Interview with Bill Douglas, the founder of the World Tai Chi & Qigong Day

Bill Douglas is the co-founder (together with Angela Wong) of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day. Over a decade ago they invested their life savings in a vision of bringing together the global Tai Chi and Qigong family, so that we might together spread Tai Chi and Qigong to the entire planet at time when it was most needed by a stressed out modern world. Bill served as a retirement funds, payroll, and human resources administrator for several international corporations, before a career in environmental, voting rights, and human rights organizing, until eventually he began teaching Tai Chi and Qigong. Now he is the Tai Chi Expert for Dr. Andrew Weil's DrWeil.com, and was one of a handful of national Tai Chi experts to help formulate a National Council on the Aging national efficacy guide for aging professionals to begin Tai Chi programs for local aging populations. Bill has presented for the National Parkinson's Foundation, the American Heart Association, and for some of the world's largest corporations and health institutions. He is the 2009 Inductee to the Internal Arts Hall of Fame, the Extraordinary Service in the Field of Qigong Award recipient from the National Qigong Association; the Media Excellence on Qigong Award from the World Congress on Qigong; and the Leadership Award from the National Tai Chi Association.
