Immerse yourself in the study of Taoist philosophy and wellness.

Studying Taoism and taiji quan (tai chi) is an amazing way to enrich one's life with health, increase one's peace and happiness, and develop greater knowledge and wisdom of how to live in harmony with nature. Both one’s inner nature and the nature around us. There is a lot of information about Daoism that we can gain through books, or by reading on the Internet, but nothing compares to the actual experience of learning the Taoist way in its native land of China, taught by a Chinese Taoist Master. To study under a Taoist Master who is fluent in both Chinese and English is a rare opportunity and privilege for those wishing to learn more about Taoism, taiji, and traditional Chinese culture.
