Welcome to the Taoism Courses!

Taoism is way of life intended to unite one with the Tao, that is, with the very essence and power of the Universe. This unity is searched because it grants one success in his/her enterprises, inspiration, health and happiness. Last but not least, it shows him/her the way of minimal resistance (effort) in achieving his/her goals.

Taoism has flourished in China's Warring States period, several thousands years ago. It is still in use today as a life philosophy and practice.

Yin and Yang by Eskild TjalveOur courses draw from the ancient teachings of Taoist Masters such as Lao-tzu ("tzu" means old/venerable man or master), Chuang-tzu and Lieh-tzu. A great deal of interest is shown to the Book of Changes (I-ching), which may be used as means of predicting future events. Unlike other oracles, it gives one advice and guidance!

Basically we follow 3 directions:

         - explanation of the main Taoist topics and ideas like emptiness, nondoing, yin-yang and tao;

         - initiation into this way of life called Taoism that helps one reach the higher sphere of attainment and self-development through the practice of emptiness.

         - teachings on Tao as how it should be applied in the real life.
