The S.T.A.R. and B.E.A.M. Programs utilize the G.E.T.I.T. Together ™
Paradigm which was created by Master Hill to integrate right and left brain functions into a complete integrative neural net and to assist clients into integrating paradoxical and contradictory aspects of their personalities into an integrated whole being. It combines western analytical thinking with eastern ideograms along with tai chi and chigung to entertain, educate and empower those it serves. It has been utilized by cardio rehab facilities, mental health clinics, eating disorder facilities, behavioral health professionals, physical and occupational therapists and more. Fragmentation and alienation is at the root of many of today’s societal challenges and this program is designed to be a bright STAR in that darkness and a BEAM that edifies, supports and enlightens those it serves.

T.est it – Be present and see and feel what works for you! Examine outcomes and consequences – cultivate mindfulness of the impact you have and what you want to create and manifest within you and around you.
“When you have a clear GOAL you can direct your ENERGY through verbal and physical TECHNIQUES that best fit the situations you encounter to achieve your GOAL. Use all situations to cultivate your INNER SKILLS and TEST IT to make sure it works for you and be responsible for what you create!”

“G.E.T.I.T. Together”
You are a STAR! Cultivate your light, your lightness and brightness!
"I trained in taichi for a year but it wasn't until I started training with Peter Hill's g.e.t.i.t. integrative arts taichi program that i finally felt the integration between my mind and body start to actualize. I am amazed at how these seemingly simple exercises have had such a profound effect on my physical, emotional and mental balance."

"The g.e.t.i.t. taichi and chi gung program literally saved my life! Not only did it give me the tools to better see and understand the crisis I was going through but also provided the exercises and energy work to help lift me up when i was depressed and to help calm me down when anger and frustration were at their peaks.
