Dear Chi Lovers,

The 27 summer retreats listed below are a wonderful way to have a „spiritual
learning vacation‰. It‚s a unique place, sensibly offering under one roof high
level serious training in all the Tao movement, healing, and meditation arts.
The 15 faculty, each a master of their art, has over 500 years collective
experience teaching. Most courses offer certification credits.

You will be welcomed into a warm and friendly community of Tao practitioners
that laughs a lot. We know how to have serious fun. Toss in good food, swimming
pools, sauna & hot tub set in a sunny, serene Catskill mountain setting, and you
have a winner – at a reasonable low cost. Getting there is easy – 90 minutes by
bus from NYC, with a free pickup on the Catskills end.

The transmission experience of cultivating chi in a focused group is beyond
words. The chi field at Dao Mountain builds each year from our collective
practice, boosting your growth in unique and powerful ways. I guarantee you will
feel these retreats are the energetic highlight of your year. I‚ve been
attending them for the last 20 years because I get a charge that lasts the rest
of the year. Many others tell me how it changed their lives. Weekend workshops
in cities are convenient and valuable, but the live-in experience of these
retreats is of a higher order.

Feel free to call Karin, the registrar for Healing Tao University, to get
her expert advice on what courses are best for you.

Looking forward to sharing the Chi with you this summer,

Michael Winn,
Founder & Director,
Healing Tao University
