What is Taoism

- A 12-lesson course
delivered through email -

Course description

This course provides teachings about the main Taoism topics, such as tao, wu-wei and wu. We explain their meaning and the features related to them. We also suggest further resources to continue your initiation into Taoism.

Please note that we don't deal with the religious Taoism. Our approach is inspired mainly by Lao-tzu's Tao-te ching Taoism viewed like a way of life.

This course is the level one of our three-level Taoism initiation course. It is followed by level two - dedicated to the I-ching matters - and level three - dealing with the Taoist meditation methods.

If you take all the three levels at once you benefit from a discount.
