What exactly is TAO? Five Fabulous Retreats

Dear Lovers of Living in an Enlightened NOW,

in Unity with the Great Beyond:

Original Tao is a Way of Life.

(pronounced “dow”)

It helps us navigate complex Yin-Yang pathways.

Tao is not a deity, not a God. It’s mysterious, ineffable. But we can feel the flow of its lifeblood as Qi, the Life Force that enlivens everything.

It’s a unique, simple, whole-body natural philosophy of living in harmony with a conscious cosmos.

500 years after Lao Tzu, some made it into a temple religion, owned by the empire. That’s a cultural project, not Original Tao.

Tao is also a Loving Energy Science. It offers us moderns access to what is hidden beneath material science and deity religion.

Tao directly connects us to the Qi Field, which holds Immortal Source AND our Highest Worldly Destiny.

It’s quite a feat, to engage both at once – AND embody “wu wei”, the art of living spontaneously, in the NOW.

Tao means “natural Way” or “walk a path”. Trees don’t struggle to grow, they just grow. Our life is our path. As we take each step in life, Tao unfolds effortlessly from within.

Daily energy movements & meditations cultivate health and harmony.

Tao Qi Arts and Sciences evolved over thousands of years of practical testing.

They penetrate truth by EXPERIENCE of Qi, not by book learning. We cannot “think our Way” to Source.

Heart is the Ruler of our sensory body-mind, AND portal to Original Spirit.
