PETER: blackboard artist, musician, carpenter, gardener, tempeh maker, baker, shiatsuka, acupuncturist, chi kung instructor, martial artist, European, father, museum curator, writer. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he has been trying to turn every disadvantage into an advantage. And to go with the flow of every inevitable change. In the spirit of the I Ching. With the pragmatism of an imperturbable chi kung practitioner.
