To register online for either the in-person or on-line festival, you will need to create an account if you don't already have one. You can create an account here. You must register online for on-site lodging because there are only a limited number of beds on-site. You can also always stay at one of the local hotels [click here to see them].

Important Update on Registration System
Our programmers have been working night and day to improve the registration system. We've done a lot of work on it, so as of May 24th it has been much improved - even over the last two weeks.
(So if you tried to register before and found it cumbersome - please try again. We promise it will be easier.)
At this point (May 24) all of the apartments have been taken, but there are still 6 single beds and 5 queen sized beds available. Don't forget to add the Friday meal if you plan to join us on Friday evening at Hunan Garden before
the Push Hands event. You can also feel free to purchase a backpack similar to the ones we had last year, or backpack from the 2017 Symposium in NJ (which are a higher quality than the maroon backpacks from last year). You can even purchase
a fan while quantities last.
You can also now give a free-will donation in order to get registered to receive the zoom link for the on-line portion of the Tai Chi & Qigong Festival and Symposium on June 13, 2026. We have a spectacular line up for you of workshops, legacy panels, and academic discussions of research.

About the On-line portion
The pricing for the online portion on June 13, 2026 of the festival is simple; it's anything you wish to donate. In-person festival goers will automatically get tickets to the on-line portion of the festival, but if you don't come to the in-person portion you can still get a ticket to the on-line portion just by giving a donation of any size. After you donate, you will receive a link the day before the June 13, 2026 event.
About the On-site Accommodations
Apartments are right next to the lodge, and each has its own entrance, bathroom, and fridge. They also have microwaves and air conditioning. Apartments on the second floor ($135 each night) are cheaper than the first floor ($145 each night). Stairs only, no elevator.
Cabins are a few more steps away.
Each person would get their own bedroom, but you share the bathroom(s) and kitchenette. Not all areas have
air-conditioning and 2 don't have windows, so review the amenities carefully when you register for the room.
The cabins are co-ed, but if you feel the need for a single-gender cabin, you can call our registrar
who will help make those arrangements. Cabin prices are based on the size of the bed;
queen sized beds are $125 each night and singles are only $85 each night.
Checkout time is 11:00 on Sunday morning. If you wish to stay and help with the cleanup, we will probably be doing that between 11 and 12.
Go to the Venue page for pictures of the accommodations and more information about it.
About the meals
Saturday meals are included in the in-person ticket price. Friday night meal is not included, and you must register for that separately. We will be eating out. The cost for Friday banquet at Hunan Garden is $35 which includes meal, beverage, and tip. On Sunday, anyone still around after the closing ceremonies at 8:00 in the morning are welcome to join us at Cafe Ala Mode for breakfast (each pays their own way).
Saturday Meals are scrumptious, and provided by Eddie's Roadhouse. Unlike last year where all the meals were extra, this year we are including meals for everyone in the price.
Some people have asked about our cancellation policy. There really isn’t one. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, and technically all the fees are contributions for which you get the benefits you requested on the order form. Therefore, we can’t do refunds at all. We set our budget so that it just breaks even. We are not in the business of event management, therefore, there is no buffer or cash to return since all the money we receive goes out to cover the costs of the festival, and those costs don’t change if you can’t make it. You will get a letter at the end of the year thanking you for your donation to charity for the IRS so that you can deduct it on your taxes.
We do, if necessary, extend a credit into the following year if you have to cancel unexpectedly for some reason. If it would cause you a hardship, and IF there is enough surplus after all the festival expenses have been paid, we can try to provide a refund if at all possible. Please let us know if you are in that situation. Otherwise, if you need to cancel you will get an email telling you that you have X dollars in credit the following year. The following year you email us that information, and we will arrange for you to get the tickets and/or accommodations using the credit.
We encourage people who are unsure if they can make it to register and pay as a walk-in to avoid the problem.
