“By
practicing stillness, by seeing all things as equal and a part of
the harmonious whole, one becomes receptive to what is."

The
Taoist Center embraces the Tao of Being.
The Tao of Being is a here and now experience of life that involves the dance of yin and yang, I and thou, what is and what is not, yes and no, gray and gray. The Tao of Being knows that ‘being’ in nature draws forth our own natural selves into consciousness and experience. Experiencing our nature, and consciously engaging our life force, we evolve in our ability to choose to dance our natural selves, and to realize the Divine similarities between all of life. Realizing our own divinity is the foundation of the lifelong process of bringing divine presence into our lives. The Tao motivates each individual’s process of unfolding, and is encouraged by the presence of courage, patience, curiosity, love and help from other students of the nature of things.
The Meditation that we practice supports the process of leaving behind monkey mind by entering the temple of the body, by being present to our felt experience. This is possible at any moment, in any activity. It is our own felt experience that leads us to the many dimensions of the sacred within ourselves. Education, in our terms (as in the Latin ‘educare’ to draw forth), is to call forth the true nature of our being, in all its unique personal manifestations. What we teach are ways to access this, and ways to enable the habitual to be recognized and thereby fall away, thus allowing the natural to emerge. Healing naturally arises when we bring the light of compassionate awareness to our psychological and emotional wounds and call forth our natural nature. The spirit is always whole and finds an entry whenever we open to our heart. We support the process of healing through presence, I-Thou relationship and nature as reflector. In our sessions, workshops and consultancy our main intention is to resource each person or organization with the skills and understanding necessary to reawaken the innate capacity for healing, well-being and wholeness; for reorganization, wisdom and right action."
