated Aug. 3, 1984. On the topic of stretching at Bowdoin College, local participants in World T’ai Chi and Qigong Day will be outside the Walker Art Museum at 10 a.m. April 28 to fulfill their role in the global observance. World T’ai Chi & Qigong Day started in 1998 in Kansas City as a local, grassroots effort to bring attention to rapidly growing evidence supporting the practice of T’ai chi and Qigong as a means of promoting health and healing. In 1999 it went global, spreading to 70 nations on six continents, according to a release from organizers. “The primary goal of this global effort is twofold: to generate greater community awareness that T’ai Chi and Qigong are a user-friendly means of preventative health care that all ages can practice, and to dramatically connect people world-wide in a unified effort to promote health and celebrate life,” the release states.
